Olympus 45mm 1.8. It's a bit weird looking, but affordable, solidly made, very light and has excellent IQ. I don't think I've ever tried a budget portrait lens for any system that gives back so ...

Wouldn't call it ugly, but it certainly is plus size.

I'll pick up a GM5 as soon as one shows up on the used market, and ideally I want a metal, USB-C E-M5.4, or maybe a WR, mic jack GX10. Since neither one exists, I'm looking at maybe getting a G90 ...

Probably depends on where you live. Over here the E-PL5 (and maybe E-PL6) seems to be the best compromise when it comes to availability, price, features and image quality. The GX800 can be had ...

The Lumix GMs and the Leica CL are in my opinion the best looking digital cameras on the market, with the Fuji X100V, Leica M10 (P and Monochrome especially) and the Pen F close by. Best looking ...

They're a bit pricy, but Wotancraft makes nice and flexible bags. Managed to fit a G90 with a 100-300mm and a GX80 with a 17mm in my Trooper with room to spare, with a tripod attached to the ...

7Artisans has a very affordable 35mm 1.4 for E-mount. Never actually tried it, but the reviewers seem to enjoy it. A bit soft and a bit unpredictable, but you'd probably just get a Sony or a Sigma...

I've just barely tested mine, but the 7A seems to behave better than the TT at the widest aperture. The latter has a pretty extreme colour bloom effect (often appearing reddish) at high contrast. ...

As a rule of thumb you should always skip a generation, as the changes are usually too minor to be worth it. The exception is if there a particular feature you've been aching for on the previous ...

I've actually ordered both, the 7A for X mount and the TT for MFT. The FOV won't exactly be comparable, but it could be interesting to shoot some pictures of the same subjects anyway.

I'm in pretty much the same boat, except I have an X-E1, a couple of M42 lenses and some manual 7Artisans lenses. I'm pretty sure I'll go for the X-E4 (mainly due to size and price), but I'm not ...

Give it WR and a mic jack, and bundle it with a new WR 20mm 1.7. Basically what the X-E4 should have been. Oh, and don't remove the rear dial or the MSC switch.

This comparison to point & shoots is also one that I find particularly puzzling. Again, this is a camera with dedicated dials for shutter speed and exposure compensation, plus a joystick, an extra ...

How is the attach rate though? I suspect MFT might have gobbled up what's left of the old DSLR market, where people got a kit lens (and maybe a portrait or telephoto lens), and that's it. That's ...

So the rear dial is essential because, on a camera with dedicated dials for shutter speed and exposure compensation, people assign two more dials to control shutter speed and exposure compensation? ...

Can't you just learn to live without it? I mean, you have a shutter speed dial, and exposure compensation dial, can set the ISO on the front dial if you change it often, and the aperture you set ...

Borrowed a G9 for a couple of weeks last year. Great camera, but I'd never want to own such a massive lump of a camera. :-P With all the whining over the lack of a grip on the X-E4 I'm thinking I ...

If only Panasonic would stop with the huge cameras and Olympus would stop building them out of flimsy plastic. I'd stick with MFT if they could actually put out a decent GX10, but who knows ...

This one could kill the camera for me as well. I guess I didn't think of it because my equally ancient Lumix cameras automatically switch to manual and turn on peaking when I put on a manual lens ...

That's a bit hyperbolic, isn't it? They've removed a wheel and a switch. The rest is all there. It's still just as wheely and switchy as the Leica M and CL, which I bet was what they were going ...
