OM-1

Image quality of all the OM constant F/4 lenses, including the 12-100, is good. I bought the 12-100 years ago, and it's one of most most used lenses outdoors. handles perfectly on "1" series bodies. Enough weight to tilt grip of the camera over to return the handshake. The best way to give that 40-1

most of these points are kinda weird, like you are making compromises on some aspects and gaining benefits on some others, that is how different gear work, so you can say the compromises are worth it for you but totally dismissing them isn't the way. like looking at the points, low light, resolution

I love m43 system, but no, it would be foolish to do so these days (with a few exceptions) You can find cheaper and better camera and lenses, new or used. Take a Sony A6100, it smokes everything m43 by a mile except the OM-1 and G9 II in some areas and it's dirt cheap. Autofocus, video, fps, senzor,

Thanks for the quick and helpful response! Unfortanetely, the OM-1 and/or 300mm f4.0 pro are not very affordable to me. However, I have definitely been debating between the panasonic and olympus system and lenses, but ive found that the lenses both are said to have their respective benifits and down

In light "bound" photography, where shutter speeds are required to freeze motion and ISO "gain" is required to expose, it doesn't matter if you're shooting with a large or small sensor, both sensors require the same physical size aperture to achieve a similar performance for a given FOV. Smaller sen

Your observations of M43 loosing appeal in the face of mirrorless FF is valid. Both OM and PL are off course with M43 in key areas. On the OM side, an updated 5 series with a modern sensor and a new PEN body camera around 300g are both required to get competitive again. I also believe they need to s

It is meaningless and actually harmful because it introduces confusion to newbies, and suggests the distinction between "good" and "bad" lenses lies somewhere else than in reality. Check out the previous comment in this thread: I think the Panasonic 12-60mm kit lens is probably the best kit lens. Th

You will hear some FF advocates saying you can get just as light a kit. You can't. Maybe if you stick to one camera and 3 slow lenses. Otherwise when you start to add bags, tripods, 5-6 lenses etc. OM-1 w/ OM 100-400 is same weight/size as a modern FF mirrorless body with the sigma 100-400, and both
