What lenses pixel shift ?

[JaKing]

All advances are welcome AFAIAC, Jim.

Just because I don't use something is not a good reason to heap scorn and derision on it, as some unfortunately feel compelled to do.

Like the fabled global shutter, hand held Hi-Res will come eventually. Just compare (say) the E-1 with the E-M1 MkII. Huge advances, as have other manufacturers. Not all are equally useful to everyone ...

Yep , a global shutter seems to be the holy grail , I think my needs are so simple that most features just sail on by Computational photography is the future

is not a problem, if you use a long enough shutter speed - in fact the results can be very pleasing. Even cloud formations can show up beautifully, wind or not.

But trees, reeds etc, where you (or I anyway) would like to have some detail... If it's windy, forget it.

BTW, if you shoot raw, oly makes three different files of each exposure: jpg, orf and ori.

The jpg is full size large image, the orf-file as well. But the ori-file is in fact a usual orf-file, not sure if it is the first or the last exposure or an extra one, a single shot and from the same bunch anyway, with the same settings. The difference is, that ori-file is the same size of the normal orf-file, not the high-resolution image. If you name it differently with .orf-end, every raw developer can develop it as well.

Cheers!

While it is a feature I am interested in it is not on any of my m43 cameras. However, on the threads pondering what Olympus has up its sleeve for the rumoured high end camera. Motivated with wishful thinking and selfishness I have my hopes firmly set on a much faster implementation of the pixel shift feature. Which for me could be a real game changer

So assuming this is firstly possible and will indeed be in the camera. What lenses are "good enough" to take full advantage of pixel shift for high res images . I suspect that few of my current m43 lenses will be up to the job

20mm F/1.7

25mm F/1.4

60mm F/2.8 macro

12-35mm F/2.8 { mk I}

25-100mm F/2.8 { mk I}

100-300mm { mk I}

So if you were building a lens kit with pixel shift in mind { mainly at the landscape / macro end} what would you go for ?

Pixel shift is just a composite of 20megapixel images. If you can do a single 20mm image sharply, the pixel shift image will be sharp too.

I have only great or good lenses, no kit lenses, but I haven't been let down by any of them using pixel shift.

The sharper the lens, the better output of the high res feature.

Is this your theory or your experience?

In my experience the lens isn't as critical as the scene, and longer lenses are harder to use pixel shift HR because subtle changes in the subjects are amplified, even things like movement in distant trees.
