I have the trio of Sigma primes (19mm, 30mm & 60mm), which I use quite often, but have been thinking of getting a faster prime lens for my E-P5 (they are fine for my E-P2 as that is used only in daylight). I have been thinking about the Olympus 25mm f1.8 or 17mm f1.8, or the Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.4 or 15mm f1.8. Pros and cons of each would be nice to hear. I tend to use my 12-32 Panasonic mostly for street shots, but would like something for interiors and lower light situations....
Can you define 'for interiors and low light situations.' These faster primes come with diffierent focal lengths and therefor it's important to know what you shot indoor and outdoor in low light. Also which prime do you use more and what do you shot?
When I use the primes from Sigma it depends, though I usually use the 30mm or more often the 19mm for outdoor shots. Indoors I like to shoot people at gatherings, such as when we have some holidays, or trade shows such as the International Motorcycle Show, which I attend every year. I do not like to use flash much, though I have the FL-300R. I am leaning towards the 25mm f1.4 due to the speed advantage, just not sure it is the right focal length, which is why the 15mm and 17mm are interesting me...

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!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
