![]() | Samyang 135mm f/2 ED UMC Pros: Although it has been designed for FF, it is so sharp as to guarantee an excellent performance even on APS-C and M4/3, in fact it is also available with the latter connection. Very good at TA, great at 2.4, excellent at 2.8. Closing more only serves for greater depth of field. On the M4/3 only the central part of the lenses is used, the best one, so the center / edges yield is uniform and the blurred light points remain regular spheres even at the edges and do not become ovals or as on many zooms of pointed ovals not very aesthetic. Excellent blurred. Cons: Opinion: I waited for years for Pana or Oly to design a fixed lens between 100-135 mm f / 2 to be used in indoor events where light is never enough especially for M4 / 3 sensors. The old 35-100 f/2 of Oly was too heavy a lens as well as expensive to be able to use it freehand for hours. Purchased new 2 years ago at 460 euros during a Samyang promo, I think it has an excellent quality / price ratio. sent on January 19, 2023 |
![]() | Panasonic G9 Pros: Excellent quality construction, sensor and top processor for M4/3, many dedicated keys, excellent viewfinder, very sensitive and immediate shot, perfect for those who do naturalistic photography, shot in High Res of excellent quality, the 225 focus points guarantee greater accuracy when using automatic focus on the eye in portraits. Cons: at first I thought it was exaggerated in size for M4/3, but I had to think again about the excellent handling. Superior display completely useless when without taking the eye off the viewfinder you have all the information available (perhaps inserted to attract those who come from the SLR world ?). The joistick does not move diagonally, but only vertically and horizontally. Opinion: I have waited almost a year and many photos to give her a complete judgment, but to date it is definitely the M4/3 with the best value for money. My misgivings at the beginning about size and weight dissolved in use, especially shooting freehand with the 100-400 Pana proved perfect. As already written for the GX9, this Panasonic sensor and processor is significantly better than the one installed on the G7 and GH4 (which had disappointed me) both as sharpness in the finer details and dynamic range. The RAWs are very malleable and if they appear noisier than those of the EM5 II, they allow in the post an excellent noise reduction without penalizing the finer details. Always excellent the range of colors and shades that Pana manages to highlight in the images, probably with a basic contrast and a saturation not too pushed. If the High Res of the EM5 II had impressed me pleasantly, on the G9 it reaches a higher quality without ever showing artifacts even in the most minute details. Great stabilization, but still slightly less than the exceptional stabilization of the Oly. For me the G9 is the definitive confirmation that with the M 4/3 you can produce images of excellent quality whatever the photographic theme, who denies it is because it does not know how to photograph. sent on June 04, 2020 |
![]() | 7artisans 7.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye Pros: Great value, solid construction, good flare resistance. Cons: Color aberration at the edges, but on M4/3 sensor is less intrusive for cropping. Diaphragms' ghiera frees, moves easily and should often be controlled. Opinion: The use of a fisheye is always justified and limited to a few situations, so a low expense on a good quality perspective is advisable. This 7arts does not regret the little money spent ensuring a more than good performance with just a little chromatic aberration at the edges. With this in mind, manual focus is by no means limiting. sent on May 23, 2020 |
![]() | Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN C Pros: I can only confirm the qualities reported by those who preceded me: Brightness, sharpness at full aperture, bokeh, compactness despite being designed to cover the APS-C. Excellent Value for money Cons: I Haven't found any yet. Opinion: Used on M4/3, both Pana and Oly, it proved the proper focal length for portraits and half busts even in interiors, an excellent rendition even at full aperture and an excellent fuzzy. As Andrea has already said, the best tele from Portrait as quality/price on this sensor. An Optics that suggests the quality that Sigma could produce with exclusive optical projects for the M4/3, but of course for containment costs the sales numbers must be conspicuous and also cover the APS-C. In any case a strat-recommended lens. sent on April 09, 2019 |
![]() | Panasonic GX9 Pros: Excellent sharpness even in the finer details, very fast in single focus even with very little light and not very bright optics (pana 100-400), better dynamic range than the previous sensor. Cons: Small viewfinder (especially for those who like me use glasses) and mediocre quality. The High Res is missing. Opinion: With the G7 and the Panasonic GH4 pointed too much on the 4k video, but in the single photos The sensor and the processor were a step below the competition. With the latter processor and 20 MP sensor, Panasonic has finally accomplished not one but two steps forward reporting to the level of competition. The most minute details are very well defined and not confused as with the previous sensor. The dynamic range is improved and the focus is rapid and precise even with little light (the Achilles heel of the OLY EM5 II and that convinced me in the purchase of this machine) and allows to work very well with the Pana 100-400 at the maximum focal even at dawn in Cloudy and dark days. The GX9 never has any problem in the evening during my photos of the reflections, always fast and without hesitation the focus, while with the EM5 II I often find myself making more attempts to have the correct focus. The continuous focus with the smaller animals is still not up to the best reflex, but with the people on the move, setting the focus on the faces, is quick and accurate. A feature of which we talk little but that in Panasonic is great is the automatic white balance that always manages to reduce or completely eliminate the dominant color even by shooting with only artificial lights, the white is always perfect obviously with Correct exposure. A machine that can be used for almost all the photographic genres, with an excellent value for money. sent on November 30, 2018 |
![]() | Panasonic Leica 100-400mm f/4.0-6.3 ASPH OIS Pros: Excellent blurred, considering that it is a 20-lens zoom lens. Probably the Leica experience on this parameter has counted a lot. Engine very fast and very quiet even on Olympus (the 100-300 Pana on Oly is noisy). Very effective stabilization, you can work freehand with very slow times for these focal canvases. Very robust and well finished construction. Excellent portability for an excellent use also freehand. rn Cons: The resolution at full aperture and at all focal lengths at 100-300 Pana is slightly lower. Considering the cost I expected more. At 400 mm at full aperture the yield is a bit 'soft, closing even at 7.1 see the improvement.rn Opinion: The versatility of a zoom lens that is so extensive (200-800 equivalents) is remarkable in nature photography from stalking where the subjects can present themselves at different distances. It is more useful for shooting outdoor events such as parades, historical re-enactments, sporting events, etc ... where it is not possible to freely approach the subjects to be filmed. The ability to capture portraits even from a distance without the subjects are aware of and stiffen in the pose, is a precious feature that combined with the softness of the blurred, allows you to get excellent results in this kind of images.rn sent on March 08, 2017 |
![]() | Panasonic G7 Pros: Excellent focusing speed, good tracking, excellent sensitivity in low lights that always guarantees a precise focus. Many function keys that allow you to change many parameters without having to enter the menu or disconnect the 'eye from the viewfinder. Comparing it to the Oly EM5 II is superior in almost all functional characteristics and certainly much better suited in the photo hunting with long tele. Excellent qualities video.rn Cons: The yield of the sensor is not all 'height of the functional characteristics. The micro detail that can express in photographs to the animals is well below the micro detail of Oly EM5 II, but what disappointed me the most is that it is much lower (up to ISO 400-500) to the fine detail of Pana GH2, for sale by the end of 2010, 5 years vecchia.rn Opinion: A very unbalanced machine, with excellent functional quality, suitable for amateur photographers demanding, but that is not able to express all the qualities of the M 4/3 because of a mediocre sensor. On the contrary, for video enthusiasts, considering the price and excellent video quality is definitely the best choice, unless you have as priority a sealed machine for the weather. rn sent on January 12, 2017 |
![]() | Olympus OM-D E-M5 II Pros: Excellent dynamic range, excellent stabilization sensor, resilient noise even at high ISO, the jpeg excellent machine for those who do not want to bother with the PP just hit the 'exposure (advice to always work in the manual) and have already excellent image quality, excellent quality with High Resolution function (for STILL LIFE, the 'ARCHITECTURE and the landscape is truly a revolution), very useful shooting with electronic shutter with wildlife very suspicious. Cons: Slow and insensitive Nellla focus with low lights (much worse than the GH2), we hope for an improvement with the next firmware, poor ergonomics for the 'handle almost nonexistent, the board cable to the wrist that helps a lot and does not weigh, incredible disconnection viewfinder when you open the rear diplay beyond 90 degrees, an absurdity to be resolved with the next firmware. Too bad the reading spot of 'exposure can not follow the point af chosen, as is the Panasonic, so to have read and AF (spot) on the same point. The automatic white balance is not great as with the Panasonic, but it is better than many other brand. The limit of 300-350 shots with one battery charge is to be considered with the mechanical click, if you use the 'electronic shutter is easy to exceed 500 shots. Opinion: A machine that confirms that the 4/3 format is already more than sufficient to produce high quality images that can satisfy any requirement. Whereas the 'evolution of the sensors is continuously increasing, it will be formed in a net expansion to the significant reduction in size and weight of the optics (which most cameras) that allows you to easily carry an entire set of lenses from wide angle to super telephoto. sent on May 20, 2015 |
![]() | Panasonic Lumix FZ50 Pros: Excellent quality, and when 'released in 2005, in focal lengths from 80 to 300, he kept his head like sharpness to APS-C cameras with professional lenses. Great colors, bright, clean and without dominant. Double rings and practical tilting display. Cons: Do not use more than 800 iso, slow autofocus in low light, and of course it was impossible to take pictures in pursuit. Opinion: Owner of a Canon kit Analogue, in late 2005 seeing the photos of the FZ50 a colleague 's I bought and I was so impressed by the quality, sharpness, bright colors and clearly distinct, almost total absence of dominant (I still wonder dominant in many of the tremendous photographs taken with the best known brands), which are left with purchasing a Panasonic GH2 plus 3 zoom and after almost 4 years I still do not regret it and I am sure that even on 'autofocus tracking,' heel of Achilles mirrorless soon there will be no difference with the SLR. L 'only limitation that asks the 4/3 is not to make mistakes' s exposure, while the FF gives you more margin of' error and recovery in post. But if the 'exposure is correct, (with a little' of experience shooting in manual do not worry) images on 4/3 also produced with optical tele Panasonic inexpensive (100-300 / 4 to 5.6), do not nothing to regret the quality of the FF. sent on July 26, 2014 |
![]() | Panasonic Lumix G 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 OIS Pros: Being a 200-600 equivalent, which weighs 520 grams, stabilized, which costs a little more 'than 500 euro and with a yield more' than good at all focal lengths, and 'a' lens with a 'excellent quality / price ratio. Cons: A bit of vignetting at 300mm wide open (f / 5,6), some problem in the light. Opinion: For the cost, light weight, ease of use, is a 'optics which I highly recommend to anyone who owns a camera micro 4/3, particularly when shooting at close range, from 1.5 meters to 6.5 meters, can provide very sharp images, which does not disfigure the comparison of much more expensive lenses. It can safely be used in 5.6 because it is almost at its maximum optical performance, diaframmando more only increases the depth of field. sent on March 05, 2013 |
![]() | Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f/4 ASPH Pros: Excellent performance at all focal lengths, F / 4 and 5.6 it is at its best, no need for further diaphragm. The camera software (GH2) immediately corrects aberrations and distortion perform admirably in RAW. Lightweight, compact and very well built. Cons: Can not be mounted filters rear. Cost per gram very high! Opinion: An 'objective that requires a lot of satisfaction but which, like all super-wide-angle, a bit' of time to learn how to exploit it to the fullest. As focal available, from 14 to 28 equivalent, and 'able to meet all photographic situations requiring the' use of a wide angle. Definitely worth all the money it costs and does not regret the expense. sent on March 04, 2013 |
