Thanks Lindsey. Well that's unfortunate. I was getting quite excited about this lens, examining the tests and sample shots on ephotozine, it looks to be both very sharp edge to edge and with...
-
Right, it's only loud when fully enabled (i.e. I have it enable on half press). Still, I'm curious if the 14-140 is louder than the EM5 (both when it's not enabled, and when it is). You're...

Could the blurring be due to the new Auto IS? Andy stated they're well aware of shutter shock, and this isn't it (i.e. putting the camera on a tripod greatly reduced the negative effect). I was...

I was just about to order this lens, along with the GX7, to replace my E-M5. The lens is the reason I would switch from an Olympus body to a Panasonic (since I already have the 7-14,14,25mm...
-
I assume you purchased the 14-140 from Panasonic directly?
I'm contemplating the same kit (more or less). Actually, I'm hoping to change from the E-M5 to either the E-P5 or GX7. The only thing...
-
Well I wondered about this. Decades ago, there used to be variance in retailers' prices. I remember B&H, Adorama, etc., being much cheaper than in store prices (and there was a ton of other New...
-
Well, I did go down this route, for the exact same reasons + some additional ones. I bought a new GF5 on eBay in the Spring with the 14-42PZ lens and added the 14mm lens. It was really...
-
The merits of the tilting built in EVS on the GX7 can be debated left and right, but I don't quite get why the new VF-4 for the E-P5, also tilts:
- VF2 and VF3 tilted because the previous E-Px...
-
Ha, that's an intriguing idea. I was trying to figure out the same, and could only conclude that the sensor mounting mechanism would allow for a marginally thinner body. They could have also made...
-
Regardless, the 2nd shot looks nice. I said I'm really impressed with the 17mm as well. Strangely, the ones I like least in this series are the ones shot with the 75mm.
-
OK so maybe I do need the 45mm lens.
Not sure how much worse, if at all, the E-M5 would have done, but the shots are a great representation of the great glass that's available. I guess he didn't...
-
I wasn't a pixel peeper either. In fact, the only test shots I did prior to getting into m4/3 (shooting regular 4/3) was when I evaluted the merits of the 14-50mm leica zoom vs. the Oly 14-42 kit...
-
I gave it a go with the +1 sharpening and f8. I've done multiple apertures before for at 17mm and 25mm, but not 20mm. At 25mm, f8 is minimally better. Wouldn't you know it, at 20mm it's a lot...

Thanks - interesting article for sure.
-
Thanks, I'll try the +1 sharpening. I have it set -1 actually, and noise reduction off (as per dpreview guidance). At -1 the sensor is plenty sharp with the prime lenses for sure, but I'll see...
-
Thanks Frank - actually, at first I thought you had fantastic copy - but I failed to zoom in to 100%. I now see that yours is probably about the same, as the best I could do with mine.
So I did...
-
Thanks, and yes I know the background of the lens. I was one of the 1st to get it (with the OMD kit) in the US. Quick tests at the time reassured me that it's OK. I should have been more...
-
Reading both the article, and the post, I now feel quite insecure. I liked the GF5 in brown, but jumped on a deal on a black one - phew.., disaster averted. I didn't recall Panasonic advertising...
-
In debating merits of the E-M1 + 12-40mm, I re-assessed what I've got: E-M5 + 12-50mm, in particular the 12-50mm lens. In principle, I like the idea of a small, light, internal zooming, weather...
-
This lens looks terrific. I just wish it was offered as camera kit in the US. I think the price for it standalone is too high.
