When you like a 17 mm prime, you should also have a look at the voigtlander. Once you get used to the 17mm FOV and zooming with your feet, your general purpose zoom is at risk to stay at home.

+1  go for quality for your most used focal length. there is no need for a lense between 17 mm and 50 mm.  it is just a matter of flexibility and options to switch between focal lengths with a ...

I decided for a new one from a brick&mortar camera store @ 2350€.

Great that you can follow the racing with your camera! Try to get a picture of “the Auld Mug” when possible. It is the oldest trophy in sports. I had the chance to see and photograph it in ...

Wow, this thread pulls the trigger to buy a 300f4!

Yes, i did to pair with my great voigtander 17.5. i think birding and macro are the other strong points of mft. we should focus on the gems in the lens collection, that are unique to mft and stop ...

Thx,   This is good advice!

Thanks guys! you saved me some €€€ on a 40-150 😀 now i can spend 2,5k on a 300f4. I found a used one in a specialised store for used gear @1850€. Are there some issues with refurbrished models or ...

Hello, What is the most rational option for the occasional wildlife, bird and astro shooter? i am in a very slow upgrade path and am looking for an upgrade for my E420 +40-150 kit lens that covers ...

sorry, english is not my native language... I have no problem at all with gear collectors. I am just saying that more gear won’t I necessarily improve your photography. the E420 is > 12 years old, ...

No, I am a use the lens that is on the camera guy.  I’ve got that covered with the voigtlander 17.5.   I rarely use my 12 f2 or 45 f1.8. My e420 double lens kit is only used for occasional shoots ...

Olympus europe started sale in may I think so. i bought a new Em1-ii from a german on line store for 1050€ and got the rode mic promo from Olympus Europe for free. Nice to have a brand “new” sensor ...

Great explanation! I learned something i could not define until now. For me a lens is worth to buy or keep if i like the pictures they give.  I study the lens pools in Flickriver.  Maybe it there ...

There is little to add to Jeff’s reply.   In short: the results!  Not at f 1.2, but at f2.8-5.6. The pictures have that little more that makes them stand out.   I am not talking about blurred ...

I bought a new em 1-ii to keep using my voigt.   This is the lens that keeps me from changing to fuji or nikon.

If the squirrel has its favourite spots, a good wireless remote and a tripod can give spectacular results with wide angle. or you can try video. sometimes a little creativity can save your $$$$$. h ...
