Before more people asked how come this review was done with E-M1 Mark III which I have given away, it took me a few weeks to shoot at various locations, collecting enough good photographs (not just meagre, ordinary looking shots), made a few vlogs on my second channel and shooting a few paid jobs with the lens (though not many shots, as I do events) before I can make my conclusions and do this video. I just got the OM-1 last week. And yes I do my videos and schedule them up in advance. I actually do have many, many other things happening in my life like shooting for jobs, in contrary to what some would erroneously assume that I do KZfaq full time.

This has became a permanent fixture on one of my cameras. The other one mostly has a Zuiko 25mm f/1.8. I shoot live music in quite small venues, so I am often really close to the bands and this gives a great perspective, or I can get most of the stage in with the whole band. And, of course, the wide aperture is essential. The close focussing is great when I'm shooting fungi, especially big ones, where can get in really close and shoot the whole of the undersides from the ground upwards. OM System and Olympus missed a trick not bringing out a similar lens. The 8mm f/1.8 is almost twice the price and fisheye, even if it can be corrected.

@robinwong Жыл бұрын

Yeah and the 8mm fisheye cannot take filters. After defishing you do lose some resolution due to crop and the edges with pixel stretching, the images won't be as good as the 9mm.

OM and Pany use different cut off points on the filter over the lens. OM puts a filter in the lens coating. When I used the 15 which did the same thing, I got a UV2A filter which corrected this. Most UV filters are UVA. Thte atricle that explained tihs and gave the wave lengths or frequencies is no longer available. Hard to find good UV2@A filters so I got film and put it on the back on the lens. My G9 never had fringing while my EM1 mk3 would have it. If you use a Olympus lens and a Panasonice lens to take the the same phoot with an OM camera, you will notice the Oly lens is slightly coooler than the Pany because of the lens UV coating differences.

That is a interesting tidbit of info! Thanks for sharing. I have been at it with Lumix bodies and lenses, but am pondering swapping out the bodies with Oly ones. The Lumix/P-L lenses are more to my liking than the Oly ones, and I have a rather large collection of them, so this may be very valuable to keep at it with Lumix/P-Ls.

I have tested Panasonic 8-18mm, 12-60mm and 12mm F1.4 on Panasonic GH4 and G9. Same purple fringing issue, and also some purple haze with the 12mm shooting wide open. I don't think this has anything to do with filters, there is something wrong with the lens optical design. I have not tested the 9mm on any Panasonic bodies so I cannot confirm this. I can say that the general understanding of Panasonic lenses having less purple fringing on Panasonic bodies, well, based on my own tests, not so true!

@8thom00 Жыл бұрын

@@robinwong i think this has by now become more of an urban legend as people still refer to the older threads on forums when Olympus processors (I think up until the E-M5) were not compensating for fringing. Yet, I’m curious to try with a stronger filter as suggested above.

My 14mm lense is still a bit too close up/zoomed in on me for my liking, based on the distance/position the camera has to be placed, within the boundaries of my set up and desk space. I take it this 9mm lense would be ideal and 'push me back' further? Forvige my ignorance, as I'm a noob for this stuff but I assume this has no zoom capabilities and is fixed?

Thanks a lot for your effort and this great video Robin. As a professional photographer: what would you do - I'm struggling between the laowa 6mm or 7.5mm or even this 9mm panaleica. The AF is a great benefit and the 9mm is faster. But what about the field of view? The 7.5 and especially the 6mm offer so much more field of view. I'm going to use the lens on my panasonic g9 for stills and video. Mostly nature, street and cars. Sometimes in low light situations. How would you decide? Field of view over AF and faster aperture? And is the lack of AF really a problem in real life?

About the lens... it's a pity they didn't come out with it 5 or 6 years ago. I bought the 8mm f1.8 Pro years ago. It's a fisheye, I know, but with the live defishify option on OM-D cameras, I find that lens more versatile than the Panny 9mm. Though it shares a similar fast aperture and insane close focusing, it also has weather-sealed and a better build.

I have the M.Zuiko 8mm f1.8 semi fisheye prime, which can be easily defished in camera. However, I love its barrel distortion, and the extreme effects it creates used normally. It has a bulletproof metal construction. I bought it for around £450, or, say, $550 as a replacement for the wonderful manual Samyang 7.5 f3.5 mainly for the larger aperture and AF. Its biggest problem is the slightly vulnerable, bulging front optic which the Leica doesn't have.. I notice that the latter is being sold for a similar price but brand new.

The Olympus Fisheye is larger and definitely much heavier, with no option to attach filters directly. If I want to buy the Olympus fisheye I would use it as a fisheye lens, I would not bother correcting it. By "de-fishing" you lose a lot of resolution by cropping into the center and the pixel stretching at the edges also causes more pixel degradation.

F1.7 is F1.7, there is nothing wrong with that, as it describes the light gathering ability (aperture, opening of the lens, there is a formula). What you are referring to is depth of field (I am assuming) and that is a completely different thing. Whether you like it or not, full frame is the reference, and for field of view, 9mm in micro four thirds is 18mm in full frame.

They are both different lenses. Laowa is 6mm, which is so much wider than 9mm. If you need as wide as possible, then 6mm is a must have, but also if you don't need that wide of a lens, it can be troublesome to use as it fits everything, and in this case 9mm is easier to handle. And 9mm has AF. Both lenses are made for very different uses.
