micro four thirds

So I just received the brand new lens today, and am testing it around the house. Here are my first impressions and thoughts, in no particular order- Great build quality Looks fantastic Focus is smooth and enjoyable to use Aperture ring is nice, but oddly stepped and skips over things like f11...

Hi all. I have a question about the settings when using the focus bracket option on my Lumix G90. I did ask this over on mu43 and didn't get the answer so it might be an unknown question so apologies for that, but here goes just in case. There are two settings one for number of shots in the...

I have not been able to find a thread specifically for images from the (now) ancient E-PM2, so I will start one. I'm sure that I am not the only person here who has one, and appreciates the strengths of this tiny gem. Please post shots from yours :) . Mine arrived (second hand) a couple of...

Chris and Jordan's overall view into 2022, but the m43 comments start below. A reasonable take. I just hope they continue to do small body options. Loving my EPL7.

I'm using the current Vision 2020 - Take 2 (AKA Vision 2022) to try and do some direct comparisons between the PL25mm and P20mm as I consider picking up the new Olympus 20mm f/1.4 Pro. I also have the P14mm so I might add a couple from that as well. I'm going to try and shoot both from the...

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...

Caveat, this is a post I orginally wrote and published on MU-43, I am transfering it here, because of the circumstances but am not going to take it down from MU-43 (yet, I`ll see how it fares). It was orginally two posts, one on the general usability and one on shooting in high ISO, but I am...

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...

A little more than a year ago, a devastating wildfire burned more than a fifth of the small Oregon town where I live. Today much of what had been reduced to ashes is being rebuilt, but near downtown, the skeleton of a grand old building - that was once a museum-like warehouse-shop of Asian...

Here are some shots with my 75-300mm ii.

The sky! Tonight . . . just minutes ago . . . Romanced with Luminar 3: Crop one: Crop two: Cheers, Jock

Hi, I'm considering these 2 camera's. Does anyone have experience with 1 or both? Since the lens I'm inquiring about are pany lens. I might as well get 1 lens thrown in with the body for free. What is the performance like with both? Are they comparable? I already have the omd em 1 mark I...

Hi, I had lens lens bookmarked for purchase. Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 Panasonic 45-175mm f4-5.6 Does anyone use these? I'm going to get the panasonic 20mm 1.7, for my fast prime. But want some general lens I had a similar thread, so if this is redundant please delete thx,

Morning fog. West Virginia, USA. October 2021.

I fell yesterday on Peebles Island. We were 9/10 of the way around the perimeter trail. One moment I was walking beside the spotter-in-chief, and the next I was on my back in the dirt. Could be I stepped on a root or a stone or maybe just rolled my ankle. The spotter-in-chief would later say...

I find this lens to be rather underrated. I think the f/4-5.6 aperture scares some people away from it. I'll start off the showcase with some of my favorites images from this lens. 1 2 3 4 5 6

Trying to educate myself a bit on this one.... With the existing Micro 4/3 smilie, what is the mark at start of it and what does it mean? 🤔 Kinda' looks like an upside down 'n'.

The Oly M1 is the quickest deploying camera I own. Push the power lever forward, and it's ready to go, no waiting for anything. Some quick grabs while the spotter-in-chief was driving. Cheers, Jock

I'm looking to experiment with using one of my older m43 cameras as a webcam replacement now we're stuck WFH in NZ for a few more weeks. I have a generic USB3 capture card which takes HDMI-in and is plug 'n play - Windows 10 picks it up and recognises it immediately as a video source. If I...

Hi I've compiled a list of lens I would like to purchase down the road. Does anyone use these lens and what is the sweet spot for said lens? 1) Olympus 17mm f2.8 2) Panasonic 17mm f2.8 3) Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 4) Panasonic 45-175mm f4-5.6 the sweet spot I'm referring to...

Hi, I have an Olympus OMD-EM1 mark 1. I bought a Nikon adapter for it. I would like some set up tips for using Nikon glass in manual focus. I made shutter priority on the mode dial set for manual focus with 2 buttons dedicated to focus peaking and the other button for magnify. Is that all I...

Took a walk in the rain at Hudson Crossing Park, Schuylerville, NY, near Lock 5 of the Champlain Canal. We think this is a weather station: With optional equipment: We found holes dug in the ground with what we believe are the remains of turtle eggs nearby. We what we don't know is if the...

This could tempt me if it’s small with decent ibis. I still have some nice mu43 lenses. https://www.43rumors.com/first-leaked-image-of-the-new-olympus-e-p7-and-8-25mm-pro-lens/#disqus_thread I’d really like to see this new company survive. I like the digital pens.

Cheers, Jock

A bit long in the tooth and on the low spec side these days but it's still got a bit of charm to it. Now with the classic Olympus 17/2.8 and a VF2 evf, I'll probably keep it handy in the truck. A test image, shot in RAW, then played with a bit in Capture One Pro: I really love the way...

So..... this is a Mustang??!! This may be why it's better to "Never grow up!" I think my eyes are bleeding.

Just read the Olympus encyclical on "Weather resistance," and apparently the M1 isn't fully weather resistant unless the hot shoe cover is in place. Or perhaps someone can recommend a replacement that actually worked for them . . . there are lots out there . . . is there one that works well...

https://www.dpreview.com/interviews/1852244131/interview-aki-murata-of-omds-olympus-we-re-more-flexible-now Among the interesting things mentioned by this OMDS exec is computational imaging, in a way that's "new to the market." I have been thinking for a while now that the micro four thirds...

Pileated woodpeckers are notoriously shy. They play coy. Get too close, and they slide around to the other side of the tree so you can't see them. But on a walk in Sodus, NY, I got one who wanted to pose for me. I call this a "God likes me" moment. Cheers, Jock

I lost my camera and lenses in Africa when we couldn't get back because of the pandemic. A short trip turned into a permanent move. I'm looking to replace the lost camera with an Olympus OMD EM10 Mark II. Most of the cameras I'm looking at come with no lens or the stock 12-42mm lens that I'm not...

I bought my Olympus OM-D E-M1 II Kit (F2.8 12-40 pro lens) back at the beginning of January this year, new from HDEW. Imagine my horror tonight when I realised the seal had torn & come free from the lens - so much for it being a Pro lens too! Have emailed HDEW as will be covered under...

Today. Foul weather camera. Cheers, Jock

Waaaay out west . . . western New York State, that is, my sister-in-law was opening the living room drapes, when the spotter-in-chief (aka better half), practically shouts, "Quick, look at that sky! Get your camera!" I'm lolling in a recliner, in my jammies, "Hurry up!" she says as I struggle...

Marco Rubio was caught in an airport the other day by a Vlogger who was quizzing him about UFOs. He said: "We have stuff flying over our sensitive military installations, and we don't know what it is. If it is from 'somewhere else,' that is of concern. If it is from another country, that is...

I was browsing the Olympus outlet’s refurbished camera site, and the E-M5 iii and E-M1ii were both available for $875. Which would you pick?

I am currently using a slightly out-of-date Panasonic Lumix GX8 camera - but like quite a few Lumixes I've used in the past, it features some nifty in-camera monochrome 'styles'. Which, to be honest, most of the time I never use - I've always tended to do monochrome conversions from RAW files...

A gray, grim day. The water going over the dam was amazing. The eagles nest looked forlorn. This was the only wildlife we found. The water flow almost flattened the rapids. Cheers, Jock

Heartbreaking pretty today. Cheers, Jock

Remember this . . . first light from the foul weather camera? This is what hammered by a snowstorm looks like (from this am) Cheers, Jock

Adirondack Northway this AM, northbound for church. The better half says, "Look, the Alps of the Sky!" Nuff said. The foul weather camera strikes again. Cheers, Jock

Just had to find out what all the fuss was about the Olympus 12-100 f4 Pro lens, so I rented one to compare with my Lumix 12-60 f3.5-5.6 and my Lumix 45-175 f4-5.6. Now, both my Lumix lenses possess extremely good IQ, but I didn't expect them to be as good, if not better than the Oly 12-100...

All SOOC. Cheers, Jock
