    Congratulations, Ray! I'm still hoping that the EM5 will start shipping soon...perhaps join you in NYC for a day later this month. In the meantime I am cameraless...:crying:

    Although still jpegs, an interesting comparison. Here is a 100% crop at iso3200: The full article is at Olympus OM-D E-M5: primeras muestras - use google translate!

    Micro 4/3 E-PL3 and the OM lenses

    Hi Peter, i have had several OM lenses from 50mm 1.4 to the 100 2.8 to the 135 2.8 and the 300mm 4.0. Of these, only the 100 2.8 has been sold - great lens, but the 135 works better for me. I've recently done a comparison of the 50mm with the new Oly 45 - it compares very well (search this...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 45mm f1.8 Image Thread

    A variety pack from NH... Thanks for this thread, Ray. Here are a few I took this past weekend visiting a college buddy, Peter, in NH. The 45 was on most the time...followed by the 14 Panny. Locations are: woodworking shop, Falling Waters Trail near Mt Lafayette, home garden...

    Micro 4/3 Comparison of new Oly 45mm f1.8 with OM 50 1.4

    Are you using a hood? For this test I was careful to eliminate any stray light from side angles. However, contrast wide open often suffers when stray light is present - with flare when it's strong. Hence my decision to get a hood!

    Micro 4/3 Comparison of new Oly 45mm f1.8 with OM 50 1.4

    Yes. Although I have compared both at f2 and I believe the OM still has the edge in 'buttery-ness' They're so close, it's not that great a concern to me. If you have an interest, I'll post the two Master shots at f2.

    Micro 4/3 Comparison of new Oly 45mm f1.8 with OM 50 1.4

    Here is my line up of 'portrait' lenses: L to R - Oly 45, Pen F 38mm f1.8, OM 50 f1.4 (no hood - yet!) I will be doing a similar comparison with the Pen, but in the meantime. Here are my thoughts: 1. The OM is the biggest and will be bigger when I have a proper hood on it. I hadn't...

    Micro 4/3 Comparison of new Oly 45mm f1.8 with OM 50 1.4

    I have compared my OM 50mm f1.4 with the new Oly 45 f1.8 using the following procedure: 1. Still life with relatively strong back light - composition at roughly portrait distance (5'). 2. MF on specific spot (center cactus tip) 3. Shots at all apertures (1.4/1.8, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11) -...

    Apple Aperture

    Good point, Dorf. Projects are where the photos reside (from a database point of view). I have yearly Folders with monthly Projects, which reflects the fact that I usually take about 200 'keepers'/month. Within the months I have Albums based on topic or event. Since Albums are just indexes...

    Apple Aperture

    I am a long time Aperture user. The only gripe I have is the noise reduction - close to useless. I use the nik plug-ins, but as noted previously, this creates a whole new file, which I prefer to avoid in favor of non-destructive approach. i'm hoping the Apple addresses this in Ap4 - LR is...

    The beaver pond is a constant source of surprises. Post storm the dam was damaged and the pond about 12" lower than usual. The surprise was that, rather than immediately rebuild the dam, the beavers built new lodges! When the water level changes, the underwater entry point becomes exposed...

    Micro 4/3 Love my E-P3 - high ISO, hand-held images at night...

    Thanks, Peter. I actually underexposed that last shot - pushed it up a full stop in PP. I believe that makes it ISO 12,800 equiv. doesn't it? In any case, I do think I'm seeing about a stop improvement compared to my E-P2, as you say. The first shot is properly exposed ISO 6400. Some hit...

    A little higher ISO...no RAW Inspired by Peter (and a review touting B&W as the way to go with high ISO, so hope you don't mind another experiment in high ISO... Went to another concert in the park last night. I had only my Oly 40-150 and needed the 'long end' (and higher f-stops). Failing...

    Micro 4/3 Love my E-P3 - high ISO, hand-held images at night...

    Great shots! The more I see of jpegs such as these (and my own) at high ISO, I wonder if playing with RAW (when Apple supports the E-P3) will be worth it. Especially in Aperture, it's a lot of effort to manage noise (I use the Nik plug-ins). The in-cam results are pretty darn good! RAW may...

    Fixed vs detachable EVFs

    With the new touch screen and built-in flash, E-P3 presents far fewer compromises than the E-P2. For example, I like the fact that I can keep the VF on and still use either built-in flash (fill) or trigger an external flash. I have found that even with my bad close vision, the OLED is now...

    Hello all! I have been perusing this site for some time. A lot of friends here whose camera journeys have led from m43 to 'serious compacts' of many stripes. It's a very exciting time to be into photography - and a 'gearhead'. :rolleyes: I am more of a regular at Micro Four Thirds User...
