The Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a fairly hefty camera but it is worth remembering that lenses also play a large role in the portability of a system. For example, inside our Peak Design 30L Everyday backpack, we were able to fit the new camera along with the 12-100mm f/4, 300mm f/4, 40-150mm f/2.8, 12-40mm f/2.8 and the E-M1 mark II with the battery grip attached. Pretty good, don't you think? ?? How many Micro Four Thirds lenses can you fit inside your camera bag? . . . . . #camera #cameras #cameragear #photogear #olympus #olympusomd #olympusuk #olympusinspired #olympuscamera #olympusphotography #olympuskameras #getolympus #olympus_ru #microfourthirds #microfournerds #mirrorless #mirrorlesscamera #mirrorlessgeeks #mirrorlessrevolution #omdem1 #olympusem1 #olympusomdem1 #em1markii #omdem1x #em1x #olympusem1x #olympusomdem1x #mzuiko #mirrorlessons

We’re happy to report that the Olympus OM-D E-M1X, with its updated continuous autofocus system, delivers similar results to its mirrorless pals, the Fujifilm X-T3 and Sony A7 III, when used for birds in flight. Out of the hundreds of images we took at our local red kite sanctuary, approximately 74% were keepers, or 91% if we include the ever-so–slightly soft images. We found that the best AF settings for this genre are 25 Group Target and C-AF Sensitivity +2. You can see a few sample images by swiping to the right! ? Which camera would you pick for birds in flight? ? . . . . . #camera #cameras #cameragear #olympusomd #olympusinspired #olympuscamera #olympusphotography #olympuskameras #microfourthirds #mirrorless #mirrorlesscamera #mirrorlessgeeks #mirrorlessrevolution #omdem1x #em1x #olympusem1x #olympusomdem1x #sonya7iii #sonyalphaclub #sonyalphagang #sonyalphauniverse #sonycamera #fujixt3 #fujifilmcamera #fujifilmxseries #fujifilm_x #fujixseries #fujifilmx #sonyshooter

Good things always come in threes, right? Well, that’s certainly the case with these Olympus OM-D siblings! Sitting above the OM-D E-M1 mark II and the original OM-D E-M1, we have the new OM-D E-M1X whose advanced array of features target photographers in search of a reliable all-rounder for sports, wildlife, still life, long exposures and more. ? Having used the new camera for just over a week now, we’ve had the time to put together a comparison between the E-M1X and the E-M1 mark II. You can find the link by visiting our bio. ? . . . . . #camera #cameras #camera? #cameragear #photogear #olympus #olympusomd #olympusuk #olympusinspired #olympuscamera #olympusphotography #olympuskameras #getolympus #olympus_ru #microfourthirds #microfournerds #mirrorless #mirrorlesscamera #mirrorlessgeeks #mirrorlessrevolution #omdem1 #olympusem1 #olympusomdem1 #em1markii #omdem1x #em1x #olympusem1x #olympusomdem1x #mirrorlessphotography

Olympus ZD 12-200 MFT lens review by Robin Wong

Share

Preorders: 12-200mm lens at GetOlympus and Bhphoto.

Robin Wong tested the new Olympus ZD 12-200 MFT lens and concludes:

I do think that the Olympus 12-200mm is quite an interesting lens. While the lens may not give you the typical Olympus razor sharp image output at the longer end, it performs very well in the 12-100mm zoom range. If you are looking for absolute sharpness, there are PRO grade lenses with superior optics to consider, as well as high quality prime lenses from Olympus or Panasonic. What impressed me most was the flare control of the lens and the fact that despite such a massive zoom range, Olympus managed to keep the size and weight down to a comfortable level. Weather-sealing is a welcome bonus. As long as you do not shoot constantly in dim light, I see no reason the 12-200mm cannot deliver satisfactory results.

Also ePhotozine tested the lens:

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens is a dream to use, without a doubt. The concept of the all-in-one travel zoom is great, with a long reach and really close focus all built in. There will be many travellers who will take to this lens and produce very memorable images. It isn’t perfect technically, but mega-zooms by their nature are pushing the boundaries and we have to accept that there is some trade-off between quality and convenience. It is also true that many lenses from all the marques may not fare strongly at MTF50 standards, but still have plenty of merit in producing bright, punchy images. The concentration with this lens is weighted towards better performance at wider focal lengths and at the centre of the image field, but the extra reach available will still be appreciated in many situations.

A versatile and easy to use travel lens and, whilst aware of its limitations, recommended.
