This isn’t a JIP product... Compare this to equivalent lenses from canon/Nikon, in regards to optical quality, robustness and weather sealing, and I think you may find it’s not so over priced. Just...

All this talk about f4 not being fast enough for indoors. Cast your minds back to the E510, where ISO 1600 was the highest. Now match that with a kit lens, f5.6. I remember shooting live music...

Sounds like you didn’t own or use the lens. I have had it for a while and found it on my camera more than my 12-40 2.8. Not only is the 12-100mm sharp wide open, it’s also quick to focus and...

Strange how my Panasonic lens gives me plenty of chance to photograph during late afternoons and early evenings. Sure equivalencies can be used to discuss but let’s face physics, it still lets in...

You just of missed the *tongue in cheek* But seriously the point here was started because someone said the Olympus 40-150mm was comparable to this lens, a statement I do not agree with. The back...

The optical system, in this case the lens (optical) and sensor (receptor), since the sensor does nothing to the optical part of the system, we are left with just the lens *tongue-in-cheek* Let’s...
-
Mike, your point is a very specific example which is where this Nikon lens is ideal, giving the light gathering on its format to produce the best output. The issue I was referring to was this idea...
-
MikeRan, 2.8 is 2.8 no matter the image circle or sensor. It doesn’t mean that it’s the same dof, fov, resolution, etc... It’s a physical property of the lens, 40/2.8 gives you the aperture...

If we excuse the MP output of the lens and instead look at the measures MTF from places like lenstip, you will see that per mm the 40-150mm is sharper than the consumer grade 70-300mm. Add in the...

Miki Nemeth You have taken my comments off of context to meet you needs. My post stated the 70-300mm was comparable to the 40-150mm. In reference to a previous post that was saying a consumer...
-
Ruekon, yes the 70-300mm is a comparable lens on fov and dof, however the sharpness is very unlikely to match the Olympus 40-150mm 2.8, not to mention focus speed, internal zoom/focus and weather...

While you have a point in regards to it being a f2.8 lens, you have missed the sheer demands on the Nikon. It has to provide outstanding quality at 45MP (and I expect in the near future even...

Dexter75, please show us the photos. From my experience with the iPhone 11, it’s shallow depth of field trick is just that, a trick. Looks great on the small screen but fails to match what can be...

4 mins in photoshop (costs £9-10 a month at cheapest) vs £5 on a physical device. Easy to see which is better value for this result. Also, instax cameras are still selling well hence the...

The comment about JIP and the cash they hold, JIP are not necessarily buying the imaging division but managing the process of forming a new company that will continue the business of the imaging...

Always happens on Olympus announcements, reviews and sample galleries. The whole ‘it’s a tiny sensor’ rhetoric is getting old now, the equivalencies seem to never be correctly applied in the...

The only competition for the Olympus 100-400mm is the Panasonic 100-400mm, the Sigma/Canon/Nikon/etc... are irrelevant because they don’t fit the mount. So the Olympus lens is cheaper MSRP in the...

When I first went from my E30 to the original EM10, I picked up CDAF capable lenses and the focus seemed to work just fine in a live music venue (rock and metal bands). So now this version of the...
-
The lens design is close, or the same, however as this was done with the four thirds 70-300mm the main difference was the quality of glass used. The old 70-300 was sharper than the Sigma variant,...
-
And at which point is such a high MP count a requirement? Given more pixels in the same area will increase the image noise, this wouldn’t fair well for Olympus or Panasonic. Obviously since the...
