Robin Wong: 10 Reasons Why Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 Is Awesomeness
Robin Wong:
Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 has always been my favourite lens, and I always include this lens for both my professional work as well as personal shoots. Since I do shoot a lot of people in all the photography that I do, the Olympus 45mm F1.8 is just the right lens to use – providing me medium telephoto reach with good background compression effect, rendering shallow depth of field and minimizing ugly distortions. The lens itself has superb optics, delivering fantastic results even shooting wide open at F1.8. There are just so many reasons to love this tiny lens from Olympus!

Reminder: You can now preorder the new Capture One 21 on this page (Click here) with a 20% discount. It’s a bit tricky to preorder it so here I explain how to do it for C20 owners:
- Login to Capture One
- Go to the upgrade page and enter your license number
- Upgrade to C21 and get the 20% discount using the checkout code “PREORDER2020“
If you do own C12 or older version you first have to purchase C20 (with no discount code). And they will than get C21 update for free.
New features and release time:
Capture One has decided to not disclose any info about the new features (I know this is odd). So if you wonder why the heck you should pay for a new version without knowing what you get…I can only give you one reason: The 20% discount that you get now and you will NOT get the day of the official launch!
The release date has not been announced but as usual expect the release to be between mid November and mid December.

FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR RAW VIDEO DATA OUTPUT
Olympus is pleased to announce development for firmware that enables output of RAW video data from the Olympus OM-D E-M1X and Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III mirrorless cameras to the ATOMOS NINJA V HDR monitor recorder. Data will be recorded to the ATOMOS NINJA V as Apple ProRes RAW for flexible image editing. This lends greater flexibility to professional video production post-processing tasks, such as adjusting exposure and color grading recorded footage. The firmware is being developed in collaboration with ATOMOS and is scheduled for release in Winter 2020.
Olympus will continue to support professional video production via hand-held high-definition video recording with their compact lightweight system, thanks to its unrivaled portability and powerful in-body 5-Axis Image Stabilization with 5-Axis Sync IS capabilities.
