Robin Wong: Your Olympus 100-400mm Images Are Soft? Here Are Possible Reasons Why
Robin Wong writes:
Following up my video recently on shooting with Olympus 100-400mm F5-6.3 in better light and getting incredibly sharp images, I made this video to respond to a few comments claiming that their 100-400mm lenses performed poorly and made soft images. I explored several reasons why and how the 100-400mm images could be soft from firmware compatibility, camera settings, lens settings to shooting techniques and skills in using super telephoto lenses. I hope that this can benefit those who have purchased the 100-400mm lens and intend to get the best out of the lens, and to understand how the lens works (especially the image stabilization mechanism and how it interacts with the camera body, and what settings to use for optimal results).
Olympus PEN E-P7 review by DigitalCameraWorld
DigitalCameraWorld UK tested the new E-P7 and concluded:
We know that many people were hoping for a PEN-F Mark II, and may feel disappointed that this isn’t that camera. Here’s the truth, though: the Olympus PEN E-P7 combines the style and shooting modes of the PEN-F with the tiny form factor of the E-PL bodies and the fresh technology of the E-M10 Mark IV – and, in so doing, is a far more interesting proposition than a PEN-F Mark II would have been.
This camera finally catches the PEN line up with the power of the OM-D bodies – putting a stunning stills camera in your pocket, for one of the best travel and take-anywhere systems we’ve used. The E-M10 Mark IV is technologically similar and actually cheaper, plus you get the benefit of an electronic viewfinder. However, the E-P7 is a superior creative tool thanks to the mono and color modes offered by the Profile Control dial – and it’s a beautiful camera both to look at and use.
The OM Digital Solutions era is off to a great start.
