I have the 45mm 1.8 as well, indeed it was the first lens I bought for m43 along with the 14.  It is beautiful certainly.  However funnily enough it hasn't been on the camera at all since I got the...

No they couldn't - which is exactly the point.  For the previous example, comparable framing to a PL25 shot at 5 feet, the distance to subject and DOFs are the following: P20: Distance 4 feet, DOF...

The PL25 is a very different lens to the Sigma 30.  At all comparable apertures it is a bit sharper, on the cusp of being noticable.  The results, according to the oft-repeated LensRentals tests,...

Very interesting testing, thanks ogremage.  Indeed based upon this evidence one could conceivably think of the Samyang as for example a 9mm rectilinear with extreme barrel distortion issues...

The sharpness doesn't just compensate in part - there's another thread on here where one of the members compared the Samyang defished, cropped to an equivalent 9mm field of view and upscaled,...

The flowers are alliums, otherwise known as ornamental onions. The seed heads dry out quite well for autumn interest too. Michael

Ah yes, unseated by the new dpreview editor again. Apologies! Michael

Again, the Samyang / Rokinon is a great little lens.  Arguably optically better than the 12mm as well as being much, much wider if that is what you are after.  If the effect is a bit too dramatic...

Lovely lens.  Here's one of mine:

I don't think you're doing anything wrong - the 7.5 is clearly sharper than the 9-18 as evidenced by your first two shots.  Your Samyang looks plenty sharp to me.  Regarding defishing, the edges...

Sorry Andy, that link doesn't seem to work? I get a "Page not found" error. Michael p.s. Ah, I see the hyperlink you have is to http://www.dpreview.com/forums/previews/olympus-pen-ep5/ whereas it...

Hmmm - this is probably mine. or at least that's my thinking today! Michael

And, if you can wait a little while, Panasonic's own 42.5 f/1.2 will be with us - see here. Michael

Afraid this isn't true.  Panasonic cameras correct CA from Panasonic lenses only, not from Olympus lenses. Michael

Ah, Wisley. Although how did you find it so quiet? I had the 7-14 but sold it, primarily due to its size and weight. I do keep wondering about the 9-18 though.

Fully agree, h3csc. What exactly were you disagreeing with on my post?

"An advantage of using the GH2's sensor is that the G6 is able to offer more comprehensive video functions than the G5."

The G5 also had the GH2 sensor, so any differences in video capabilities...

Well, the G5 had a silent shutter mode with full resolution so I expect the G6 will do. Haven't looked at the specs though yet.

I wonder if that method will improve my photography too!? Sometimes I'm sure a great sunset should be there but it doesn't seem to be!

Found it by trial and error! Seeing this thread made me try a few things - I thought turning the camera off and on again may work but it didn't, so I gave some other methods a shot and got...
