Black is preferred nowadays for preventing unexpected reflections. Beware that a vintage filter will probably be single or even uncoated glass... form over function might not be the best way to go ...

Welcome! This place can be a cage fight sometimes though... enjoy your rekindled passion for photography. The EM5 and original EM1 did the same for me.

Lens IS at 400mm is noticably better than my EM1.2 IBIS, but as Oly claim a stop or more better IBIS with the EM1.3, it might be a wash. My EM1X is a touch worse IBIS than the Pana 100-400 Lens IS ...

Presumably you mean HHHR. There would no issue with Pana lenses for HHHR. For Pana lenses, generally the Olympus IBIS is a better option to Pana Lens IS, and setting the camera Menu "Lens IS ...

Good results... keep showing us more as you continue with this gear!

Very nice... you are too modest!

I have toyed with the idea of a 24mp-ish FF and wide angle zoom... S5 and 20-60 for example, and my dreams of landscape nirvana. Then I realise I will not get a massive uptick in IQ. That would ...

You would also need the 25mm mk1 to have a complete set!

I have one... it had soft one side issues that I resolved... this issue is/ was a fairly common problem. It now is quite delightful to use. Sharp enough all over wide open, even better stopped ...

I agree... yet the experts on here will tell us how a plastic fantastic Canon EF 50mm f1.8 on FF will "eat alive", even wide open, any m43 combo. Is it a FF vs DX thing that makes this a fact over ...

Murphy's Law (adapted for photography)... "The lens you should have brought is at home". Seriously though, this only happens when you don't know what to expect when out shooting... which is often ...

BIF with a 1200mm Eq. lens is hit and miss due mostly to extreme magnification... plus you need at least 1/2500 shutter speed for most BIF which will mean higher ISO's with f8.0 max aperture and ...

Very nice set of glass! I have several Panaleica and Lumix lenses... chosen over Olympus alternatives... sometimes after trying both options out. Optically and mechanically, Panasonic (and ...

The 2 secs "OK" for the EM1.3 and 12-100 IS must be a result combined from all focal lengths. I can get tack sharp 4 secs at 12mm and "OK" at 12secs (EM1X). Sony really is surprising... it seems ...

Yes. +1

That FT 14-35 F2.0... what a beauty it is/ was!

I am not sure about poor marketing... maybe an unfortunate decision in the beginning. They (and the other members of the consortium) could have called it Mirrorless Four Thirds. "Micro" was just ...

My credit card is getting even more nervous now thinking how good the GH6 might be...

Maybe on the grog and should go to bed rather and rethink after waking up?

Well that's encouraging then... I am pretty sure my EM1.2 and EM1X plus my Nocticron could not have done such a good job.
