g1 & zm 35/2.8

[RayPA]

carl, i'm using the viewfinder and the magnified view. the problem for me with the magnified view is that i can't hold the camera steady enough to not have a shaky view when focussing.
when i was playing with the g1 and the 21/4.5 the finder was not nearly as shaky.
i may have to stick with the 45-200 so have the advantage of the ois.

The results are very encouraging. Great samples. Is the magnified view for manual focusing an option (can it be turned off)?

I like the Bang-On shot.
No image stabilization in the body? That would have been nice when using RF lenses via adaptor.

I'm betting the Olympus camera will have in-body stabilization like most of their DSLRs. I hope so anyway.

it's an option, at least with the zm lenses, can't recall with kit lens. part of my problem is that i am so used to the split image in a rf finder that the microprism focussing is something i have to get used to.

Joe, (or anyone with adapters) how do you bring up the magnified view when focusing? I assume it's a couple of button presses.

Yes, I was hoping for a one button solution with the latest fw upgrade, but no joy.

what i did not mention in the first quick reply - the two button solution allows to adjust the size and the location of the screen area to be used for focusing.
and, no relation to mr. wayne. my user icon is a detail from a drawing by alfred kubin, a quite interesting austrian drawer/painter/illustrator who nowadays unfortunately is almost forgotten.
