Hello,

As I have decided to stay with micro four-thirds, I have decided to buy a lens or two. I currently only have the Olympus 25mm 1.8

I am looking to buy myself a Christmas present from the above lenses either new or used. In Japan here there are plenty of used lenses for reasonable prices.

I want something short in focal length to compliment the 25mm. I do not need a long reaching zoom lens at this stage. A general walk around lens for street shots and travel is my preference.

Weight is also a factor; this why I sold the d7000. I do not want something heavy. I had considered the 12-40 pro instead of buying the 25mm but the total weight would have been 780 grams which for me is too much.

Thanks for your advice in advance,

Adam

Since you have a 25, if you choose to get a second prime, I would recommend something wider than 17; and if you need something faster than F/2.5, the Panaleica 15/1.7 might be an ideal choice.

The choice between a prime and a zoom is a different matter. My instinct would be to go for the zoom, for the sake of flexibility, and switch to the prime in low light.

I see a dark line on the right side of the shoe where Lightroom desaturated the purple fringe.

What utter crap

I've attached an enlargement of the area, and you can see a dark line along the right side of the shoe, which is where the purple fringe was desaturated.

Notice how the dark line disappears along the trees, which is exactly the same place where the purple fringe normally disappears, because the trees don't reflect enough purple/near-UV spectrum light to cause a fringe.

Nope, there was no fringing at at.

Now why don`t you get out and take some pictures.

If there's no fringe, then what's that dark line along the side of the shoe that disappears where it overlaps the trees?

That would be the paint job, you have blown up a low res image and now your seeing things, you head needs examining

There's a dark line along the edge of the giant shoe that doesn't belong. Caused by crappy lens.
