So can you please explain why you shoot expansive MF Digital camera to take blurry images where sharpness and resolution are irrelevant ?

It is a very bad advertising for m43 Panasonic gear :( I have a G9 and this same lens combo, and I got MUCH better results than you with this setup... so there should be something wrong in your ...

Not everyone no, this is a complete urban legend... check the results of some real blind tests which were done on several camera brands colors, and I think you will be surprised by the results.

Bokeh and colors are so much better on the Nikon/Plena combo ! I never understood the hype around Fuji colors, even with film Fuji was always too green... It was maybe ok with Velvia to boost the ...

It is the only m43 lens that I found not sharp (from 250mm), so I sold it...

No discussion with Panasonic, because they make great cameras and lenses, and users are very happy with them :) That's all !

GX9 is called GX7mkIII in Japan for a good reason... a perfect travel camera, and the successor of the GX7 PS : GX80/85 was the GX7mkII in Japan

I got a Panasonic G9 and the lenses you mention (12-35 II + 35-100mm II). I also have a Sony A850 DSLR camera. (I love the color rendition of this camera, and it is great to obtain nice bokeh with ...

Ok so now we know what will be the future Panasonic S1II :)
Same sensor, but much cheaper :)

Come one, open your eyes ! The background is so ugly !! (maybe to much shadows recovery applied ? Please keep this ugly background in the shadows :-) )

It is wrong, I got mine for only 900 euros (in fact 1400 euros - 500 euros of Panasonic cash back on this lens at this time), it was completely new and sold by a real street reseller (not black ...

OMG, the background blur is SO ugly !!! A very bad advertising for this lens and m43 in general... :-( My advice : get a real macro lens (like the Olympus 60mm macro), and your results will be MUCH ...

Did you tried to do AF micro adjustments ? As the new G9II uses PDAF, it is the return of the plague of the AF micro adjustments... there is an option in the menu to activate them. Page 168 in the ...

Hello, I want to use a self timer accessory for my Hasselblad 500cm. So I bought an Autoknips II timer : Autoknips II mechanical timer It works well, but the problem is that my shutter release ...

For me this image shows an obvious disadvantage of the m43 gear system = the out-of-focus to focus transition is very harsh, very quick (blurry front -> sharp subject -> blurry background). Look ...

A good example of auto persuasion after a buy :) For also having g bth (m43 and FF) my answer is more nuanced, the differences in image quality are minimal really (for products of the same ...

« DOF DOF DOF » Photography is not about DOF !!! DOF can’t be the only argument of photo gear choice ! m43 is a perfect system for me (even if I use also other formats, and don’t do videos at all)

Yes I also personally used it. I don’t say it is a bad lens, just that it is now outdated, surpassed by more recent m43 macro lenses, so I hope for an update.

No you're wrong, it is not "simply because they are not new" at all !! (I love old stuff when it is still good) This macro lens is just outdated now in performance terms (even more on 25MP sensor ...

Yes I saw this later :) So... it should work !!
