OM System M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO II Pros: All Cons: Nothing, maybe a little bit the price Opinion: This lens, I think is the best lens not only of the micro 4/3 but in general that I have ever had the pleasure of using. From the constructive quality, to the optical performance on ALL focal lengths even at TA. Having a lens of the kind spurs you to photograph every time as if it were the first. Really if you want to find a fault with it, it is that afterwards it is difficult to detach it from the camera, even for excellent fixed lenses. Too bad the price, maybe on the used you can get good deals now, even on the first version. sent on 16 Gennaio 2026 |

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Pros: VALUE FOR MONEY, sharpness even at TA, good blur, really small size Cons: Difficulty in finding a decent lens hood, sometimes the ring for manual focus throws a tantrum Opinion: There have already been many words of praise on this lens, and there is not much more to add than what is written in the pros and cons, I think it is the best value for money lens ever. Having this yield at this price is really rare on any system, even more beautiful knowing the size of this lens. If you have a micro 4/3 machine and not this lens makes no sense. sent on 16 Gennaio 2026 |

Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN C Pros: Sharpness also TA, blur rendering, focusing speed (SU M4/3) Cons: None Opinion: Simply one of the best, if not the best lens for micro 4/3 as far as value for money is concerned. I also had the 75 1.8 but I find this lens much more versatile and also sharper. Phenomenal, coupled with a panaleica 25mm 1.4 and a panaleica 15mm 1.7 you have everything you could want on a micro 4/3 body as far as fixed and if you want to stay compact. sent on 16 Gennaio 2026 |

OM System OM-5 Pros: Pleasure of use, lightness, excellent stabilization, run-in image quality, ISO resistance up to 3200 ISO, optical park width, exceptional computational functions, good autofocus, tropicalization Cons: A bit plasticky but not badly built, too bad the loss of the olympus logo Opinion: I loved the Olympus em5 MkIII and in the same way I love this camera and I have to say that for the genre of photography I shoot, the computational functions gave me a great desire to experiment more, such as live nd, and to try to print larger (more than an a2) without worry thanks to the high resolution freehand function and now I can't wait to try the sky af! In summary, the camera has all the merits of the em5 mkIII therefore the longest-lived sensor in the world micro 4/3 in its pros and cons, so excellent colors, micro contrast, more than good autofocus and an iso resistance that is not the best but very usable up to 3200 iso even more using the denoise functions present on the various post production software. So I recommend it if you want a camera that really wants to go out and shoot, thanks to its compactness, crazy stabilization, construction that although a little plasticky is really well designed to be pleasant to use, immense optics, image quality that can hardly disappoint, tropicalization of very high levels that makes you always be calm and these computational functions that I really find a big push to do something different. 9.5/10 sent on 16 Gennaio 2026 |

Olympus OM-D E-M5 III Pros: Compactness, Image quality, stabilization, robustness, good dynamic range considering the sensor, ISO up to 4000 ISO acceptance and containable in post, optical park Cons: A bit plasticky, battery of 6 politicians, Iso above 6400, the menu (if you are not used to it) Opinion: Taken a few years ago to replace the E-M5 Mark II, the leap in quality of the sensor from 16mpx to this is quite appreciable and noticeable especially in the fine detail which is really excellent considering the modest 20.4mpx. The build quality gives a sense of excellent robustness despite the use of polycarbonate and not metal, which I would have preferred as in the previous version. On shadow recovery, considering that we are talking about an M4/3 sensor, it behaves more than well but obviously you have to be careful with exposure and ISO. The latter are also decently manageable up to 3200 almost on a par with an Apsc, in some conditions even 4000 iso especially considering the new noise reduction functions of some software such as lightroom. A 6400 is really to be used only in extreme cases, above pretend they don't exist. It helps a lot to manage these factors to have a large lens park with very generous apertures at unthinkable costs (I recommend, try the sigma 56 1.4) and the stabilization on the sensor that made me shoot up to 1 second handheld. Of course, it would be as nice as for the later model, to have some more effective computational functions, such as Freehand High Resolution and Live ND. That said, the battery is only just enough, but just take a couple more and you're good to go. I think it is, net of the polycarbonate construction, one of the most successful and balanced models ever, as far as the Micro 4/3 philosophy is concerned: a well-made compact body, tropicalized, very customizable, light with fantastic optics to take anywhere that really offers an image quality that even today, although an outdated sensor, still says its own very clearly.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 III Pros: QUALITY PRICE REPORT, Not a considerably "entry level", improved and intuitive menu, lightweight, handy, aesthetics in general, key function menu key, 5-axis stabilization, build quality, even yield up to 6400, color rendering, Autofocus from 121pt. Cons: Ineffective stabilization in free-time evening shots with shutter speeds of less than 1/15, a bit noisy in these latest conditions, battery a bit short but easily solvable with backup batteries. Opinion: I preferred m10 mkIII instead of Em-5 mkII after an initial indecision. I believe that apart from some features of the em5 (high-res, Tropicalization) that I do not care much about, the m10 mkIII despite being inserted in the "entry-level" band does not act at all as such, also because in the actual the sensor is the same, but slightly larger for the m10 (m10 13x17,4 vs em5 13x17,3), 5-axis stabilization is identical, as well as megapixels, even here slightly in favor of m10 16.1 vs 16. La rendering of colors is exceptional as well as sharpness. Excellent photo mode (AP) features. Unfortunately for now I was able to test the m10 only with the kit lenses 14-42 IIR f3.5-5.6 and 40-150 R f4-5.6, which are not bad with good lighting but practically unusable in free hand in light conditions poor and in the evening, but this one already knows well before buying, although I expected something more. THEStabilization with 5 axes per shot (not in all situations) and video is incredible, certainly not "entry level". Highly recommended. sent on 24 Ottobre 2017 |
