Olympus mZD 75-300

Olympus mZD 75-300

I had to post this image again as I've had quite a few questions regarding this lens. I find it very good. It might not be all that cheap but it handles very well. I use it also in manual focus mode on the Oly Pen cameras. Also good fun. This image was hand-held at 300. You can't get much better than that I don't think.

Just another with the combination from yesterday. I love getting in close with these lenses. I must have hundreds of these type of images, and yet they are all different.

These lenses are so much fun. I'm not sure if modern day lenses are any better than the old manual focus ones. Zooms maybe, but the primes...not so sure. They will cost you next to nothing, and all you require then is an adapter to fit the m4/3 cameras.

Voigtlaender 85 f3.5 adapted for m4/3

There are some great bargains out there to be had. This lens which is now discontinued I believe, acts like a 170mm lens on a full format camera. I really need the IBIS with these longer lenses nowadays, I'm not as young as I used to be and hand holding these lenses is a real challenge. I cought this one from my balcony one evening not really thinking it would turn out into anything special. I like it.

Olympus E-P2 and the mZD 9-18 Lens

It might be difficult to see in an image this size but the detail in all parts of this image is astounding. The lens is actually great for indoor use, say churches or museums.

Another flower shot and it's the detail in this one that I find impressive. I must admit I haven't been using this one often enough. I think it takes time to get to know a lens, the more you use it the better you know the lens, the better your images get.

Olympus E-P2 anf the zMD 9-18 Lens

I would just like show what this little lens is capable of. I took it out to the local park because I knew that the flowers were in bloom at that time. The lens can give you a great perspective on things, it is very sharp and contrast is very good. Worth every penny.

Olympus Four Thirds 35 f2.5 Macro Lens

Olympus Four Thirds 35 f2.5 Macro Lens

Using Four Third lenses on m4/3 does work (the PL 14-150 is a good example) but some are not optimized for contrast detec focusing and performance is abysmal to say the least. This lens is an okay  performer on Four Third cameras, not brilliant, just okay. When shooting macro AF doesn't play a role for me and I focus manually with every macro lens I own. It's just as well because putting this on a m4/3 camera via a four thirds to m4/3 adapter doesn't enhance it's performance in any way. Takes nice images though.

Another one taken during the same walk. This kit lens isn't bad at all I think though many criticise it. I'm not the pixel-peeper kind of person so maybe I don't really see what they're criticising. I either like an image or I don't. These wer taken with the E-P2 and the 14-42 kit lens.

I really like Olympus colours. many say Olympus produced the best colours of all. This was taken last winter during a little walk. It was cold but still with some blue sky. The kind of conditions I like to out in.
