I was shooting a portrait in a dimly lit environment, I instinctively set my ISO to 1600, with the lens being set to wide open F1. Panasonic’s IBIS isn’t as good as Olympus yet, but its recent bodies, like the Panasonic G9 have shown marked improvement and are about 90% as good as Olympus right now. As I said above the lens is larger than most Micro 4/3 lenses but I found it more pleasant to hold and use than the even larger and more expensive Panasonic 12-35 Zoom.

Any photo enthusiast interested or specialised in taking portraits and indoor shots will certainly reap the benefits of this high-performance prime lens. The company, the history, the passion and dedication all show and they seem to know what they are doing, especially lately.The Olympus 61F Lens Hood is an all-metal, screw-in type that will definitely protect the front glass and minimize flare.

I find that it’s a great walk around lens – paired with a wider lens, of course – for getting close to sunsets, and shooting little details off of buildings. I am looking at getting into portraits and so I want to be able to snap face shots and full body shots in pretty confined spaces, I wondered how this would measure up being such a long 35mm equivalent?

I used to shoot pics for cinema posters (to be seen from about 10 feet away) and an original Sony Mavica MVC-FD7 640×480 pixels floppy-disc camera was good enough for that! Although superficial in nature, I love putting the 75mm on my E-M10 body when I’m shooting photos of the camera body and lens combination. Another site is testing one now and first impression is that it may be the best in class of mirrorless cameras. My niece ran around the house and in the outdoors during some of the warmest March weather in recent history. For isolating items from their backgrounds – at closer distances than you’d use a 150mm/300mm for – the Panny 20mm f1.

aperture and compare it with my OM-D +75mm and i found the result from M 4/3 is much more pleasing,.M.Zuiko PW EX Micro Four Thirds Lens features is an extra-bright, full-metal bodied prime lens that is designed to meet the needs of portrait, sport and low light photographers. And with a few other cameras, to create some comparison shots which I’ll send to Steve to show here. Again, Olympus’ Pro lenses have a perfect amount of friction for controlling their manual focus rings and this friction has been left out of the 75mm. love these lenses but the future is mirrorless and the OM-D with the Olympus and Panasonic primes are giving me what I need in a form factor that allows me to take the whole kit anywhere in a small carry bag. If you’re actually looking for a 50-150mm lens – which would behave on micro4/3 like a 100-300mm does on 35mm format – then the Olympus 40-150mm behaves like a full-frame 80-300mm lens .

Even when you are already at a shooting distance (normally a few meters away, could be even 5 meters or more away depending on how much you want to fit into the frame), you are still considerably far from your subject. clip flash, flexible tripod, lenspen, Cokin A holder with two rings, 4 Kood filters and i’m fully satisfied in almost every situation, lightweight and versatile system. Great stabilisation, so you can use slower shutter speeds with long, or small-aperture, lenses, compared with the minimum shutter speeds you’d need to use with bigger “full-frame” SLRs. The 75mm focal length is an awkwardly long one in the Micro 4/3 system and it can present some difficulty as a prime lens.The OM-D is putting out amazing stuff and the conversation around it’s virtues as a quality tool are pointless – period!
