This new lens has generated a lot of controversy. I find it a bit too heavy for my regular use, and I'll probably not buy it in the near future, but it can take good-quality images that are worth sharing in this forum, like these images that were taken at 600mm f/6.3 with my OM-1.

As a recent convert to MFT, I haven't yet shot any low-light situations so am looking for advice. My grand-niece is a lead in her school play and I want to shoot photos & maybe some video, but don't know which camera to bring. While I assume the sensor in the Canon will be better for low-light than the MFT, if possible, I'd like to bring the smaller OM-5 with a Pany 14-140 II f3.5-5.6, assuming my Oly 75-300 II f3.5-5.6 would be too big and slow. On the other hand, I don't want to risk too... Read more ..read more

This deal has been run with varioius E-M5 and E-M1 cameras in the past, here it is again. $1299.98 for OM-5 body and 14-150ii lens. OM calls it $550 off, which it is for list price but since OM-5 body is also on sale right now for $999.99, you're getting the lens for $300 which is still not bad. Also a discount on body plus 12-45 Pro but the discount isn’t as good, you get the lens for $400 ($99 off). Subscribe to see EXIF info for this image (if available ..read more
