I have both those f/4 pro lenses and I love, love, love them. I paired those with couple super fast manual focus primes (Mitakon, Voigtlander) and those cover 99.9999% of what I want to do. I was considering the 60mm macro for the in-body macro focus stacking but turns out you can focus stack with the f/4 lenses and a macro tube.
Subbed. I shoot micro four thirds and live in the neighborhood. The PL 42.5 Nocticron will scratch any depth of field itch you’re missing. Also recommend the Panasonic 100-300II for birds and hiking. I have an em1.3 and a G9 and use both brands lenses on both.
@@Nadeemkhalid07 I feel the benefits of Olympus are the size, weatherproofing and class leading ibis. I feel almost every Fuji shooter chooses Fuji for the retro styling, external controls, lenses and JPG processing. For my I typically shoot in AP, wanted class leading ibis and weatherproofing, never shoot in JPG, so Olympus was a pretty natural choice. Also I have handled both and prefer the feel of the OM.
@@StephenEscallier ya…. Lens choices are great in MFT also… small and portable(most of them)… my only concern in MFT is image quality overall and in low light…
Hey there! Thanks for the great overview of your switch -- I appreciated your breakdown of the DOF differences! I know you recently switched systems (and seem to be using the PD wrist strap now), but wondered if you had any more thoughts on the Simplr strap you featured a few years ago. Do you still use it? Why did you prefer it over the Peak Design Leash? I love how minimalist the Simplr looks but do wish I could attach it to my tripod plate--and also worry the coarser nylon might cause my clothing to pill. What do you think?
I looovr the Simplr strap and had no real pilling on any of my clothing. I just tent to be cautious with my camera, so I tend to use a wrist strap. Though part of that was the idea of people able to remove the strap if I am using a tripod, which I am generally not finding a need to use with this camera and it’s excellent ibis. Let me try that strap for a week with this camera and report back!
@@StephenEscallier I see! Yes, I tend to keep my strap on while using a tripod despite the vibration concerns because I’m so nervous about it tipping (and I don’t do much astro photography or other things w very long exposures). I’m excited to hear about your experiences with it paired with your new kit! Thanks so much for your reply-and for offering to test it out again! May I ask what you disliked about the PD leash? I am trying one now and pleasantly surprised by how it feels with a Sony A7IV and 24-70 II despite how narrow it is, but it does seem to twist and bunch easily. That and the clunky anchors were what made me step away from my old slide lite from PD. The leash is relatively better on that front, though, from what I can tell.
@gphay I very much prefer the adjustment on the Simplr. I also love and hate the anchors on the PD, I know you can relate to that as you mentioned. I think it’s just odd to me to wear the camera, but I will give it another go. The size of this camera will likely make it way more enjoyable. 😊
I love the m43 system and I am glad recently I see more photographers appreciating it more. Subbed
I so agree!!
I recently went to an OM Systems open house at an area camera store. Very nice.
Great, thanks
I have the 75-300 for longer reach. I’d highly recommend that if you want a budget friendly option before spending big money on a pro lens.
I am torn but feel that the option I have I’ll likely go to next will be the 100-400!
Great video!
Thank you!

Love my MFT gear

Looking forward to your micro four third photography review! I am myself confused between fuji andOM system!
That’s a hard choice! What type of photography do you gravitate towards?
Thank you for subscribing!! 🙏🙏
@@StephenEscallier sort of travel photography… a serious amateur one.. a bit of street, landscape and sometimes bird photography…

@@Nadeemkhalid07 there are a few videos out there of people doing low light with these OM cameras!
