Product Information

But this chunky yet competent backpack doesn't have a killer feature or look that makes it stand out from some pretty tough competition. The image stabilization is NOT a replacement for tripod, and I should have emphasized that I do not encourage hand-held shooting at dangerously slow shutter speeds. Sony is bringing a shutter angle setting to its two more affordable alpha-branded Cinema Line cameras, the FX3 and FX30, with a firmware update. We're as guilty as anyone of getting excited about shiny new gear and features, but let's not lose sight of the gear we already have by our side. On the wider end of things, the 12-100mm is more than a match for the 20MP sensor in the E-M1 Mark II even at F4.

Both the first sample I had of it and the second showed a very blurred or ghosted left side of the frame, worse in the lower left corner, Where it was almost impossible to see what was going on there, just blur. From the article I cited above: “Consequently, equivalence theory can be used to help choose an appropriate camera system for a given task.On a smaller camera like the E-M5 or E-M10 it’s going to be really front heavy, but the E-M5 combined with a battery grip is a perfect match. So the mft setup is half as heavy, overall smaller in size, easier to handle due to 50/50 weight distribution. Then there’s the frazzled bokeh of the leaves in the kookaburra shot and the second pic of the woman. While I was perfectly fine using the Olympus 12-100mm F4 Pro on an E-M1 Mark II body, I cannot say the same for other smaller Micro Four-Thirds cameras. I will have to say this right up front that the Olympus 12-100mm f/4 Dual IS is the best super zoom I’ve ever used.

No, it originated from "The Olympus distorts at the wide end with the built in correction software turned off.Nonetheless, you are right, there should be some compromises and minor flaws there and here, considering how ambitious the lens is. This setting, for example, in combination with the Olympus E-M1X or E-M1 III bodies captures sharp photos even at times of around 10 – 15 seconds. or micro four thirds formats if the additional photographic capability of a larger format such as APS-C or 35-mm full-frame will rarely be utilized in practice. Literally its only weakness is high geometric distortion for RAW files which few people care about as the camera or Lightroom corrects it.
