Fun with 4/3rds cameras/ Image Thread

... If I were Sony I'd buy Nikon. Sony glass was in my experience way too variable in quality to be relied upon - and expensive. There is so far no m43rds lens I have bought which I have found to be so lacking as the G 70-200 I bought. Ugh! There has also been a lot of similar issues to do with decentering and the like with both the Sony Zeiss range, as well.

I liked the body and I hoped it promissed the same type of small lenses as both m43rds and Leica. But instead they produced behemoths which imho are ridiculous.

Here is a comparison between the A7R+Sony90/2.8 Macro and the GX8+45/2.8Elmarit. Guess which one I can hold with one hand get sharp results?



To be fair the Sony G 90 is a stellar lens (bucking the trend) but its size completely overpowers the A7 series body making it uncomfortable to work with. I think re-buying an Elamrit 45/2.8 a short while after I purchased the GX8 was the turning point in my brief love affair with Sony.

This is one I knocked off with the GX8 and the absolutely stellar 12-35/2.8 at Rye Meads on Friday.



Anyway, Sony should buy Nikon and make use of their superior lens development know-how.

Just my two cents.

I kind of fully agree, but while this would be a superior idea, I fear that Nikon are far to vain to let that happen.

^^^ Ha-ha, yes indeed. I once spent most of a summer driving around the home counties photographing pylons. Not too sure what I will ever do with what I captured but they have a majesty I've always enjoyed looking at. Yours is a fine capture. ^^^

I like photographing 'electricity supply' too - we could start a thread :grin:

... then somebody came up with the idea that we should take a group photo of all the girls in the office.

GX8 with Pana 12-35mm f/2.8 @ 14mm and f/5

Great to see this thread going strong!

Just came across a deal I couldn't refuse on a 90-250 f2.8 so my E-M1 is back at the 'top' of my bag once again... :D

What an amazing lens, heavy heavy heavy but the IQ makes it worth lugging it around.
