They are “different” – the Fuji has something about it with the IQ that is special but then again there are some RAW issues when using Adobe converters. The company, the history, the passion and dedication all show and they seem to know what they are doing, especially lately. Moreover, lengthier telephoto lenses are able to provide incredible background blur and subject isolation even at slower apertures.

lens may not be good enough for macro shooting, or have high magnification, but a simple close up shot like this can be achieved. This is an absurd statement (I’m sorry to say so) because what matters is not shooting at 12500 Iso with skins that look like plastic but the overall quality of the pictures. They started with the super fun PEN EP-1, then EP-2, then E-P3 and when they released the OM-D E-M5 they changed the M4/3 game more than Panasonic has ever done.

is a handful of a lens, at least when compared to many other Micro Four Thirds offerings, but it is actually quite compact for a fast telephoto lens. I had a play with a friends kit,he has the 12,45 and the 75 and I must say its a nice combination,good image quality,good auto focus and as a walk around fun kit I am definately considering it. Its just that I’ll be missing the range between 90mm and 200mm which i like when I’m shooting my Canon 70-200mm 2.

I absolutely love the pictures it gives me, I never had as much pleasure shooting a camera for a long time and would not trade it for any APS-C out there. Wonderful image quality, lovely camera but this: “and the OM-D as a tool that can do anything the big guys can do” is of course utter nonsense.I prefer, though, the versatility of the Oly 14-150mm zoom, because with just two lenses (Panny 7-14mm, Oly 14-150mm), everything’s covered from the equivalent – in 35mm full-frame terms – of ultra-wide 14mm to ultra-long 300mm .

It has a somewhat short focus throw and some of the images on this page were shot using manual focus, some auto focus. The other day, I was reading your review about the Sony RX1 (a very exciting product, indeed) and you had to say: “I have much more respect for Sony than I do Canon or Nikon who are doing NOTHING revolutionary”. 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. If you’re looking for the ultimate m43 portrait line-up, you an actually get this lens in a special edition “portrait bundle” with the Olympus 45mm f/1. prime lenses, then you should seriously take a look at the Olympus Portrait Lens kit where they bundle the Olympus 45mm f/1.I’ve heard others say that printing this large with the OM-D wouldn’t be an issue, due to the advanced sensor (not to mention the very high-quality optics of Olympus (and Panasonic for that matter)! There is no perfect camera for every situation and while the classic dslrs are “at the moment” still superior in sports photography the OM-D makes them look like dinosaurs in some other situations. I remember pulling the lens out of its box in my car around Christmas time and trying to focus on the passenger side rearview mirror.

It takes longer to take on and off than your usual hood, but it feels very retro, and adds to the charm.

It sits at the top of Olympus’ lens pyramid for M4/3, together with the 12/2 – I enjoy using this lens so much, that even when I started to move away from my Olympus system and to shoot more with Fujifilm and Sony cameras, this lens still found a place in my bag because having a small m43 camera plus this lens would still be smaller and lighter than a dedicated telephoto for my other systems. Advantage of using a long lens, you can shoot a subject from far away, yet having the subject reasonably close in your frame.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. This telephoto lens gives the equivalent focal length of 150mm (micro four thirds is a 2x crop) in the 35mm format. At the end of the day I can carry a very capable camera body with four or five excellent primes in a small bag that wouldn’t even fit a full frame DSLR body with one prime alone. The front element is 58mm in diameter if you’re interested in adding polarizers or ND filters to your collection. I shoot mostly “full-frame” film, and I have learned from experience that shooting portraits wide open can easily ruin your shots because of the extreme shallow depth of field.
