What is your favourite micro four thirds lens? (Tiny or otherwise!)

@allVishal Жыл бұрын

Recently got a Ttartisan 25mm f2 for my EM5 mk2. Really surprised by the quality of it, and it's cheap! Manual focus fun.

@jarihuikari8921 Жыл бұрын

M.Zuiko 30mm f3.5 macro lens (which is very lightweight.) Others are Sigma 60mm f2.8 (which is very sharp) and Samyang 300mm f6.3 Reflex lens (which is very tiny for that much focal length. It's a little difficult to focus precisely, but it's very enjoyable lens, at least for weird photographers like me.)

Close call. The 20mm is more versatile, but I love the Oly 45mm for portraits... Those two. Other than that, I have a Pana 14-45mm (very sharp but a bit heavy for my taste) plus an old Oly 40-150mm that I've never used. I'm interested in the 12-32mm but also in the Panaleica 15mm ...

Fun video, really highlighting the benefits of M4/3 lenses for everyday use. I bought the Lumix 20mm and 14mm used many years ago from a guy who was clearing out his M4/3 gear. I paid around $250 for both and they have paid me back in spades. I also did a strangers project on Flickr and many of my portraits were taken with the Olympus 45mm, the results were always very satisfying. I really enjoy your channel Emily, all the best from a Scouser in Canada.

I recently went to Rome, and found that the Lumix 12 to 32mm lens is a belter for both interior and street photography. It is definitely my new favourite lens, although I do love the Lumix 25mm F1.7, it tended to be used far less than I thought it would. I also found that the Olympus 9mm F8 Body Cap lens was great fun (and very small).

Going to Rome in September and considering leaving my 25mm at home and just taking the 12-32 and the 45mm - just wondering if you brought a longer zoom and if so did you use it much? Thank you!

@@rebeccamaher7850 Yes I took a Lumix Vario 14 to 45mm f3.5-5.6 Mega OIS which I used a couple of times on Palatine Hill, but that was all. I also took an older Lumix Vario 45 to 200mm f4-5.6 Mega OIS which did not use at all as it does weigh a bit more than other lenses (although there were some shots which would have benefited from this lens), I don't think I will travel with it in future, but I would consider something around the 100mm mark if it is light weight. the other lens that was used a fair amount was the Lumix 25mm f1.7 which was great for indoor shots as the wide aperture did cut the potential noise issue. I think that a fast wide angle for indoor use would be great (I like the look of the 14mm!).

I've only started my endeavor into micro four thirds several months ago, thanks to the introduction of the 90 macro which compelled me to go with an OM-1. Also added the Pen F for a second camera. I have the first three lenses on your list. 🙂I really like the M.Zuiko 30 macro for a small lens. However, my favorite lens is one of the bigger ones, the M.Zuiko 40-150 f2.8 on the OM-1 paired with one of the three of the tiny lenses on the Pen F.

@chriscracknell1593 17 күн бұрын

My Olympus 17mm was on my camera when it was hit by a large stone falling several hundred meters on (yes!) Mount Olympus last summer. It still works though the manual focus clutch ring can't be engaged at the moment. Basically, the lens and the OM1 hanging around my neck served as very expensive body armour protecting me from the actual stone strike. The Camera body works fine, though with some scars and a bit of scraping to get the lens-removal button moving freely again. So, I endorse the durability of this lens.

Hi Emily, I recently bought the Panasonic 35-100/4.0-5.6 for the reasons you mentioned and you are going to love it. I often pair it with the PL 15/1.7 and PL 25/1.4 which results in just a 10mm gap between each lens. Love your channel by the way ❤

So glad I found your channel! I think you are highlighting what I love about the m43 ecosystem: small size and low weight mean I am enjoying my camera a lot more and taking it with me a lot more. I just don't have to think about it. I love the line-up for this video and I agree with most of what you said. I think focal length is also a matter of personal taste so my top pick is the 14mm. It's perfection, to me.

I'm so glad there's still someone on KZfaq who appreciates truly small camera gear. Maybe if you keep driving up prices of 2nd hand tiny M43 gear Pana/Oly will take notice and focus on small gear again... can always hope :) 14, 20, and 12-32 is my travel kit (with a GX850)

The oly 17mm is a lens I would really like to have. But you're right, it's pricey. And I have the panleica 15mm f1.7, which is a fantastic lens. So I cant justify getting the oly when its about the same focal length, almost. As for compact zooms, I have had two of the 12-32's but have sold them both. I actually prefer the oly 14-42 pancake because I can turn the camera one with one hand. The Lumix one, you have to turn the lens for it work --- needing two hands just to turn the camera on. I have two kids, a 6 month old and an almost three year old --- having two hands to handle a camera is just a luxury I unfortunately do not have 🤣

It's not optically wonderful but it's way better than anything my smartphone can achieve and I can always have it with me. GX880, 14mm f2.5 and the 35-100 and i'm sorted for the day.

I have the Lumix 12-32mm and the Lumix 35-100mm. Great lenses and very compact. For people who consider the Olympus 45mm lens, there is also a similar lens from Lumix, i.e., the 42.5mm F1.7. It is quite small, and has very good optics with a small minimal focusing distance, so it can be used as a semi-macro lens, if a proper macro is not at hand.

I've got the cheap 12-32 and 35-100, a great pair for an outing with good light. I usually then add the Lumix 25mm 1.7 to my bag. It's small and light, albeit not super tiny. The actual tiny lens that get's the most use from me is the Laowa 9mm f2.8. Fully manual, built like a tank, rectilinear and tack sharp.

I was struggling to decide how to upgrade having 35-100 and stock 12-32. Went for PL 25mm f/1.4 and I love it. If there's anything else I would like to hoard right now it's probably PL 9mm f/1.7. Both of these lenses qualify as compact, and while there are even smaller alternatives I personally think that they are worth mention as they excel in some areas.

I also have the same 3 lenses. 😆 I can bring the 3 of them everywhere, the 12-32 is stuck on the camera by default. If I want to take farther object, switch to the 35-100mm. It's quite sharp on the far end. If it's get dark, or I want to take portrait shoot, use the 25mm.

One of my favourite lenses is the Chroma Camera 24mm f11 for l39 mount. With a cheap adapter it falls into the same category as the Olympus body cap lenses but is a much tighter fov which is super interesting for this type of lens. It also covers up to full frame if you have any cameras with a larger sensor or a film rangefinder.

After trying out a number of lenses I settled for the 12-32 and the 35-100 as my "do everything" kit.

My Nikon gear mostly stays at home now as I can't be arsed to cart all that weight around.

When I bought a used OM-D E-M5 Mark II the nifty nittle PZ pancake 14-42 zoom was included with it. No IS in it of course, since it's intended for an Olympus body that already has it. But really sharp nice results and love the motorized action with automatic extension/retraction over the manual two handed action on the otherwise really nice 12-32 (own two o those, silver and black, lol). Plus having a manual focusing ring in this super compact package is really really great for situatuons when the focus needs a helping hand. Only thing that takes a bit getting used to is the opposite turning direction of zooms Olympus vs Panasonic.

To add to the list here, I also like the Oly 12-45 f4. I also have the 12-40 2.8, but for the f4 balances better on smaller cameras like my gx85. It also fits better in my smaller travel bag with the 17mm and either 25 or 45 1.8s. One small zoom and two small bright primes.

Be sure to check out the risespray fully manual lenses! I personally like the 35mm 1.6 the best, but I also have the 50mm 1.8 now (which is a bit hazy but it is absolutely tiny). These lenses are super cheap, but the 35mm for me just has a vintage quality that I don't find on many other contemporary lenses, especially for the price.

I am using 3 out of 6 of these lenses as well ... the Lumix 12-32, Lumix 14mm and the Lumix 35-100mm :) Still am thinking about the 20mm but until now I couldn't convince myself as I also own the Lumix 25mm and love the photos I get with it.

Congratulations on your channel. I have to say that I quite agree with you. I have those lenses and I like them all. My order could be: 1.- M.Zuiko 17mm f1.8, 2.- M.Zuiko 12mm f2, 3.- M.Zuiko 25mm 1.8, 4.- Lumix 20mm 1.7, 5.- Lumix 14mm 2.5, 6.- M.Zuiko 45mm 1.8 (although for portraits it would rise to number one). In a different league are the Lumix 12-32mm (I like it much more than the 14-42 from Olympus) and the Lumix 35-100 with a tiny size (excellent all-metal construction).

Of the ones you featured, I have the 12-32 & 20mm f1.7, love them both. I also have 2 others I also love, the LUMIX 14-42 pancake power zoom & Olympus 13-42 pancake zoom.

The Panasonic 20mm lived on my camera and went everywhere with me, until I got the Olympus 17mm, which is now mv go-everywhere lens. I love that focus clutch far more than I hate it. The 17mm came on holiday with me along with an Oly 12-40, but most of my photos were with the 17, because it's so unintrusive.

I'm new to the M4/3 systems, so thus far, I only have the two lenses that came with my kit: a Lumix 12-32 and 45-100. With my old full-frame Canon, I have loads of lenses. My most-used is a Sigma 28-80, but my favorite for that camera is a 50mm pancake.

My favorite is the Panasonic Leica 15mm f1.7. My second is 1st kit lens you talked abiut. An amazing lens.

The 14mm/2.5 sits most of the time on my G80. I have used it a lot. I started into MFT with a GF1, the 14-45mm/3.5-5.6 the 14mm and the 20mm. The idea was to have a small second camera together with the Nikon DSLR. I liked it so much, that I retired the Nikon.

@pavelperina7629 10 ай бұрын

Same, GF1->G5->G80 and then I realized I liked GF1 with 20mm the most and bought Fuji X100V which is similar, but with tilt screen, view finder, closer minimal distance and 10 years newer technology. I never liked 14-45mm, maybe I had a bad piece and one side always seemed a bit out of focus. Nowadays I'm using 12-60/f3.5-5.6 on G80 most of the time and 45-150 in a camera bag.

The Panny Leica 15mm is my favorite lens ever possibly….amazing character

@orangorill Жыл бұрын

While I own the 14mm and a couple of the little zooms, my day to day kit is the 17mm and the 45mm. Not the smallest, but small enough, bright enough and versatile enough. If there's space in the bag I might bring the 75mm.

Thank you for this video. I currently have 2 of those, the Oly 45 f1.8 and the Lumix 20mm f 1.7, and I've had the Lumix 14mm before (but the cat dropped the camera from the shelf and dented the attached UV filter which made it impossible to remove. Love how the 14mm got more than perfect scores in the Tiny and Cheap ratings. Looking forward to your review of 3rd party lenses. I wonder if you'll get to review the latest 7artisans 18mm f6.3 lens that could, easily, be included as a tiny lens. Cheers!

GM1 owner here, you should definitely try to obtain a 70mm 2.8 lens for 110 system :) The swirl can be annoying at times but the lens is super sharp and looks stunning !

@jimstirling7223 Жыл бұрын

@@alifnor The L mount cameras all look a bit large so pancake lenses would look a bit out of place. Something like the Sony A7C with say the the Samyang 35mm F/2.8 would be a compact option , the Samyang is tiny , inexpensive and a very decent performer. Though Sony ergonomics etc where not for me
