An Overlooked Very Cool Feature of the Olympus E-M1 That I Had Previously Overlooked! (Thewanderinglensman)

Spencer:Just wanted to share a short film I shot with my Gh4 Using the panasonic 12-35mm and my 7-14 occasionally: https://vimeo.com/103380910

Tom:I hope it is ok to use this form to send you a link to a video I made about micro jitter in the 35-100. This seems to be a very common issue that can likely be fixed with a firmware fix, if Panasonic bothers to do so. Reports about similar issues are on the 14-140, and previously on 12-35 f.28 until Panasonic did issue a fix for that: https://vimeo.com/106895202

Bart:I had the chance to shoot with the Otus 55mm on my GH3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBQlqYhDgII

Marc:I wonder if you’d be kind enough to feature my blog on one of your round ups as my photography blog has been shortlisted for a Blog North Award here in the UK. All of my work is made using Olympus digital cameras (a Pen and an OM-D) so hoped your readers might like to vote for me! http://marcprovins.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/squeeze.html
