PetaPixel: 8 Micro Four Thirds Myths, Exposed by Four Full-Frame Converts

Petapixel listed the 8 MFT myths:
- The Resolution Myth – High-MP full-frame bodies like the Sony A7R IV don’t always outperform Micro Four Thirds. Advanced features such as focus bracketing and stacking often produce more usable detail for macro photographers.
- The Lens Quality Myth – The OM System M.Zuiko 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO is described as one of the sharpest lenses the ambassadors have ever used, offering 2× (4× equivalent) macro with outstanding optical quality.
- The Professional Conditions Myth – Full-frame bodies such as the Canon EOS R and Nikon Z7 II were often left behind because of their weight. Lighter OM gear made it easier to shoot in harsh environments.
- The Low-Light Myth – Modern sensors and IBIS in cameras like the OM System OM-1 allow handheld 1–2 second exposures, keeping ISO low even without the heavy full-frame systems.
- The Speed & Print Myth – Features such as Pro Capture and Handheld High-Res on the OM System OM-1 produce ~50MP files suitable for large prints up to 40×60 inches.
- The Bokeh Myth – Lenses like the Olympus 40–150mm F2.8 PRO and OM System 300mm F4 IS PRO give smoother backgrounds while keeping more of small subjects in focus—ideal for frogs, insects, and birds.
- The Landscape Tripod Myth – With extreme IBIS and Handheld Hi-Res in the OM System OM-1 Mark II, landscape photographers can capture sharp high-resolution images without carrying bulky tripods.
- The Computational Gimmick Myth – Tools like Live ND, Live Composite, Live GND, and Starry Sky AF — available on cameras such as the OM System OM-5 — replace many physical filters and streamline long-exposure workflows.

George Holden: You Don’t Need a Full Frame Camera for Street Photography
George Holden explains why Micro Four Thirds cameras are uniquely powerful tools for street photography: they are small, discreet, inexpensive, and offer a natural advantage for layered compositions thanks to their deeper depth of field and 4:3 aspect ratio. He argues that full-frame is unnecessary for most street work, and that Micro Four Thirds lenses provide outstanding versatility at a fraction of the size and cost. Holden also demonstrates how aperture equivalence helps street photographers achieve bright exposures while retaining deep focus for complex, multi-layered images.
Recommended Micro Four Thirds Lenses
12mm prime (BHphoto),
14mm prime (BHphoto),
15mm Leica prime (BHphoto),
17mm prime (BHphoto),
20mm prime (BHphoto)
Holden says these compact primes (24–40mm FF equivalent) are ideal for layered street images.
Kit Lens Option
12–42mm kit lens
A very cheap, flexible way to explore the Micro Four Thirds system.
Filter System Mentioned
KN&F Concept magnetic filter kit (Variable ND, CPL, Black Diffusion 1/4)
Camera Suggestions
Micro Four Thirds beginner cameras
Holden recommends an ultra-budget model for newcomers and a slightly more advanced option depending on needs.
Key Technical Points
• Micro Four Thirds 4:3 aspect ratio gives taller compositions.
• f/2.8 on MFT ≈ f/5.6 full-frame depth of field, ideal for layered street scenes.
• Smaller sensors make achieving deep focus effortless without stopping down to f/8 or f/11.
• Small lenses and bodies make the system discreet and travel-friendly.
