Olympus OM-D

Olympus OM-D

I made a little sudy here of some flowers at the side of a lake. I couldn't get that close to them so I used my mZD 14-150 lens that seemed to line on my E-PL1. This gave me another chance to test this lens on the OM-D. There's not a lot to say about these images except that I like them and I think the lens did pretty well.

Olympus OM-D

The more I use this camera the more I like it. It sort of creeps up on you. At the beginning I wasn't very impressed with the file quality, until that is, I learned how to process them. It does take a little more time and effort but it is worth it. Especially working with the highlights in LR4.1; highlight recovery is very impressive indeed.

Olympus OM-D with the mZD 14-150

When I go out with my camera on these outings I generally don't go out looking for specific images. On holiday trips it's different. I know where I'm going and I know what I'm looking for. I just walk around and photograph what takes my fancy. Like today's post.

Now this image is very sharp, even at 100% viewing. Again at 150mm. One thing again with the Olympus OM-D, I generally have to dial in negative Exposure Compensation as not to blow out the highlights. This isn't any different from all my other Olympus cameras. With Panasonic however, I have the opposite, I always dial in positive Exposure Compensation otherwise the image will be dark and flat looking.

Olympus OM-D with the mZD 14-150

As you may have noticed I've concentrated on the long end of this lens. I know that images images from the 40 - 100 range of the lens are very good. Just wanted to see the longer end to try and convince others of the sharpness that I get from it. Either I must have a very good copy or other have received a lemon of a lens. Shame really.

Very inquisitive birds as you may already know. This one watched me intently for what must have been 10 minutes. Can't fault the lens again either. Some must be thinking that I applied a lot of sharpening to these image, which is not the case. All I do is a little sharpening to the image after downsizing for the web, which is normal. I have however processed the raw file more aggresively in LR4. The files do require a little more work.

Again taken at 150 and f8. I must admit I almost always set this lens to f8. Seeems to be the best aperture for the lens. These birds are really fun to watch. They're always up to something and this one was in the process of demolishing a piece of wood.
Focused on the eye and as you can see, the eye is sharp.

Olympus OM-D with the mZD 14-150

So, many people are asking what all the fuss is about the new Olympus OM-D. Having used it now on a few outings it does feel like a nice camera. One thing I have particuarly noticed is that post processing workflow has had to change. The files don't seem all that sharp coming out of the camera and some heavier PP is in order. Dynamic range is better than the old models and I was dying to ry out my favourite mZD 14-150 on it. I like this lens on my older Olympus cameras and it's the one lens that always goes with me on vacation (if I'm taking the Olympus cameras that is).
Hre's one taken at 150, where people complain about image quality from this lens. Sorry, I can't really fault it at this focal length, or at any other come to think of it. The next few posts in the coming days are about the images using this combination. Following those I'll post some images from the OMD sporting the Olympus mZD 75-300 lens. I was quite surprised by this lens as it performs much better on the OM-D than on the older models.

Panasonic GF1 with the 20 f1.7

Panasonic GF1 with the 20 f1.7

Having spoken earlier about a pro body from Panasonic got me thinking about my images with the GF1 and the G1. Both produce very good images and just because they now seem to be old hat doesn't mean that they should be discarded for new bodies. The image above was taken out of plane window on my way down to Spain in March of 2010. Quality can hold up against the newer bodies as it was taken at ISO 100. Where most newer bodies are better is at higher ISO, but if you have noticed I rarely use ISO above 800. So this for me has no value. These older bodies should do me fine and I shouldn't be considering upgrading my bodies. But, being me, and being a bit of a gear nut I just can't help myself and I will be purchasing new equipment at some time.
the reason for this post is the fact that Panasonic have now brought out the 12-35 f2.8 lens (24-70 f2.8 35mm equivelent). The 35-100 f2.8 (70-200 f2.8 35mm equivelent) has also been announced but not yet on the market. This for me is the beginning of the pro lenses for the m4/3 format. I don't think that Panasonic would be bringing these out without a pro body on the drawing board. That is what I have been waiting for.
The 12-35 seems to be a lovely lens and reviews have shown that it is highly regarded. I'm sure that the 35-100 will be of the same quality and if I'm honest with myself, those two lenses and a fast prime should cover my shooting needs quite well. I just hope Panasonic aren't sitting on the fence or twiddling their thumbs about this, I'm sure I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting a new high end body from Panasonic.

Olympus OM-D E-M5 with the Olympus 45 f1.8

Olympus OM-D E-M5 with the Olympus 45 f1.8

So how well does the OM-D do with the other Olympus lenses? Well, very well indeed. I took the 45 f1.8 out to the Zoo with me, just to get the feel of how it performs. It also gave me the chance to do some low light shooting to see how the focusing behaves.
As you can see from this image, the 45 f1.8 is a very sharp lens and the OM-D focusing is spot on.
