The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Panasonic Lumix 42.5mm f/1.7 OIS Pros: Construction, dimensions, complete sharpness from angle to angle already at full aperture, hood supplied, double stabilization on Panasonic bodies Cons: the price relegates it to being little purchased and consequently not widespread in the m43 world compared to its cousin Olympus, despite being, compared to the latter superior in everything Opinion: sent on July 07, 2022 |
 | Panasonic GX80 / GX85 Pros: Robust, function keys, ease of use, monitor Cons: Viewfinder, battery Opinion: Small tank, although not tropicalized, it resists well to sand and small splashes of water. Manageability is its greatest value: with the thumb and index finger of the right hand you can do everything, even with one hand (for those who have a child in their arms as has happened to me several times, you can turn on and make a "point and shoot" on the fly in a second). Taken by a photographer who "did not find crunchiness in the files" using the 12-32 pancakes, mounted the 12-45 or the 12-60PL the crunchiness comes out of it. Like all small m43, the best gives it with the fixed, both the 1.4 (Sigma, PL or Zuiko) and the 1.7 (15 or 25mm). It is definitely a travel camera and focused above all on photography, even if the video side makes excellent 4k slightly cropped (had they put 150 or 180fps it would have been exaggerated but would have made other Lumix cameras useless) given the great stabilization. Negative sides certainly are the viewfinder (too small and on which you can not mount an additional eyepiece as on gx9, which for those who wear glasses helps a lot) and the battery with which you make just over 200 shots (does not keep the day, so get at least 1 or 2 more batteries). Machine still valid and contemporary in 2022 despite being released 6 years ago: the 16mpx are enough for the vast majority of people. It recharges in the room and this is something that today can only be positive since even a single power bank is enough and in an hour the car is charged. Flash not powerful but very useful in case of need especially indoors, and particularity can be oriented upwards with a finger. If set properly, it also produces excellent jpg ready to be published or printed. Sold to test the Olympus m10 mkii. Regretting the choice. Still recommended today. sent on June 01, 2022 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G X 35-100mm f/2.8 Pros: Compact size, does not stretch, balanced weight, colors, internal stabilization Cons: Lack of key or other mode to switch from AF to MF, some parts of the barrel are plastic Opinion: Among the Pro lenses in my kit (Zuiko and PanaLeica that I have or have owned) this is the best. Weight, size, colors. The blur is also excellent. Too bad it doesn't have a button on the barrel like the PanaLeica 12-60, or an alternative mode like the Zuiko 12-40, to switch from AF to MF without having to enter the camera settings. It is a half-all-rounder, ranging from the portrait set to the medium canvases, only the wide part is missing. It is also great for street if you are looking for details in the city and great for portraits. I took this first version because found on offer, and from the various reviews, almost nothing changes from the mkii (the latter seems to have an extra degree of tropicalization) if not the color (the mkii is undoubtedly more appealing than the first version). Great for family trips like Playground, or hiking in the mountains where you do not need to do birdlife and do not need mm more. If they made a 35-150mm with these qualities and the same dimensions (even if a little bigger) I don't think I would change it, because for me this focal range is perfect in this lens. For more mm I would rely on lenses designed for specific uses such as the 100-300 or the 100-400. It is certainly among the objectives considered "essence of micro 4/3". sent on November 27, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Pros: Small, compact, beautiful to close Cons: When it stretches, it becomes a little "ungainly", loss of detail in the corners Opinion: Optics from my Pro point of view if it had been metal and tropicalized. Aesthetically I don't mind when it's closed, but it actually looks ugly when it opens and stretches. Opening system also this not very pleasant. Instead, I confirm the goodness of the lens from an optical point of view: crisp and with soft and pleasant colors, except in the corners where it loses detail at f4.0. On the fact that it is f4.0-5.6 I do not see it on my part as a negative aspect as in my opinion its predominant use is for daytime landscapes. It doesn't come cheap even for used, and honestly for a single stop of gain compared to more famous, expensive and much heavier wide angles, I prefer this. I also hope for a "II" version maybe in metal, tropicalized and without the opening system. sent on March 05, 2021 |
 | Panasonic Leica DG 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 ASPH OIS Pros: Sharpness, build quality, color tones. Balanced focal excursion from wide angle to medium canvas, which allows quality to all focal points, from 12 to 60. Cons: On compact rooms in the gx series, the weight is felt (I suppose even on the small Olympus M10 and M5 home). If it had been a little smaller and lighter it would have been perfect. It's f2.8 only at 12mm. Opinion: Taken to replace the 12-32 kit, the first thing you notice right away is the build quality. Shooting you appreciate everything else. The sharpness and "crunchiness" of the photos stand out immediately. The fact that zommando moves quickly from f2.8 to f3.5 is actually a weak spot that immediately puts the buyer's question about whether to buy this or the Zuiko 12-40 f2.8. The extra stop in itself is not a big problem and does not lose the quality, also because the blurry is pleasant even at 60mm, but... sent on September 11, 2020 |
