I am not a macro photographer, but when I tested the OM SYSTEM 90mm lens I was surprised at how easy it was to photograph macro. By this I mean the technical side, AF, stacking, etc., not the actually creative part. That is still something the photographer has to do.

@im2p Жыл бұрын

Hi Micael, Olympus has already been in the times of film cameras revolutionary, when it came to macro photos. The ratio of 2:1 in MFT means in " Fullframe" 4:1. But you can combine the new 90mm Macro with the two Converters 1x4x and 2x. That means, you can reach easy 4:1 in MFT, what means 8:1 in 24x36!! With AF and Focus Stacking. You can also use Focus Bracketing with up to 100 Frames!! And with this function, you only scratch at the surface of all the possibilities of the OM-1. I photgraphed a hunting dragonfly with 50 frames/sec. with AF, which recognized the eye of the dragonfly! There is no 24x36 Camera, which could reach these functions. The dynamic range is about 12 stops! The top speed sre 120 frames/sec.. This combination beats everything in macro photography! And, if necessary, you can clean your camera with lens under your water tap. No problem!

Way too much diffraction at those magnifications even with wide aperture. Aps-c is a good middle ground for resolution and zoom. Canon R cameras have amazing built in focus stacking but require a tripod and takes too long with moving subjects.

@im2p Жыл бұрын

@@brodylockwood14I don't think so! With MFT you are much quicker in these extrem magnifications. If you take the 60mm Makro with a Rynox and Extension Tubes, you will get also an extrem Ratio with excellent results! With the new 90mm you don't need a Rynox and Extension Tubes. And you have a longer distance to your objekt. Believe me, they built excellent lenses! You have to except, that there is more than 24x36.

Great to see your professional review of the lens (and camera). Focus Stacking handheld out of camera works already with the 60mm macro. Hope the OIS increase the precision even further to get a sharp result out of camera. How do you sort & stack the photos taken with focus stacking? The focus is not linearly increasing distance in this mode. Hope you get another chance to test the system with the 2x Teleconverter attached to increase magnification further. Thanks for the review Micael!

You nailed it in your video! Most underrated feature in Olympus Cameras "the inbody focusstack"! ...and you dont have to go for the OM1 (even when it makes sense). I use the combination of the OM-D EM1 Mark III paired with the 60mm (occationaly I put a raynox 250 and some distance rings on to come realy close). Best flash for that (and i really recomend to give this a try) is the very affordable TT350 from Godox. There are the same reflectors available like you showed in your short video here. ...final conclution --- yes, it feels like cheating!

Olympus should be the first to have focus stacking built-in many years ago but now some cameras of other brands may have this feature too. M43 with its inherited greater depth of field has big advantage in macro photography compared with FF. I also consider Olympus's E-M1 mark II (maybe you can buy a used one as it is no longer produced) together with its 60mm macro lens should be the cheapest combination to get the similar experience and results.

@PhilThach Жыл бұрын

I also have my eye on an OM-1. Also, I am enjoying the 1.4x Canon 100mm autofocus macro lens. On the R7 APSC or the R6 markII full frame, it will focus stack in the camera. It outputs a JPG. You have to use the electronic shutter which does not work with flash on those cameras so it's best to do your handheld stack outdoors in great light or on a tripod with long shutter times. I've used this feature for light macro and landscape photography with some success. Using a lens that doesn't have much focus breathing helps. Great video as always Micael!

Makes doing lighting paintings and other shots so easy and fun. I wish Sony would do this, but I did read a rumor about a new A7iv firmware coming that will have in camera focus stacking. Would be the first camera ever from Sony to have that built-in

The only reason I carry a tripod now is just to preserve my position and composition for multiple shots when the light is changing, but most of the time I just use it hand held.

I'm surprised you flash would cycle anywhere near fast enough to keep up with the stacking sequence, but you don't say what frame rate that was. My Lumix G9 has an in camera stacking feature that's resolution-limited, plus a focus bracketing mode that I prefer to use for shooting stacks with raw files. Unfortunately, you can only get the best stabilization with an Olympus lens on an Olympus body. The Micro Four Thirds standard apparently didn't extend to having dual IS work on all bodies. So is this a $1600 lens, or a $3500 lens if you have to buy a camera body to extract it's full performance. I like working with my G9 and the Olympus 60mm macro. But I worry that with the extra working distance (a little camera motion amplified by the telephoto reach) and the extra magnifcation that the 90mm would be very usable on my G9. I'd only get lens IS, not dual IS as the OM1 provides.

If people would actually take the time to research systems they would know that the OM-1 is a pretty amazing photographic tool. The built in ND filters, the AI focus tracking, focus stacking, starry auto focus and my favorite live composite. I have a friend who shot nikon dslr who has wanted to get into light painting. He was blown away by my live composite feature. He made the switch..... to Nikon Z system and still cannot light paint to save his life. lol

Has anyone switched from Canon to Olympus? I had an Olympus point and shoot camera some 15 years ago that was pretty good already for that category and had better macro capabilities than other brands I tried at the time. But then I got a Canon T6 in 2018 and have been using that with the old Canon 100mm USM (hand-held). Some pictures are sharp but there’s no IS either on the camera or lens so I have to take 10-15 pictures before I’m happy with one. I also have the Zuiko 50mm f/1.2 (from the 70’s maybe) that is a great lens in many ways but I’m not a big fan of the colours. I suppose the 60mm has similar colours. Still, I do wonder if I’d be better off switching to Olympus. Do you guys think an intermediate micro 4/3 Olympus Camera combined with the 60mm would give me sharper results than my set up right now? Then I could upgrade to this new 90mm which seems so impressive. On the other hand, Olympus cameras seem heavy in comparison which will make it harder for a short woman like me to take sharp pictures hand-held. What do you think?

An Oly flash will control the stacking speed, and not fire unless the flash is ready. I have the old FL50R (too heavy for macro) and FL600R (smaller and more nimble). Generally, I have the flash in my left hand (connected with a cord) and the camera in my right. I suggest the current mid range flash FL700WR.

Trust me, the only reason you are getting any focus stacking 'fails' is because of your movement during the exposures. If the camera is placed on a tripod the focus stacking works every time in my experience. Obviously, your subject and shooting circumstances will dictate whether you can use a tripod. If you don't want to (or can't) tripod mount your camera, then you need to simply work on your holding technique to be as steady as possible while the camera is doing the stacking exposures. It's an amazing feature that really produces stunning results.

Of course I tested with the camera steady on a tripod or supported on a table as well. Did not affect the fail rate.

@@MicaelWidell Interesting. When it fails, it is pretty much always due to camera or subject movement that renders shot to shot alignment impossible. It must have to do with the lens itself, as I have a number of other Olympus lenses that offer in-camera focus stacking -- 30mm f/3.5 macro, 60mm f/2.8 macro, 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro, 12-100mm f/4 Pro, and 100-400mm f5-6.3 -- none of them fail focus stacking if on a tripod, assuming a subject that is not moving in the wind, etc. Perhaps it has something to do with the insanely shallow DOF of the 90mm -- or maybe there will be a firmware update in the future to improve the function.

He was using a Meike 320 which is smaller and cheaper than the Godox 350. I like his idea of setting the duration of 1/10 sec between flashes- something I hadn’t thought of trying. Think I’ll give that a go before splashing out on an Olympus flash.

Will it combine the images in camera as well?

@ZNavy Жыл бұрын

A7rv will not combine images in camera, you set the camera to take bracketed focus images at will take a raw images that can be stacked in apps like Photoshop. Please correct me if I’m wrong but if it’s stacked in camera it will be in jpg format.

I would not call that focus "stacking" what the Sony does. It is only "bracketing" ie taking a series of pictures with different focus planes. OMD (aka Olympus) cameras are doing the "stacking" within the camera right after finishing the "bracketing". And yes, the results are JPEG, but you have the RAWs as well in case you want to manually redo the stacking with your favorite stacking program.

OM1 makes 40 fps bracketing sequences with a fast lens. That makes ha dheld stacks of 40 shots and more possible.
