    Micro 4/3 Some thoughts on the GX850

    *** This was posted first (Nov. 2021) on mu-43, but since a lot of folks moved here and the community seems very nice too, I'd like too share this again. :) *** Hey all, just wanted to share some thoughts on the GX850 with the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 - a really nice combo, which I definitely have...

    Micro 4/3 Showcase OM System 40-150mm f4 Pro

    Couldnā€™t see a showcase thread for this new lens from OMDS, so thought Iā€™d start one. Got my copy this morning. Canā€™t believe how small this thing is. Goes well on the Pen F as well as the larger EM1. Handles very well, and appears to be nice and sharp. A couple of quick and dirty snaps of my...

    Micro 4/3 OM-1 post-processing software

    https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html suggests that my ancient copy of Lightroom 6.14 will be able to process OM-1 raw files if I can upgrade it to CameraRaw 14.2 or later. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html...

    Hi!, M4/3 rank amateur from CO

    Haven't been shooting much lately. Popped over to mu-43 to browse and found a ghost town. Followed the breadcrumbs here, looks like a nice place.

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus E-M5 Mark II

    Maybe this is a little too late for a camera that's almost seven years old, but I see several people still shooting with one, so why not add photos to a showcase thread? I was out shooting today in the natural JPEG mode, with auto WB and the TTartisans 23/1.4, which renders images quite warm...

    Micro 4/3 Bigger rubber eye cup for the G9

    I am thinking of getting one of the bigger eye cups as in bright light I have trouble with my photogray eyeglasses. Anyone here use one and does it make a difference? Thanks.

    Micro 4/3 What Do You Use MFT For?

    As I tinker with different setups with my EM5.3, I figured Iā€™d reach out for a quick sort of ShotKit type thread (not seeing one, please let me know if Iā€™m missing it). If you use MFT, what do you use it for? Is it your only system or do you couple it with other systems? What kit (bags...

    Micro 4/3 How I re-discovered my less used lenses....

    Since last summer I've been a co-organizer for a meetup group and have been "focusing" on going to small towns around the area (keeping it within an hour or so of home). Over the last 6 or 7 years using M43 cameras (EPL1, EP5, Gx8, Gx85, G9) I've acquired some good glass (although I think most...

    Micro 4/3 Panasonic - return focus point to center using button(s)?

    I have been shooting mostly with an Olympus E-M1 ii lately and appear to have lost some of my Panasonic memory. Previously my main camera was a Panasonic G85. I started shooting with it again to refresh my Panasonic skills as I have a G9 on the way. I would have sworn that I had the camera set...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 40-150 vs 40-150 (Battle of the Pros)

    Has anyone shot with both the 40-150 2.8 and the newer 40-150 4? Iā€™m strongly tempted to go with the 2.8 because of the price of the new f4, but obviously the new f4 is compact enough to be tempting, since itā€™d be a dual use landscape/near field wildlife option. The ability to use TCā€™s is...

    Micro 4/3 Using type II HighRes hand held with G9 and 12-35

    Full image is from a handheld type II HighRes image using the G9/12-35 combination. Second image is a 100% of the steeple top. I took about 8 different HighRes of different subjects in this outing and found that only 1 or 2 attempts were needed to get this quality of image. For me it is very useful.

    Micro 4/3 OM1 EVF bug for everyone?

    When viewing through the EVF in high speed mode and using SAF the viewfinder will lock up in low light conditions, requiring either battery or lens removal before switching power back on again. This only seems to occur when pressing shutter to acquire focus. I used the MZ12-100mm and PL200mm so...

    Micro 4/3 Another OM-1 video from DPR: OM-1 vs. R3 for Sports

    This time it's the OM-1 vs. the Canon R3 for shooting a hockey game. Even though the R3 clearly has a huge advantage being a camera aimed at this kind of work, it was an a great review of what the OM-1 can and can't do well. The also note that the lens/body kit is about $3800 USD for the OM1...

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus M.Zuiko 100-400 f5.0-6.3

    Thought I'd try renting to see if I might want one for myself. Initial response is too large and heavy for my needs, but very good overall performance when mounted on my E-M5 Mk III. All Handheld SOOC Bird was moving (cropped)

    Which Format?

    As seen on internet. Format discussion. Is Medium Format worth it? (Canon R6) I'm asking: Is Full Frame worth it? (APS-C) Is APS-C Format worth it? (MFT) Is MFT Format woth it? (1 inch) Is 1 inch Format worth it? (compact sensor) Is Smartphone Format worth it? (?) What you think?

    Micro 4/3 Panasonic GX80/GX85: the real base ISO is 100?

    Some time ago I noticed on PhotonsToPhotos.net that GX80 might have its best DR at its "pull ISO" setting of 100. Usually DR suffers greatly if you let the camera overexpose by a stop to achieve this pull setting. But the graph at PhotonsToPhotos begged to differ. I made sample shots just out...

    Micro 4/3 Oly Pro Capture Low, Auto C-AF or Assigned?

    Playing with my new E-M1ii and particularly Pro Capture. Can't seem to find if continuous auto focus is automatically included when Pro Capture Low is set or whether it needs to be assigned separately? Thanks!

    Micro 4/3 After the om-1 , a EM 5 iii replacement?

    Will such a camera be produced? Does it all hinge on how the om-1 sells? How would it differ from the om-1 if it was introduced? When would it be announced assuming om system continue? I own a EP-5 [ with vf-4] and EM 5 ii right now . Would love a new mid range camera with a better EVF.

    Micro 4/3 New Sensors Talk

    I thought it might be interesting to separate out a discussion on the merits of the sensors in the OM-1 and GH6, since anytime Micro Four Thirds introduces a step up in sensor resolution or IQ, it's a momentous occasion. As time goes on hopefully we'll have several firsthand accounts to add to...

    Panasonic Lumix G 12mm f1.4

    Panasonic obviously didn't make any money on this early-entry prime in MFT, but I prefer it over the smaller and much lighter Oly 12mm.

    Micro 4/3 Focus Limiter, E-M1 ii etc.

    I have an E-M1 ii on the way and while doing a bit of research on said camera I came across the fact that the body has a focus limiting capability. Quite interesting from a birding perspective [ given the right conditions] and I was wondering if it a really useful feature or just more marketing...

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN

    This is a nice lens. Not quite up to the Olympus 25mm f1.2 in sharpness, but as near as dammit to matter. What's more, the OOF blur is pretty close so subject isolation is similar. Here's one wide-open in awful light at ISO 6400: The Jazz Saxophonist by Paul Kaye, on Flickr And another...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus E-PL8 AF

    Hi, the EPL-8 is currently my main m43 camera. The AF sometimes behaves a little odd. The AF when I have all the green boxes "active" sometimes latches on the wrong things. I mostly document my kids/family, and I just want things to be in focus. I set the release prio to focus. Only using...
