Firstly, this is Keith's fault entirely. Well not really 🙂
What can I say? A new edition to the stable. If it works out well, I think the 7D will go. Great camera but I only use it for the odd sports shoot. Ironically, the one thing that the OM-D probably doesn't do to well. But the 7D (and lenses) is way too much capital to have gathering dust.
First and foremost, I CAN focus reasonably fast and with good accuracy using legacy lenses through the EVF. The 50/1.4 at F2 is very sharp. This was my number one concern and I am very happy. My next must have was weather proofing, so happy there when the time comes.
First impressions? Solid and beautifully made. But I will only be taking off the grip to change batteries. In my opinion the grip is integral in the way the camera can be comfortably gripped despite the small size. It just feels so right.
I have only tested the 14-42 of my E-P1 and it seems fine but not as fast as the 12-50 I tested in the store. I will get mine soon when new stock comes in (they had sold the lenses from my kit by accident).
More shots and feed back over the next week but here are some boring test shots in the meanwhile.
But first some porn.
My partner has a Tea House so instead of helping I just played with my new toy 🙂
These are all taken with the zuiko 50/1.4. Manual focus through the EVF. Most are F2 where it is tack sharp.
200 iso
1600 iso
Bit softer. Probably F1.4
Cheers,
John
