- SMALL Micro Four Thirds Lenses that weigh nothing, many of which still create nice blurry backgrounds and image quality as good as the big heavy lenses!
12-32mm kit Lumix $180 tiny cheap backup lens to always have along
15mm f1.7 Lumix Leica $550 great vlogging lens
17mm f1.8 Olympus $400 I really like this one! Some blurry background

25mm f1.4 Lumix $670 nice blurry backgrounds but I like the smaller 1.8 more

Here's the winner of the Lumix 42.5mm f1.2 lens th-cam.com/video/APYfgYuBpTc/w-d-xo.html
I'm just so glad to see someone who got the money but not turning into a snob, furthermore sharing some of it with others, just being natural, giving tips and advice to the other of us who can't afford to buy everything to see if it was worth it or not.
It just makes me happy.
I have seen so many other "nouveau riche" types turning into snobs who say "it has to be that ultra-mega expensive thing", whether it be Purdey shotguns for $110,000 or Raymond Weil wristwatches, or as in this case photography equipment.
Keep the videos coming; I'll be watching...
OMG IM 1 YEAR LATE! but you know what, im not late to these knowledge and sharing. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS so noobs like me can fast track our learning process. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I wish I could give you something but your currency is already much bigger than mine and your gears can shoot a trex.
Thank you, keep making these videos.

Hard to beat that Leica 15mm f1.7 :)
Smallie but goodie 😊
It's the perfect lens for street photography on a smaller M43 camera. You can shoot unobtrusively and get great results.
yeap, it's a great lens. There is trio of 15mm, 25mm and 42,5mm Leicas sharing very similar signature. BTW I own DJI Lens, which is a rebrended 15mm 1,7.
...and monkey strength not required. :D
@@MarkusPix that’s what she said
Hard to beat m4/3 in terms of size, and quality. Part of my switch to m4/3 was inspired by your videos talking about size and weight savings. Now the rebuilding continues! Thanks again for taking the time to prove that size doesn't/does matter!
I think you've just helped sell a lot of those 45mm f1.8 Olympus M Zuiko lenses! Very cool video, thanks again! :)
Thanks Markus! This helps me to no end. I have been researching for weeks to figure out a small good quality M4/3 camera that I can pack in my moto touring gear. You are obviously a great hearted guy and your knowledge is very helpful.
As someone who's learning as I go this is soooooo helpful, thank you for sharing this. I'm now going to binge watch you and hopefully learn most of what I need to know.
I LOVE the way you leave things on the screen actually long enough for me to see/compare things. Other 'content provider's often leave me cursing while I have to hit the 'back' button all too often. Thank you.
Love the way you show we don't need big expensive cameras or lenses to tell a story or capture an award winning image. The best camera is always the one you have with you! I've taken some of my best images on a smartphone because I had it with me. Look forward to what's next! Thx for all you do 👍
You are a awesome person. Loved the moment you've decided to give away the 42.5mm. It showed the real good person you are.
At the same time your videos are giving me a lot of informations without the need to go elsewhere to learn much more informations about it.
Thank you so much.
Ah I am a new subscriber 🙏🙏🙏
Loved your positive attitude and presentation! My favorite travel combo is the Oly 9-18mm, Pana 12-32mm and the nimble 17/1.8 for low light. With an Olympus camera and their FL-LM3 flash, there's little one will miss for casual photography. There still remains the perfect light for video, which remains to be invented.
You are the best!! I’d love to have your mind and talent. I’m learning so much!! THANK YOU!!!
Once I started comparing the weight and size of my M50 and adapted lenses to m4/3, I stopped looking into new lenses for the M50. After a year, I just started making the switch and love it.
Great comparisons. 20mm Panny is my go to lens for street and travel. Hard to beat for size, price, and sharpness
Thank you for teaching me! I am a beginner at photography and even though I've researched and read a lot the last few years, you're the absolute best of showing what's actually important. I've been binging your videos for 2 days, thank you so much, you're a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing it! :)
Ciao Markus, I completely agree with you. I love the m 4/3 system for its lightness and portability and especially the Zuiko 45mm f1.8!
Awesome video, Marcus! Thank you for sharing your insights. You've helped me better capture family moments we can never get back. Based on this video and a couple of your others, I picked up a GM1 and three of the lenses you recommended here to better pursue my photography hobby. I'm a novice and originally bought a Nikon D5600, but frankly found myself leaving it home for special events and vacation trips because of the systems' size. Also, I picked up a Canon Vixia camcorder (based on your camcorder video) in time to catch my three girls open their Christmas presents. Right tool for the job! Thanks again for all you do for the photography community!
I love how you push thrift and practicality. Its a relief as the litany of choice is overwhelming. I get anxious trying to put together my kit. Every part is so expensive and I don't want to make a mistake. Videos like yours help a lot.
Thanks. I like to keep things simple
I hope the 42.5 you gave away is giving someone a lot of joy. It is one of those I wish I had it type lenses and had I seen this video back in May I would have applied for it. Sometimes small is best, but when a lens has special character I don’t mind extra weight at all. This has to be the best overview of small MFT lens options on the internet. I always appreciate your focus on practicality Markus. Not enough reviewers spend enough time in the real world as you do.
I like that you focus on practicality. Great video.
Great video, Markus! I'm on the Sony APS-C line, but the images from these M4/3 cameras and lenses are awesome!
You're awesome! Thanks for doing these types of videos. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in having the "best equipment" when the waaaaay cheaper lenses do almost the exact same job. Thanks Markus! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching!
Those were really useful, practical comparisons. It will help me and a lot of others choose between some of these lenses.
❤i love your very educational videos Marcus and I really enjoy my micro4/3 Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera, I learned a lot from you specially about the lighting and audio processing and I'll continue following you Marcus and thank you so much for your work!❤❤❤
Really did helped. It was great to see all those lens compared in a single video. Thanks a lot Marcus. 👍
I subscribed to your channel watch all the way from Trinidad and Tobago.
I must say in under a week you have thought me so much. I appreciate your knowledge. Thank you 🇹🇹
This is excellent. Markus - you constantly make me rethink everything!!
Yay! My evil plan is working! 😄
When I am tempted to buy a lens, I always come to your channel for reality checks. Thank you.
I bought the Olympus M. Zuiko 45mm 1.8 and it quickly became my go-to lens. Light and small... yes. However, mine is pleasantly sharp and the bokeh is strong enough to create a nice separation. Great video, by the way. I love the A-B comparison of moderately priced lens versus kinda-pricey lens. When you see them back to back - it makes sense. Thanks for the work you put into the video.
yes the 45 is my most favorite M43 lens. I have three of them
Thanks for what you do! Please keep the small camera and lens content coming!!!
Love your style, great content and quality.
Thanks Markus! You make among the most inspiring videos of my many, many subscriptions on TH-cam!!
Greetings from Sweden from me and my GM1!!!
Wow, thanks!
I completely agree about the size! I wish I had made this video. Great job at showing people all those lenses, one after the other. I have a Olympus PL-9 and would love a chance to win the 42.5. Again, you're so generous!
That's it: another awesome video for lens comparison! Love you guys. See ya, blue skies, take care 🤙🏻🍀📸
Just bought a Panasonic GM1 so thanks for this explanation on these lenses.
Great video. I use the 20mm Panny, 45mm Oly, and the 12-32mm kit lens on a GX85, primarily.
I love your passion for photography & video. I just recently got into m43, and I have to agree the point is to have small, fun, compact interchangeable lens cameras. Nice videos man!
Great video as always. Many thanks for the wisdom Markus. Best wishes and happy shooting 🙏
This video is wonderful! Now i know what M43 lenses to own!
Great comparison of the M43 lenses very useful thanks. Those f1.8 Olympus lenses are excellent value. I hope Panasonic comes out with another rangefinder style camera similar to the GX8 just a bit smaller. The GX9 didn't cut the mustard they cut too many corners.
WoW! I was one step from sell my whole Panasonic M43 system and switch to Sony.
Right now I`m thinking about buy gx850 and a few lenses to create my pocket backup setup :)
Thank You Marcus and greetings form Poland.
Awesome video Markus. I was just looking for prime lenses to improve my videos, and photos, so it was cool to see you review my kit lens, and the 42.5mm Panasonic lens. Thanks.
Really impressed.
Studying media in TAFE
I have learnt so much here.💕
Every time I watch this video I get re-inspired 😊
So great to come across someone who also enjoys and appreciates the compactness of MFT. I'm 40 years a pro' photographer, naturally working with superb but big Nikon or Canon DSLRS, and got into Lumix kit 10 years ago because it's size and weight(lessness) made me smile and gave me freedom, freedom!! Less is more!
Well said!
Love your videos man! #Subscribed. Love your comparisons of all the different gear. That is so helpful to me to help decide what to get for different purposes. Like some things for live streaming, versus all the different types of photography. Even camcorders can work great for streaming because most sports are streamed 1080p or 1080i
Thanks for share your expertise mate.
Thanks for this video, you are so on point with all your comments. I get so tired of thinking we have to go more expensive, or bigger to be a good photographer.
So true!
Great review of all those lenses.
I already have the Nocticron, love it. But, you're not wrong about your choices. The Leica 15mm is also amazing. Small is beautiful. Thank you for another informative video.
One of the best, practical, photography gear reviews I've seen in a very long time. Nice job!
Glad you liked it!
@@MarkusPix Does the Panasonic 15mm aperture ring work on the GX1? I saw you had it mounted to it in another video. I've watched your health and wellness videos for years and have greatly enjoyed them. I was pleasantly surprised to see you doing camera reviews. I don't know why I didn't see your channel sooner. 😊
Terrific comparison. Thank you!
My go to lens is the 45mm too, just a fantastic little lens. Started using thr 25mm lumix of late but it doesn't make me go wow like thr Olympus 45mm does. Great video 👍
Great video Marcus, your completely on point regarding size and weight.
This is very helpful! I just bought the 45mm 1.8
My first 4/3 was a GX85 two lens kit. Then I added an Olympus EPL-7 which is my grab and go camera. I like my Sony A6000 for APS-C. Seldom use my older DSLR's anymore. I prefer the smaller stuff like you. Another great video. Thanks.
Great point. I have the Pana 20mm 1.7 with GH5. Shooting is whole lot of fun and sharp.
Most camera/tech TH-camrs repeat the same new product marketing guff because their depth of practical knowledge is lacking and they don't want to stray from the consensus.
Your videos stand out because you use your years of experience where I'm sure you've seen countless trends and fads come and go to give us straight, simple and practical advice.
You give credit where its due to some pieces of expensive kit yet you're happy to bust myths with regards to using much cheaper equipment while still achieving great results.
As a fellow TH-camr who works on a tight equipment budget, I'm really glad I've come across your channel and keep up the great work. 👍🏾
Thanks. Yeah since I dont need the money I dont monetize and follow trends. I just do what I want
I just bought the Lumix 25mm f 1.7 lens. Absolutely love it!
Agree it is an excellent “fast” lens. However for street photography, you just cannot beat the tiny Lumix 12-32mm lens because of the built in lens stabilization coupled with the excellent IBIS on the GX85 make this combo a winner for walk around photography.
This is a beautiful lens. I own one. And it is not cheap. My assistant and I call it the sexy lens. Congrats to the winner. You will love it.
Thank you for your video. Down to earth with helpful comparisons.
My pleasure!
Great vid! I'd throw my name in for the Nocticron but I sold mine for the same reason you're giving yours away. The 14mm is another good lens and next to the body caps, the smallest in the system. I really wish Panasonic would bring back the GM5, mine is showing it's age... and I agree the GX85 is too big to replace it.
I am happy that you give the prices. I am a Newbe .I have Learned so much from your Channel. Keep up the good work.
Prices change all the time though
Very educational, makes one think . Thanks . You did a great job . I have the 45mm Olympus lens and its sharp as hell .
I love these little guys!
Great list of lense, and thanks for sharing.
Fantastic - thank you.
Good video. Very useful comparisons.
Very informative much to think about. Thank you.
Markus, Thanks for the recommendation on the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 lens. I love the look of this lens. I bought one and was blown away.
And it's so tiny! It autofocusses super fast
lol it always makes me laugh how easily you give free stuff.great channel!
I love compact setups like this
Just found your channel recently... I am strictly a 4/3's shooter, Olympus... but I enjoy your outlook on equipment... thanks again for a interesting video!
Learning every day from your channel!
This was FUN to watch!
Great vid. Thanks for the Panasonic love. Still rocking my GH4
Great video
I like 4/3 lens as I find great deals without too much effort. My Zuiko 45mm cost me $207. My 17mm f2.8 pancake was $123. Simply better bang for the buck than APS-C and full frame glass. Thanks for another great review. May look for a Lumix 14-42mm next.
I have a Lumix GM5. I prefer the size of the GM5 over my Olympus EM1 Mark II, but I love the controls and 5 axis image stabilization of the Olympus. I can take night shots hand-held at ISO 200. I bought it used for $650 and couldn't be happier. I showed a friend with a newer full-frame Nikon DSLR some of the night shots zoomed-in and he couldn't get over the images and size and weight of the Olympus.
Wow you got a lot of cameras - btw I love your day in the life videos, those are like vlogs I guess but they are some of my favourite videos of yours :)
Glad you like them!
This video was so helpful!!! thank you!! :)
Man I love your style of videos. 👍
This is gold content!
Love the attitude dude, this is absolutely what attracted me to M43. I got a GX85 which was smaller than my DSLR but since I’ve wanted to go smaller and smaller. Got a GM1 and am looking for a GM5 if I can find one… Love the comparisons between the equivalent lenses
I use Olympus camera to because of the smaller size. and use a 50 mm manual lens and love the small size. I also love your reviews, you are so down to earth guy.
Damn I love the presentation in this video! Love the energy, I’m reminded of why I love M43 now. Also I appreciate the amount of editing that went into this.
I like the small lenses just for walking around photography. The lumix 20mm is nice and give bright colors. I just picked up the 15mm Leica branded lens and need to test it out this weekend.
I'm not a professional, I'd like to go pro, but I lack too much experience for that. But, I chose M43 because they are small and compact and still take great pictures.
Thanks for your videos, you always learn.
Well done and very informative.
That 75 is so gorgeous. All that glass!! I have the 45. It's miniscule. If I want a lens that length (75mm+) I get an adapter and put on my old OM system 85mm f/2 which is only about the same size as an old SLR standard lens!
As a relatively-new Panasonic shooter, this is really cool. So far, I've gotten lots of use from the surpisingly weather resistant 12-60 Panasonic kit lens.
I'm a longtime m43 shooter with a full set of lenses, including the 2.8 zooms. I'll tell you that the 12-60 kit lens is a tremendous value and very, very useful.
As always great video.
I own a gh4 with 2 lens one is a wide lens 14 mm and a portrait nocticron 42.5mm.
Yes the the 42.5 is big but I don't mind lugging it around
Great video. I have a Panasonic G85. Good information here along with accompanying examples. Stay safe!
Nice for you to showcase micro four thirds in this day and age. Almost everybody are going to full frame cameras. I previously own a micro four thirds (now a Fuji user), and I miss its portability. I also miss that 45mm f1.8. The lens is very little, but outputs sharp images.
You are such an amazing human!
I loved this. Like you, I'm not afraid of vlogging with a tripod. I'm using my G9, and it's just too damn big for an old guy like me to hold out in front of me. I use my Oben mini-tripod on my desk if I'm vlogging from my office, or I have a nice full-size monopod that I can carry around instead of a tripod.
I mostly use a 25mm Pana 1.7 or my 42.5mm 1.7. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on that Oly 17mm, though. I think it's a perfect lens for vlogging, Thanks for the great content.
Yes I use the 17mm for vlogging. Really great. You should difinetly buy. Actually, watch an example of it on of my videos. I show some unedited footage using it.
Loved this - so helpful.
Valuable information , thank you.
Love this content!
I've been looking for something similar to my Canon G12 point-and-shoot camera, which has taken tens of thousands of pictures but is showing its age. However, most point-and-shoots don't have a screen that swivels or tilts, which is a must for me. After seeing this video, I will be taking a hard look at the GX850.
Very good, excellent video
Thank you very much!
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
