canon_eos_rCanon EOS R

Pros: Image quality, dynamic range, autofocus

Cons: Ergonomics, lack of second memory slot, sensor not stabilized.

Opinion: After about two months of use I make the comparison with the previous camera, Panasonic G9, for the benefit, I hope, of those who are thinking of making the transition from an advanced micro 4/3 to this FF. I say right away that the EOS R comes out defeated for a lot of things: ergonomics, understood above all as the number and arrangement of the buttons, lack of the joystick, absurd forced ignition with the left hand, absence of the physical button to change AF mode; on the function side, the lack of the double slot, the sensor not stabilized, and I leave out the differences on the video side because personally they have a marginal importance, but even here there is an abyss. The G9 is, in all respects, a flagship that fears no comparison with any camera in terms of ergonomics and functions, an enormous versatility that justifies its volume and weight. So I made a sensational leap backwards? Yes, for almost everything. After that, once I have become familiar with at least the basic functions necessary for me, I look at the final product of the EOS R, which is the substance: the files. And here the music changes, The EOS R shows warm and three-dimensional 30M RAW, that typical Canon color that I have always loved and admired to canonists. A fine but not hyper-sharp detail, very nice for portraits. Then an excellent AF management, even if less functionally evolved than the G9; a dynamic range that before I could only dream of, testifying to the fact that with the FF you can have a high quality even if you make mistakes, within certain limits. The micro 4/3, as we know, is much less forgiving, so it remains a formidable gym But after 10 years I felt the need to change, without regret.

olympus_m45Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8

Pros: Value for money

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: After about a month of use, I also add a review to those already present, and with which I fully agree, only because I mount the lens on a Panasonic machine body and sometimes, in the forums, I notice the skepticism of some in adopting optics of different brand from the machine body, even if they belong to the same system. I can say that this lens mounted on a Panasonic GX9, retains all its excellent qualities. I took it on a trip together with the Panaleica 15mm f1.7, and it did not disfigure at all, despite costing half. In fact, at f1.8 it also has sharper panaleic ness in the same opening. In the micro 4/3 system there are several alternatives of higher quality, but none can boast the same lightness, and the same value for money. I love travel photography, and I thought I could do it all with a 30mm equivalent. Then I took this Zuiko to try my hand at the portrait, but I found that an equivalent 90mm, around the streets, can be beautiful.

panasonic_gx9Panasonic GX9

Pros: Auto Focus, stabilization, ISO seal, dynamic range, burst speed.

Cons: Cozy little viewfinder for the eye, no microphone input

Opinion: She was underestimated by the critics, believing her the heir to the GX8, also blamed for an exaggerated launch price. In fact it is an upgrade of the GX80, and with the current price, revised and corrected to the downside, rightly adapts to the best competition in relation to the quality. High quality, for a street car that wants a fixed bright, like the 15mm F 1.7. I mount the 17mm 1.8 Zuiko, which makes his figure. A little anonymous aesthetics, is not very small, but it is in a purse and always comes out with me, managing not to betray the true nature of micro 4/3 as, instead, often happens to high-end sisters. Excellent also in the video, which comes up to 4k, where the absence of a socket for external microphone is as pleasing as the sound of the nails on the blackboard. The autofocus, for me that I come from an Olympus WCO M10 first Way (How beautiful it was!), is lightning-fast even with little light, and not bad even in tracking. Unpleasant the absence of a charger supplied, you will repress with a few euros buying battery plus charger (there is also cigarette lighter connection) Patona. Promoted!

olympus_mzuiko_17_f1-8Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8

Pros: versatility, depth of field, size

Cons: No lens hood

Opinion: Impressions after two weeks of use, comparing with another fixed lens already in my possession: Panasonic 25 mm f 1.7. I add my humble opinion precisely because these days I'm comparing two optics on which you can find yourself indecisive to buy, although clearly different, a 35 mm and a 50 mm equivalent, but both quite handyman to create doubts about choosing When you search for the practicality of a fixed lens always leave mounted. So I find the Panasonic 25 mm premium optics for brightness, sharpness and colors, definitely superior to Zuiko 17, but sometimes too long to use street, in the sense that in tight spaces and/or crowded I can't back away enough to compose the picture. This prompted me to buy the zuiko 17 mm 1.8, which loses much comparison to brightness and contrast (even disappointing in bright environments, where for clarity prevails only slightly on the "poor" 14 42 EZ from kit), but regaining a lot of ground, and won, in confined spaces (obvious) and in greater depth of field at constant aperture, which allows me to set wider apertures. Also, having the distance scale, allows me to experiment successfully Hyperfocal technique, whereby at f 5.6 I have everything in focus from 3 meters.

panasonic_25_f1-7Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 ASPH

Pros: Lightweight, clear, versatile, economical

Cons: plastic, but not fragile

Opinion: It 's my first fixed lens, and before photographing with this I had serious doubts about the goodness of the camera (olympus E M10). After the first shots I realized that I had not yet had an appropriate goal. Finally, the clear photos I've been looking for have arrived! But I must also emphasize another aspect of which we do not talk much, the quality of colors: beautiful, saturated, but faithful leaving the default color settings (at least for my car).

olympus_m40-150rOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R

Pros: great value for money, light weight.

Cons: he is not a handyman

Opinion: I say I'm a neophyte, so I turn these impressions above all to those who still have the kit with a 14 42. Coming from the kit kit (14-42 EZ), I found in 40 150 the natural completion of the focals, but also a great a qualitative increase in contrast, and a slight improvement in brightness at least in comparison with the "boundary" focal area, ie 40mm. I'm sorry I can not use it as a handyman, otherwise I would not take it anymore now. In the choice I also evaluated the 12 50, but it would not be a completion, and then whoever tried it both found it inferior to optical quality. The next choice will be a fixed quality (I thought at 25mm f1.7 Panalei) not to think anymore at 14 42 EZ.
