This thread is so totally incomplete… Let me try:
Why waste your time and money on this tiny sensor? Overpriced. With a plastic lens in front of it. At f/3.6 only. From a fraudulent company.
Better, right? Feels much more like a 43rimors thread now.
You’re welcome.
This response is so totally incomplete… Let me try:
Sebastian, mom says you’re spending too much time in the basement with the door closed. And stop eating all those fruit roll-ups, mom will have lunch ready soon.
You’re welcome.
I’m thinking Sebastian was joking, but maybe I’m wrong.
Nah, totally serious. I mean, I couldn’t believe it, I was the second person commenting on a totally inconsequential promotional OP and nobody had started a useless equivalency war yet! Not even one of the usual trolls! Somebody had to do it. No thread here remains without. 😉
I am thinking Sebastian is a joke. I think I am right.
The thread you should have written thinking on your gear:
Why waste your time and money (and vertebral health) on this heavy brick? More than overpriced. With an enormous and heavy lens in front of it and a sensor that will gather dust enough to seed potatoes on it after six months. With and unusable F3.6 (because will be very poor IQ at least you expend 3 or 4 salaries on a better lens). From such a lazy company that all innovations it does are just to copy the innovations from other companies.
Better, right? Feels much more like a thread from an oligophrenic without social life now.
You’re welcome.
Black body and SILVER lens?
Not for this little black duck.
Is the 45mm/1.8 lens splash-proof or waterproof?
Doesn’t matter.
Its plastic so it floats, will not rust and bounces if dropped……………
FInally the first good arguments i can hear for use of plastic? LOL
its modelproof, the glass doesn’t buildup fog while doin closeups.
It’s wise to confirm the specs $ look of the EM10 before concluded to get the EM5 .
If the new EM10 overleap the current EM5 ( 1/16000s & Over 1 FS improvement in ISO & IQ ) then it worth for the upgrade otherwise it’s smart to get the already “WellDone” EM5 .
Does everyone really like silver lenses? I didn’t realize there was such a market for them. Personally, I think they look a little strange on a black body. I guess Olympus knows better than me, about what people like.
“Does everyone really like silver lenses?”
No.
Some do though. Some don’t care if it works well.
You must be new here. Or you would know all about Silver. Oly silver and silver on silver and how many shades of silver can one make.
For some odd reason, when I look at my photos, I’m unable to determine the color of the lens that was used to capture the image…weird!
Seriously, I don’t understand all the fuss over the way a lens “looks”.
You must be absolutely delusional if you think aesthetics do not matter when it comes to cameras. Like it or not, appearance does matter. Always has and always will. I am so sick of the holier than thou attitude some people have when they proclaim that their gear’s appearance doesn’t matter.
Enthusiasts will always like matching stuff, even on a subconscious level. My black EM5 will, to my eyes, always look better with a black 45mm or 75mm on it. So given the choice, you can be damn sure I am getting the black versions of those lenses.
Seriously, if you want to understand the ‘fuss over the way a lens looks’, paint your most used lens a bright shade of pink and use it for a while. Let us see then.
OMG…You must be delusional if you think I’m going to paint any of my cherished photo gear (including my black and SILVER lenses). Seriously…paint? Pink duct tape maybe – but not paint!
You see, I learned the trade years ago with Leica gear…some lenses were black…some were silver…my Leica bodies were almost always two-tone. I never cared about the lens color then and still don’t. I cared about the image and still do. We really didn’t have a choice in lens color back then…sort of had to take what was available.
I like the way my E-M1 looks…and my GM1…and my G6, G5, etc. I use black and/or silver lenses on all of them.
Sorry if I offended your GQ stylishness…it was not my intent. I was simply stating that I don’t understand why it matters so much to others. Maybe I should try to be a little more stylish with my gear!
Odd. In Sweden, where camera gear usually is much more expensive, you get the E-M5 with both 12-50 and 45 f/1.8 slightly cheaper than this price. Last week you could even get that bundle for 740 euro!
