OK, got it. Missed the point about the time it takes for the hi-res mode.

OK, got it.

Huh? Go play catch with someone while spinning around on a merry-go-round, then come back and we can talk about Coriolis forces.

The moon is a very bright object ... no need for long exposures with the 300. Check the exif data on this one, for example ....

Could have used a warning on this one. Just spit out a mouthful of my morning coffee :-)

Agreed.  An f4 is not the best choice for this situation. That's why the 45/1.8 is a such a beaut, and the 25/1.2 looks interesting.  Horses for courses. You're comparing apples and oranges with ...

Wow!  I was only going to watch a few seconds of the video and ended up sucked into the story.  Can you tell us more about the assignment, and how did this marvelous story. (I've long wanted to ...

And the 12-100 4.0 would reply "Grandpa, did you ever do any video back in the old days?"

I think this lens is really designed with video in mind. For one thing, the sync stabilization featured in this lens ought to have huge appeal to anyone interested in doing video with the EM-1 mark ...

Very, very well done.  It's fun to see what the 300/4 can do.

Actually, I have to agree with you regarding the T/S adapter.  But I will stick to my guns regarding mFT use in portraiture.

What would a legacy 50 do on mFT that a 25/1.2, 45/1.8, or 75/1.8 couldn't do? And besides, it's such a crock of s*** that you need ultra shallow DOF to do portraiture. For example, look at some of ...

This is actually very insightful.   From the perspective of the lens, the amount of light fall on the sensor is determined by the product of the solid angle of view, aperture area, and scene ...

For portraits I like both the 75/1.8 and 45/1.8. The 45, in particular, is a sweet little lens at a very good price. For comparison, I created the following chart comparing the relative blur of the ...

I realize your point was that not all shots require max background blur, but even on that point mFT has its merits. Here's a chart comparing relative background blur vs background distance for the ...

Indeed. What I mean by a casual day out is, for example, putting the boat in the water and visiting spots on a lake with the wife and perhaps some friends. I can carry along a lowepro shoulder bag ...

Couldn't agree more. While it's no bokeh monster, it's not all that bad either.  Just put some a little distance between your subject and background and it does fine.  But however you choose to use ...

And what you can't have with FF is a casual day out with your Oly 300/4.

The 300/4 provided the epiphany for me. The mFT was a nice system before then. Post 300/4, I can't imagine going to an APS-C or FF system for the kind of outdoor shooting I enjoy. I'm thinking an ...
