QUOTE(patt_sue @ Jan 19 2013, 07:56 PM) Another new comer for m4/3, KODAK s1 Kodak previews the S1, its first Micro Four Thirds camera slated for later this year http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/18/3889878/...-q3-2012-launch  So happy to learn this. That means more lens manufacturers will lend their supports to m4/3 format. Can't wait for Carl Zeiss to join the fray. |

QUOTE(lonewolf @ Jan 17 2013, 01:43 PM) oly 45mm f1.8 auto or 50mm f1.4 takuma manual....whats ya 2cent? I have both of them. Built quality - Super Tak wins hand down. Value for money - Super Tak wins Bokeh quality - Again Super Tak. Ease of use - Depends. If you are not used to manual focus, then AF will be better. Especially if you want to shoot bokeh pictures of fast and constantly moving subjects such as children and puppies, then AF lens will be a better choice. Not that you can't use MF lens for such situations, but that you may have to resort to using smaller apertures (= deeper DoF) in order to have your subject(s) in sharp focus thus sacrificing the bokeh effect. Best is to google about Zone Focusing technique and why use MF lens. A lot of experienced photographers still swear by MF lenses after they have mastered how to focus properly and quickly with them. It takes lots of practice of course. A bit like comparing driving an automatic car vs a manual car. Lots of car enthusiasts still prefer manual cars over auto ones because of the better controls they have with the former. Just my two sen worth.

QUOTE(Jason @ Jan 17 2013, 02:33 PM) manual focusing quite hard with liveview, since oly/pana don't have focus peaking.. unless you use the oly art filter to do it. I think focus peaking is over-hyped. I had used Sony NEX cameras (which have focus peaking function) before and found that you won't be able to tell for sure whether the colours have peaked already or not. I prefer to use the magnification feature (provided you don't set it to higher than x5 because anything higher the image will be very shaky and be of no use either). Just my dua sen worth.

QUOTE(allic @ Jan 16 2013, 02:04 PM) anyone bought the 17mm f1.8 yet? Good review? Bought mine three days ago. Still haven't really got down to serious shooting. So far, I'm very happy with its built quality. It's much better than the Oly 45/2.8 and as good as the Oly 75/1.8. I think I'll be using it more than the PL 25/14 since I favour shorter camera to subject distance when shooting people. Of course I'll have to be careful not to shoot too close though lest their faces get distorted.  |

QUOTE(wailup @ Jan 18 2013, 08:41 AM) m43 is not easy to use oh... if put auto mode, i would rather use a point and shoot camera. Bro, why do you say it's not easy to use? I think it's no different from other cameras. Just like anything else, you just have to use the camera often to master it. |
