The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R Pros: size and weight, excellent sharpness, cost Cons: darkness and construction Opinion: 80-300mm equivalent in less than 9cm and 200gr! As for the transportability and the cost leaves you speechless. Of course it's not metal, it's not a 2.8 etc... however, it is robust enough to digest many mistreatments and, shooting during the day, hardly goes into crisis due to the brightness. As for IQ there is nothing to say. Compared with the Olympus 45/1.8, at the same focal length, it returns virtually overlapping images. And the sharpness is not lacking even at maximum length. I do not know if there is homogeneity of copies, however, if all are like the one in my possession, you want to travel light, you do not make photographic hunting your purpose (for that there are the PRO Oly), it is categorically to have. sent on August 18, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Pros: size and weight. sharpness in the middle Cons: slightly soft corners, closing/opening mechanism, flat delicacy. Opinion: to think of having an equivalent 18-36mm in 155gr and 5cm is something resounding. Yet in Olympus they have succeeded (I am not aware of any optics of this size and weight of any other manufacturer and/or system). The optics themselves are not very bright, but this is not necessary to say, just read the values, and it cannot be counted among the defects. The yield is really excellent in the center and on the sides since the maximum opening. One peculiarity is that it is very sharp on neighboring subjects while losing a thread in the focus indefinitely. Closing by 1 stop improves the overall yield, while closing more has no other improvement. The extreme angles are a little soft, especially at 18mm, but this can be there. Very few aberrations and practically no flares, even without a lampshh and also in the backlights. The distortion is perfectly correct from the software and therefore can be said almost absent. A small annoyance is that you have to "open it and close it" (it has an extension mechanism) and is therefore not immediately ready for use. The small size, combined with a rather important extension, force the inner flat of the focus to wide movements in the "strait". This in the long run causes the flat to break and the consequent repair. To remain light (in full m43 philosophy) and not sacrifice yield is a must have optics, unique and incredible. For those who want to dare more, there are 7/14 (Oly and Pana) and 8/18, but let's talk about double weights and minimum sizes. sent on April 02, 2021 |
 | Olympus OM-D E-M10 II Pros: size, yield, customization, tiltable touch screen Cons: malleability files, grip, lack of panoramic photos "in the room" Opinion: I have had it for more than two years now and I feel I can make a pretty precise judgment. The machine itself is very nice, really small and light, does not have much grip (however it is perfect with its additional ECG3 grip) and is customizable practically throughout (between keys and menus). The dimensions and weights with 3 fixed optics (12, 17 and 45) are embarrassing: it is practically in a small pouch! The settings are many and some are typical of machines of a much higher category. Some goodies like live composite, bulb and time are really unique, even if I don't use them. Coming from Fuji E2, another world! The AF S is great, always precise and fast, while the AF S and tracking are only façade, that is, they only work for people or things that move slowly. Very comfortable touch screen and tiltable. The viewfinder, despite being a bit small, is complete with all the info and very defined. Now to the files. The machine can be exploited up to 1600 iso in a sinful way, up to 3200 iso if in good light, over better not to go if you want quality. The colors and the balance of white are excellent in all situations, realistic and well calibrated, as are fuji ones. Good Olympus! The files it churns out are absolutely of excellent definition (even with non-PRO lenses) but they are certainly not among the most malleable. Difficult recoveries of the high lights, a little better the shadows, certainly those of E2 Fuji were more workable. For the development of ORFs, after several attempts with CR and Affinity, I prefer to use Olympus WorkSpace by exporting the tiff that I take back with Affinity or with PSE for jpg. It seems to me that Olympus WorkSpace develops files that are much cleaner, more incisive and more defined than CR. I have never tried Lightroom as, as a simple enthusiast, I do not consider the payment of subscriptions justified. The judgment on the machine is therefore very positive for amateur use and for its price range. If you want better results you have to go up in category, certainly with the new EM1mkiii (staying at Olympus house) or on high-end APS-C. With APS-C of the same range, however, the comparison is absolutely on par with regard to the machine and in favor of Oly for the system (lots of optics, excellent prices, weights and sizes). sent on April 02, 2021 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Pros: compactness, lightness, cost used Cons: need to "open" it to shoot, distortion, lack of MF, low brightness Opinion: Purchased used pending replacement of the Oly 9-18 and based on some reviews that gave it for sharp. Let's say that sharpness is not the main quality I found. Maybe my copy isn't the best? or maybe my expectations were too high? I don't know, though, with the same focus, I think it's decidedly less brilliant, etched and sharp than Oly 9-18. A disaster you will say. Actually, no. It is of a unique comfort in size and lightness, and now that I have the 9-18 again (definitely not a huge boulder) I realize it. He's in any pocket and he's got enough a hike to get out of the way even when you want to go out light only with him. To see it and pick it up looks like a toy and it seems amazing that it can pull off what it can do. Ah, two small annoyances are: - the need to rotate the dial to activate it. It is therefore not "ready to use" as soon as you turn on the machine - a decent distortion at 12mm. Nothing serious and still easily corrected in post with a click. Lack of manual focus and low brightness I put them in the cons, but they know each other before buying it. Would I buy it back? yes, maybe not, I don't know. True that for what it costs used, and for the clutter, there is hardly even a cap. But the photographic rendering is not one that leaves you speechless. sent on April 11, 2020 |
