What would you make differently, if you would design a PenF Mark II?
- Some PDAF points- perhaps not like the EM1 MK2 but all centered
- I will cut the color creator mode out. I think the JPEG profile colors cover that
- Would cut several features that dont' have much to do with photogrpaphy (I would have to come up with a list)
- Will make darn sure the camera UI responds in real time to user input
- Have a AF/AFC/MF lever. This is SO NEEDED on the PenF. I mean as far as not using buttons for other things that are in not so comfy positions to enact.
- Have the green squares go lit and move when doing AFC
- Have a clear AF marker that shows up, instead of the near invisible greyed out marks you can use on current PenF
- Eliminate the fully articulated LCD_ and leave it at tilt LCD
- Have a button that *always* brings up the super control panel
- Don't make super control panel / touch AF square mode mutually exclusive
Bunch of other stuff. It's amazing as I have used other cameras from other brands how many UI obstacles Olympus has put in, and how complex they have become.
If you are looking for Fuji lenses, I can highly recommend the 35/2.0 WR and 50/2.0 WR. The 23/2.0 WR is not as good as the other two. Unfortunately Fuji does not offer a 56/2.0 WR. The 56/1.2 is excellent, but big and heavy. I never use it because of that.
There's an XF50F2.0- I can live with that
I tried it at the store actually, pretty good. And today I got my XF23 F2.0 WR. If you are saying this lens is not as good as the other two, then the others must be truly spectacular because so far I am pretty impressed with it (good news!).
The 35/1.4 is not as vood as the Zeiss Touit 32/1.8. The 23/1.4 is very good, but too big and heavy.
I have had the XF 35 F1.4 since forever, and I love it. I think it's magical.
I was never impressed with the XF27. For telezooms the cheap XC50-230 is basically as good as the XF 55-200, but significantly smaller and lighter
I find the XF27 great for making the camera fit in my pocket. It's ok. The XF23 F2.0 as I tried it is clearly showing me better micro contrast.
The 10-24 is very good, but big. The 60 Macro too slow. The 18mm not good enough IMHO.
I tried the 18 mm some time back. It's the "worse" of them probably but it's also far from the useless I was expecting. But since I just got the XF35 F2.0, I may not buy now. And I already have the XF27 when size is a priority.
thanks for the comments.
