olympus_100-400isOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS

Pros: Focal ratio. Robustness. Minimum distance of maf. Weight and dimensions with respect to angle of view eq in ff. Adequate AF (with light. But so much without it is not very usable). Once you understand how to use it, you take home great images in practice. Used price (between 800-900eur). Multipliable (more theoretical than practical advantage)

Cons: Little contrast compared to pro lenses. Maybe that's why beyond a certain distance it gets worse. Zoom a bit hard. Less pleasant to use than other pro lenses. Stabilization. In the photographic field I have more consistent results and it seems better to me using only the ibis of the camera body

Opinion: I've been using this lens for almost a year now. The results are very very good up to 10 meters. The closer you are, the more satisfactory the yield. over 10 meters it gets a little worse in my opinion. In general, there is a little less contrast than pro lenses, which requires a little more careful post production. In good light conditions, however, the situation improves. My sample has a better yield at 400mm than at 300mm. AF is quite fast

panasonic_g80_g85Panasonic G80 / G81 / G85

Pros: Perfect size. Light. Tropical. Good viewfinder. Very good stabilizer. Very good sensor performance

Cons: Af not a lightning bolt but still decent. RAW images on poorly defined displays (absurd this thing). You have to shoot in RAW +JPEG to see them sharp. Keys a bit flush with the body

Opinion: If it had an afc like the oly em1 MK2 it could be my ultimate machine. To this day, I still find it with perfect ergonomics. Pleasant to use. It's not a top-of-the-range but with the 12-60 and the 100-300ii it makes a system in line with the micro philosophy. If you want, you can also put the Leica 9mm 1.7 in it and I would say that it is a nice travel kit. All light, with a fair cost and with excellent yield.

olympus_omd_em1Olympus OM-D E-M1

Pros: Construction, stabilization, feeling, single af, viewfinder.

Cons: In some specimens the rear wheel loses a few clicks. To me she is "healed" by herself and now she is perfect

Opinion: The grandmother. It was so far ahead that it still has its reason today. With the latest firmware it really has everything you need. Of course the continuous af is unusable but in the saf with small cross it is very precise and fast. The sensor is a few years old but with topaz it also becomes usable at slightly higher sensitivities. They implemented the antishock on the first curtain, the electronic shot. The stabilization is still remarkable today. The wide viewfinder. Perfect size. Built properly. For me a great camera that offers that feature that we often forget is the pleasure of photographing. Lately I use it in conjunction with the 17mm 1.8 and it is very pleasant to use

olympus_40-150_f2-8Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro

Pros: See comment

Cons: -

Opinion: Construction, balance, compactness in relation to characteristics, weight, pleasure of use, does not extend zooming, constant brightness. Versatility with the two multipliers. Yes, even the hood, only a bit bulky but protective even when closed. Made smooth and also with both multipliers. With MC 14 it reaches over 400mm equivalent with f4 brightness. With the mc20 it loses some contrast at full aperture but already at f6.3 at 300mm (600 eq) it is very good. The af seems very good to me and also holds up well the duplicator. Very close focus is an added advantage. Honestly I find no faults, not even the price, at least in relative terms

panasonic_20_f1-7Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 ASPH

Pros: size, weight, sharpness, yield even at full aperture, pleasant blur, also price

Cons: af a noisy wire. for me the speed is enough

Opinion: optics to have. 40mm sharp angle of view even at full aperture. I really like the yield. tiny and also cheap. well built. some limits in autofocus but not relevant for me. For me the essence of the M43. Reduced maf distance that combined with the wide aperture makes it also excellent for close-up shots (flowers etc). For those who do not have wide angle needs pushed, it can be paired with a light canvas. I would find it perfect with the 45-175

panasonic_12-60oisPanasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS

Pros: weight, sharpness, tropicalized

Cons: Extreme angle vignetting

Opinion: versatile optics. Brightness is a feature for which it is not a defect. Quite sharp at all focal lengths, well built, slightly tropicalized. Excellent minimum focusing distance both in wide angle and in tele. Also good for close up. as defects I found an annoying vignetting in certain conditions (clear sky or uniform colors) in the extreme corners

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

Pros: Price, full aperture yield at all focal lengths, weight, overall dimensions

Cons: Materials, bayonet, I do not know how long af and diaphragm motor will last

Opinion: Once the fetishist part of the photograph has been removed, its merits are appreciated. It is dapperutto. You don't have the anxiety to ruin it. It is very light and therefore as canvases, to avoid micro-shake and shock shutter, it needs a minimum of anti-shock type attention on the first curtain or electronic shot. Here perhaps to find the hair in the egg the minimum distance of maf could have been less. What can I say. Advised

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

Pros: Cheap, all in all well built. Silent Af

Cons: Open focus shift between f2 and f5.6 with peak at f4

Opinion: Affixed to the lumix 20 after a few tests I kept the lumix 20. In the resolution of small details (conferring them on the same subject on equal terms) I found it clearly inferior to the pancake. I think it depends on the focus shift that makes this lens from f2 to f5.6. At f4 you can quite notice the drop in sharpness. I used it on pana g80

olympus_m75-300_v2Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II

Pros: Weight - Overall dimensions - Yield also at TA at all focal lengths - well built

Cons: Not tropicalized, a little delicate the knurling of the rings

Opinion: Used for years. Sometimes not understood. We must take our hand. I use it with the em1 mk1. Essential to use it with electronic shutter. with the stabilizer of the machine you shoot without micromosso paying attention to absurd times (1/30s-1/40s) on static subjects with a shrewdness that I discovered unfortunately after some time. At first I was not satisfied and I found that it kneaded the details at 300mm (the tests I do from home on the writings under the license plates of parked cars that are relentless to highlight micro-bump, contrast and definition) in comparison to zd50-200 + ec14 and panasonic 100-300. then one day I tried to remove the uv filter fil (a slim reporter) and boom. perfect details. Equivalent to the yield of pana 100-300. For me perhaps even slightly better as a microcontrasto. So those who do not find it sharp try with electronic shooting, obviously trying to be as firm and without filter as possible.
