M43 has 110 film sized COMS sensor. Those who buy M43 are most for the compact sized back up cameras or for family snap photos.
Professionals and advanced hobbyist would go for full frame at least if they are seeking to show photos professionally. God would know how many of these super wide lenses are going to sell. Olympus would better look into full frame or medium format super wide for bigger professional market.
I use mainly m43 system for my works. Be them still life, reportages, concerts.
A MF camera from Olympus would steal my attention, if made in a Mamiya7 style, but they are somehow “chained” to their past products, and I doubt it will ever happen.
Thanks for sharing your opinion! They might be valuable for some people, but I doubt it.
If one of my main fields wasn’t hand-held supertele photography, I probably would be shooting with Full Frame cameras today, be it a Canon or Nikon DSLR or a Sony A7-something. But, because it is, I’m shooting with an Olympus E-M1, which has proven to be exactly the camera for my “advanced hobbyist” needs (shooting with system cameras, including analog medium format, for more than three decades), even more so than earlier Four Thirds DSLRs I used were.
Not exactly. Porefessional landscape photographer who often hike into wilderness definitely appreciate a light system with full weatherproof.
I have a Sony A7 just sitting around. Meanwhile, countless pics taken with my wonderful E-P5 and old manual Olympus lenses (and a Leica ‘Cron 35mm) have been published online. Those lenses are mostly very nice, but even pics taken with the at its time good, but now completely surpassed PEN-F 25mm 2.8 have found their audience. I define my photography myself, thank you. Now, if we were going to talk Kleinbild/35mm, it’s the lens in Sony’s RX1 that makes me sit up and take notice.
God, what a boring and predictable comment. But sure, keep telling yourself that.
What a stupid comment…
The problem with your thinking is that you make the assumption that the sensor performance is proportional with it’s surface, like it was in the film area, and that plain wrong ! DxO recently test the nikon d7200 and their conclusion is below 1600 iso there is no difference in IQ between it and the d610. Yep NO difference ! And may i remind you m43 and aps-c are very close in size ? m43 is already very good today and with the pro lenses offer Olympus get a lot of “advanced hobbyist” in the boat, and even some “pro” as a primary system. I have no doubt the next generation of m43 sensor will be a lot better and will attract more and more “pro”. Don’t get me wrong, FF is useful in some case, and will not be completely phase-out by smaller sensor. Simply that not required to go FF anymore to have “pro” quality.
Sorry but this is complete BS. You say for yourself.
robin wong just review it

And highly praises Olympus’ newest optical achievement. This seems to be a versatile and very accomplished lens indeed.

This program focuses on a hormone called “leptin” that is more concentrated in women. I can’t stress enough that women should try this before wasting her money on things that don’t work.
