Hi, it seems different but hands down? Here a few old ones of me with the 45/1.8 on the old noisy epl1. Bokeh seems a little better on the sigma, softer, showing lower distortion.

'IQ-wise, 30mm wins hands down.' Do you have samples? Can you show us what the difference is?

I think a caterpillar. Don't know for sure. I have seen them use spiders, caterpillars and other small insects while feeding their young. But my actual knowledge of that world is very small.

Through the double glazing of my kitchen window. em1+50-200SWD+1.4TC

No, if the difference in depth is not big the cam will focus as close as possible. That way of focussing does Olympus use since the E3. Also, on the E3/5, if it is too dark for focussing on the ...

If you want backpacking light with superb photoquality, I would say, start with a cheap em10mk2 with a 12-100 F4 (24-200FFeq) and wait for the em5 mk3. If you buy fast lenses you buy weight. I ...

I think you was too close for the minimum focus distance of the 14-150mm lens. If it is within 5-10cm the cam wil use an other  point, close to the original point, to focus on. If the difference is ...

Yes, WW2, that specific stone is nearly never without flowers. Loyal family members of that soldat ... On the Grebbeberg was a dramatic unequal battle against the Nazis.

Looking down from the Grebbeberg I saw this. (Shot with 25mm 'normal' lens just before I left )  (https://www.tracesofwar.com/sights/443/Nederlands-Militair-Ereveld-Grebbeberg.htm) View them at ...

Yesterday. Open in original size.

EM1 has only horizontal Phase points. All lines that are close to horizontal will not work. For good focussing turn the camera 45-90 degrees and you get an excellent focussing result. With the ...

my try, skin colors not really good.

As far as I know there is a way to use Canon EF lenses on the OMD series with a adapter with usable SAF. Maybe it is worth finding out more about it if you have  high quality canon lenses.

Hi, I bought this lens for €129. It's not great but very usable. I use my old 4/3 lenses most time (14-54, 11-22, 50-200) as they have better optical quality. But, as you said, it gives a few ...

Hi, what I see at this low iso is high noise reduction+high edge sharpening. The detail is smeared away and the sharpening give big ragged halos at edges. When DXO update the raw conversion come ...

Hi, you made a nice start. For better results set the noise reduction to it's lowest setting. There will be a little more noise but also much more detail.

I use Nik Color efix 4 in PS CS6. I think it's the same as the free Nik collection now. If you work in layers you can fade the filter effects for a refined result.

Hi, I think with some pp you wil get more out of it. Here my try. PS, Nik filters (detail extractor, pro contrast), high pass sharpening. full resolution jpeg quality 10. view at 'original size'.

Hi, yes the detail is very good, also at full resolution. My 50-200 remains a top lens for me. A little better than the cheap m43primes. (1.8 45mm or 25mm.) About the same quality as the 12-100 or ...
