Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO lens user review at Nabityphotos.

Rip Smith:With so much emphasis on video it’s sometimes hard to remember that the MFT system is great for stills photography. I work as a volunteer with the Berkeley Arts Council in Martinsburg, West Virginia. We are getting ready for our second Dance Works Festival and I thought your readers might enjoy a short slide show of images I captured of the first festival last year. Most were captured with the Olympus EM-1 with some backup shots with the EM-5. I rented a 75mm f/1.8 for the shoot and used it a lot along with the Panasonic/Leica 25mm f/1.4 and a couple of other lenses. I loved the 75mm so much I bought one within two weeks after renting it! http://www.sterlingimages.com

Ray:Looking at one of Olympus’s perhaps forgotten lenses and a reminder to all that many of the older lenses are as good, if not better, than what has come later. The following story contains photos taken with the E-M1 and 90-250mm f2.8 lens, plus EC-14 tele-extender, all handheld; a testament to the quality of these older lenses, as well as the IBIS in the E-M1: http://australianimage.com.au/wordpress/?p=3832.

Olympus patent discloses how you can use multishot to reduce noise.

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2015-01-01 um 10.54.19

We know the E-M5II will have sensor shift function to create high resolution images. A similar multishot technique could be used to reduce noise as a new Olympus patent explaines. Two (or more) images shot at different exposures can be used to create one single image with very low noise. In that case there is no sensor shift in action but just two same images shot at different exposures just like you do when shooting HDR.

And in a second patent Olympus also explains how to get rid of blurred images. That yes could be used in conjunction with the sensor shift mechanism as this is likely to create some blurred images when objects are moving.

Those are not MFT cameras but I got this from a trusted source and maybe someone cares about it :)

Olympus will soon announce two new compact and fixed lens cameras: The TG-4 and SH-70. Don’t know if they will announce it at CES already or wait til CP+- My guess is that it’s coming at CES.
