IMHO 140 vs 200 is not enough. So that leaves you with the 2 300mm zooms. If you did not like the100-300mm.....

I carry my GM5 or GX7 with the supplied  neckstrap under my armpit, crossed from the other shoulder. Just try it you will see how that works and if that works for you. This is while hiking and ...

No I agree, easiest solution and one to consider if you are not happy with m4/3 line up. Why wait for expensive and heavy lenses if you can have them now? Going from f2.8 to f2 or f1.4 on m4/3 is ...

I am a big fan of them (Imaging Resource) ans spent way to much time there in the past. They were the reason I tested the 2.8 lenses against my slower ones, because I expected them to be sharper. I ...

Get the Panasonic 14-45. I tested it head to head with the 12-40 and we (not only I but also the owner of the 12-40 who paid full price for it) agreed they were equals. Except a slight softens at ...

In reality they don't, I tried them all (12-35, 12-40 and 35-100 f2.8) at a local shop compared to 14-45 45-150 12-32 and 20mm and they are really just as sharp. Pixel peeping revealed a slightly ...

I can only think of a 2 body kit. 7-14 f4 on my GM5 and 14-45 on GX7 or the other way round. Not perfect, but light and up to 90mm as a bonus.

Yes, and the thing is that the mind is a very powerful tool. Or maybe I should say attention and focus is. Once you start looking at noise or blown highlights in pictures or muddy lows in ...

I agree whole heartedly! Funny is, being a musician before engineer I have also resisted the temptation of over specifying my audio tools and hifi needs.For example I really like the earbuds from ...

The GM5 is my favourite body for my 100-300 mk1. Best results with this lens from the bodies I have (GX7 GH3). It doesn't fare well with electronic shutters (blurred bands and skewed straight ...

I don't think you need to fill the gap between 60 and 100mm at all. I would not anyway. What is the limitation in practice you come against and if none perfect and if you have an issue try to fix that.

1 no keep 7-14, one stop is not that interesting. 2  no keep the 35-100 or sell 35-100 for this lens not both! is 100mm enough for you? 3 no why if you have the 12-35 and  35-100 or 50-200 4 If you ...

Thanks

No apology needed! Forums are handy but also limited communication wise, you never know where someone is coming from in the helpful to trolling spectrum ;-). Exactly, I understand that on a cloudy ...

No you miss my point. I am trying to be helpful practically! I agree with you 100% about ETTR. I am just adding that you should do this at the lowest iso possible. If using ETTR (at any iso) you ...

To make it a little more controllable, do the following on a tripod, with focus and apperture fixed (unsharpness also gives the impression of more noise).  Do 6 different exposures with one stop ...

Even stopping down to f4 or f5.6 will be enough . If you do some testing for the best setting before hand. So the closest focus distance where infinity is in focus. I did this for my 7.5mm fisheye ...

Honestly there is not much gain for indoor shooting with any of those. Maybe faster focussing because of DFD. And of course better OIS. But for indoor  the limits are in the movement  (which needs ...

I have the 45-150 and like it. It is relatively small and light. I saw a deal on the 35-100 which is smaller and lighter and researched the image quality through reviews.  Well they seem about ...

I had the 14 and 20mm and for me I love the 20mm and didn't like the FOV of the 14mm. I do love ultrawide (7-14) though and also the 12mm of my 12-32 (landscapes). One lens for me would be the ...
