a look at Micro Four Thirds through my flickr "most faved" stats page

I was a bit amused when I noticed my most-faved photo on flickr was taken with a manual focus, Tokina 300mm reflex lens, through a fence:

Snow Owl, Lincoln Park Zoo. Olympus E-M1, Tokina 300mm Reflex

Camera and lens portability had a lot to do with the making of this photo. It was a casual trip to the local zoo with the family. Definitely not worthy of bringing a larger camera with a 600mm lens.

So, I looked through the remaining "most faved" and found a few more amusing stats:

The second most-faved was shot with the lowly E-PM2 and a fast prime:

Of my top 20, ten were MFT, eight were shot with an iPhone, one with an APS-C DSLR, and one with a Canon 1/1.7" (largest of small sensors) compact.

All the most-faved MFT photos were shot with high-quality lenses (20/1.7, Nocticron, 12-40). A cheap or disreputed MFT lens does not appear until the 15th slot: the Olly 14-150 superzoom!

A side of shadows. Olly 14-150 @ f/10 on E-M1

My old D7000 does not show up until position 23.

MFT dominates the rest of the list, with iPhone and Canon compact far behind.

Now perhaps a real shocker. The first Full Frame DSLR photo does not show up until position 56! A bright day-time shot I might perhaps have got on my iPhone, if not then definitely the E-PM2: https://www.flickr.com/photos/atramos/14382899610/

The next Full Frame image is in position 80. A low-light shot worthy of Full Frame, except I had to stop down quite a bit for DOF, and then cropped for better framing. I think next time, I'm taking the E-M1 with an 40-150 f/2.8 instead:

frivolous use of Full Frame camera - this D700 50mm shot is stopped down and cropped

Photo #88 rounds out the only 3 full-frame shots that made it to the top 100. This also might have been an unnecessary use of a full-frame camera from an optical standpoint, although the DSLR OVF and PDAF probably made the shot much easier than it would have been on the E-M1:

That's all folks. There wasn't really a point to this post except to share my findings and to show off a few images
