EPM2 with kit lens, please help
Re: EPM2 with kit lens, please help
I've thought about it and really the only advantage the LX7 has in my kit is for long exposures where you want to capture absolutely everything. At F/1.4 if you do long exposure calculations it will resolve a long exposure about twice as quickly as my 12mm lens at F/2 meaning I could resolve an image with less of an effect from star trails. There is no wide angle lens for Micro Four Thirds that is quite as fast.
This is one instance where the amount of light being let in is really irrelevant and where pure lens speed counts to have your image output as quickly as possible and on a 30 second exposure it lets in a ridiculous amount of light while capturing the whole frame to infinity at F/1.4
If you consider that an advantage then keep your LX7, because a large sensor camera simply cannot do this.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
