What are your favorite M43 lenses anons?
Don't harass me for not shooting FF thank you and have a nice day.

I personally shoot with:
Lumix 20mm f1.7
Helios 44-M4 f2.

I added it since I've seen people making fun of M43 as a bad system and I don't like the hate personally. I'm sorry If I broke some unwritten rules about how to post or what to post, I'm just a new guy who's interested in photography that's all.

As people should. It IS a bad system for actual photographers. It's a phone-tier camera system designed to be fashion accessories and provide telephoto ability. It gets completely mogged by APS-C, is the same size, same cost, and is all but an abandoned mount with the modern releases focusing so heavily on video because there;s nothing for them to offer to photographers anymore.

If it works for you, sick. But don't delude yourself into thinking it's a good system.

Haven't seen a single photographer on here that benefits from full frame. You could be using m43 and your photos would remain as mediocre as they are now. Happy for you to prove me wrong with some pics tho :)

Micro four thirds is unjustifiable unless you simply cant justify the cost and inconvenience of food FF birding/macro gear, and only because FF has a lack of shitty consumer grade lenses like a 120mm f5.6 macro or a 200-600 f8-11. If they existed they could be the same size, price, and quality as their 4/3 equivalent but basically no one exists in the chasm between real camera users and phone users, besides a small handful of thirdies who can barely afford used 4/3 and already settled for aps-c DSLRs stolen from tourists. Which is why olympus basically went out of business and panasonic switched to stumbling around with ff mirrorless sans worthwhile autofocus.

I like my 60mm macro a lot, I use it for everything. My 12-45 is hit and miss, maybe I'm using it wrong or shouldn't have a UV filter on it or maybe it's just a dud but it's never felt that good. On paper it's excellent though, small weather sealed standard zoom that can do macro. Tbh my first three lenses were the 60, the 40-150R and the 12-45 and I think it's the ideal kit for what I do (wish the 40-150 went to 200 and was sealed though). I do own the 300 f/4 and it's excellent but overpriced, even used (how I got it). I like the 20mm f/1.4 indoors for my cats, the bokeh is smooth and it's fast enough. Take my advice with a grain of salt I'm just a noobie with disposable income who likes having light and durable telephoto and macro.

The 40-150R is very good for being like 100$. Got one to mess around with tilt shift photos of suburbs that my family enjoys. The PanaLeica 15mm f1.7 is pretty good street/EDC lens. The OM 20mm f1.4 is pretty good as well. It has chromatic abberation and isn't overly corrected so it has great contrast and really pops. The OM 12-100 F4 is a very cool feat of engineering and has pretty good optics for how crazy it's range is. I personally don't really like spending that much on a M43 lens though. I buy M43 to get cheap gear I can trash that's like 95% of the quality of my nikon full frame.

Stupid site still has the exif disabled. It was the 40-150 f4.0-5.6R with the OM-1. There's this mountain in the middle of phoenix that overlooks a bunch of suburbs and I was going to do a little zine where I sat up there and get some really long distance candid shots. It kind of worked but it was a lot more waiting then I thought it would be and the heat wafting off the pavement was starting to distort the images. I'll probably pick it up again in couple months when it cools down again.

Lol I think you haven't spent much time using M43 if you think the noise is that different on a FF. It's like maybe a stop better in low light. The autofocus and stabilization is much worse on the z6ii.
I feel like everyone on this board is basically arguing about cameras that are all mostly the same in the end. I guess gear faggotry is a way to pass the time but it's pretty funny. Like watching an Indian cricket match riot.

Not sure if you've ever experienced this before, but sometimes when you switch from hobby to professional it can suck a lot of fun and joy out whatever that hobby was.

It is. I shot 3 weddings. They loved it, even when I used micro four thirds. I quit and turned down 4. It's not worth it. I already have a job, weddings are miserable and actually pay significantly less than my cozy middle manager position, and the only real path upwards in photography requires that you travel to diverse liberal shitholes and interact almost exclusively with liberal do-nothings who are only rich because whoever owns the media liked them.

Or be a photojournalist which is the same thing but you don't have to pretend to like it.

Friend of mine did those professionally.
He would shoot half of the photos for client and other half for himself for his personal collection. Would pick girl or two on the wedding that where of special interest, did lots of photos with them and then when he came home he would jack off to those photos.

Having gone the route of aps-c to full frame I am now more open to m43. I just think they are neat, but I wish they were able to produce something like the Pen F, that is something tiny with an EVF, but it seems like it is impossible because of the energy requirements.

Honestly one of the strengths of the system is how close lots of non-macro lenses get. The 12-45 does 0.5x, which appears like FF 1x, but it's at 12mm iirc. The Panny 14-140 focuses quite close too, maybe 0.5x but it's slower and less sharp than the 12-45. You could try a raynox 250 too.

Is the GH5 worth it in 2025? I’ve read the video quality is solid except for the DFD autofocus, it's weather sealed, built like a tank and it’s got a 20MP mft sensor.
Thoughts?

look for a cheaper one.

>>4425834
m43 is 2 1/2 stops worse than good ff (ie: z6ii sensor), 2 worse than a normal ff (ie: d750, canon) and the autofocus on a z6ii as bad as it is, is better than 90% of m43 bodies, step up $500 to a zf/z5ii and it loses even harder. wouldn't spend more on it than necessary, ie: good if you insist on mirrorless gimmicks and cant afford a Z 180-600 or Z 105mm f2.8 macro because there's a cheap m43 equivalent-ish setup for half the price of the lens alone, pretty bad otherwise. just stop being a pussy and use a DSLR. m43 loses its luster if you move past indoor cat photogaphy and realize it's a crappy camera that still doesnt fit in your pocket.

Anon, FF DSLR macros and telephoto zooms are just as good as affordable m43 versions, especially when you realize the m43 versions are already at f5.6 or f8 wide open, kind of soft, and will only develop more diffraction smearing after that, and the DSLR versions are as sharp wide open at f2.8, f4.5, etc, and tack sharp stopped down once and dont really diffract until f11. Why would anyone use micro four thirds, besides attempting handheld focus stacking?

Sharp enough wide open. Very sharp at f/4

M43 is a meme, but I think this might be the one single time it's not entirely btfo'd by anyone and their T6i+kit zoom.
I'm also conveniently ignoring the Oly has the performance of f/5.6 wide open, and can't really stop down past f/4 (f/8) without diffraction smearing the shit out of everything anyway.
>but ren kockwell says diffraction makes all lenses equal when shooting at macro apertures
That would be true if this was 1987. A cropped full frame shot would still end up being better overall, and also welcome my name is focus bracketing how do you do.

That's not true at all. MFT & APS-C offer similar high iso performance - anything up 6400 should be great. Both look like crap compared to full frame.

Which model is better than the GH5 at that price point? I don’t want to buy used gear and I’m looking for an hybrid and weather sealed camera.
I plan to get the Lumix 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II and the 25mm f/1.4 II too (both brand new and weather sealed), plus a Slik tripod and Lowepro backpack.
Total budget is under 2000 eurobucks (and everything has to fit in that budget)

The 17mm f1.8 has a lot of copy variation so you might have a soft copy. That being said the 20mm f1.4 is definitely sharper than even a perfect 17mm f1.8. It's definitely noticeable without pixel peeping but it's not a huge improvement outside of shooting in high res mode. I wouldn't say it's worth an upgrade necessarilly. The 20mm f1.4 is cheaper used though. If you watch you can find a used version for a bit over 400$

The manual says not to expose it to rain. Sometimes (panasnoy, fujifail) the weather sealing is a marketing gimmick.

Non weather sealed cameras will also survive rain because rainwater isn't exceptionally conductive and cameras are usually screwed together tight enough for minor exposure.

i mean. everyone's favorite 12-40 is similarly wacky at the wide end but then at 25mm on it's less than 1% distortion in either direction. most of the similar primes- the pannycake 20, "leica" 25, panasonic 15, etc- are similar to the 17 if just a little bit better and rely heavily on software, but then the little olympus 25 1.8 is similarly less than 1% distorted in raw so they just didn't give a fuck the rest of the time, it's clearly possible with the tiny mount and lenses

Aren't most semi-competent lens designs around that focal range pretty much the same in that regard?
Pretty sure every standard-zoom ever has gone from barrel to pincushion distortion with a spot in the middle that's good. Nowadays either the tele or wide end is also good meaning you're often only dealing with fucked distortion on either the wide or tele end.

Maybe I should have rejiggered the meme-comment to just be about Olympus lenses instead of m43 together. My brief stint in M43 was solely Oly lenses and adapted vitange soviet shit.

They complement each other well. The 2.8 zoom is heavier and a bit bulkier. If 2.8 is enough I'd go with it, if you like primes I'd go with the 20, though you probably have a bad copy or are doing something wrong. My 20mm is very sharp.

The japanese man wears a coat any time he is not home. It helps, that it actually rains a fucktonne in japan. The japanese man is also still on web 2.0 because rushing to change a perfectly functional internet would be disrespecting the wisdom of his elders. This significantly shifts what is convenient.

The western man never wears a coat. He wears jeans, with pockets too tight to fit a ricoh GR comfortably, or slacks, in which cameras fall sideways and tilt forwards. He also expects smartphone integration. Take this into account, and realize why the western man is not going to spend $500-1000 on a camera he's not going to take with him more often than a DSLR or FF mirrorless.

i am not wearing a coat to fit these "pocketable" (not pocketable) cameras like the e-p7 and x100vi.... those are for girls and their purses, and they already have phones with horrible AI skin smoothing and a direct line to tiktok. if i have to use a strap i might as well use a better camera.

If MFT fit the sub thousand market exclusively and did so with an emphasis on weight and size, they might actually be successful. The fixation on video bullshit (for panasoynic) and max reech PRO f/1.4 [f/2.8] lenses (Olympus) is stupid as all fuck and shows that neither really know what they want it to be.
They want it to make money but the window for a mirrorless small-sensor format that has a chance to be a valid alternative to APS-C/FF is gone. They had 5 years or so before mainline manufacturers moved away from DSLRs and even then they couldn't convince any pros that ISO 800 in bright daylight was acceptable.

They could have just marketed themselves as an easy entry point to real cameras and away from smartphones. Like really, if it was basically a P&S but ILC that'd sell like hotcakes.

But that's what Oly sells? On their Euro website, OM-5 kit is about 1000, E-P7 and E-M10 kits are about 700 (discount prices, whatever)

1000 is enough for 2 m6ii’s
3 d750s (not pocketable means not pocketable and when youre average height 5’11-6’2, fuck grams who cares)
Or even a fuji xm5 kit and an extra lens
And about the size of a $1000 used, weather sealed, full frame a7c, it would only matter if you always had a coat pocket free
The 17mm f1.8 with weather sealing is $500
So is a 40mm f2.5 g with weather sealing

Micro four thirds is too shit for the pricepoint and some gimmicks that might improve some landscapes sometimes. It just doesnt fit any purpose other than coping and being em5ii levels of poor anymore.

Buy a used gm1 and cope

Not smaller or better than the xm5, a6600, etc.

A larger sensor improves every photo and equivalence doesnt even work. M43 gimmicks bring some photos close to aps-c sorta.

Even $1000 USD is too much. I mean like, their top of the line whatever can sit up top there but in the same vein that Canikkon sells $8000 cameras that nobody normal buys, an EM1 shouldn't really cost more than that. Their mainline offerings should sit around $400-800 new if they wanted to actually carve out a portion of the market. I reckon a sizable portion of the "Buy used DSLR kit from 10 years ago" market would instead buy a new MFT if it were the case. Yes they'd have to rejig things to bring the price down.

For $1000 I'm buying an R8 on sale (don't do that though), or at the least an R10 kit.

The body is not smaller. Oly has small zoom lenses though (and image stabilization).

> But your 700 Euro camera has a smaller sensor than my 1000 Euro camera what about that
Yeah I guess.

For $1000 im buying an a7iii, and samyang 45mm+75mm kit. M43 is for impoverished nature nerds only because of the cheapie em1ii+75-300+60mm macro meme.

olympus has small f8-12 zooms and a stabilization gimmick that might improve some landscapes maybe (but not as much as a $12 pocket tripod)
>inb4 nuh nuh nuh pickskel shift
disappointing every time, lots of weird digital artifacts just to pixel peep the lenses various as of yet unseen optical issues with 0.5um virtual pixels

As much as I love to say snoy, I can't help but agree with your core sentiment.

As an aside, I don't even get the "muh grams" argument; I was one-handing a 1.2kg setup last night for like 3 hours. All I needed my second hand for was to steady the thing when doing low shutter speeds. And I guarantee there are anons here that have hauled bigger loads for longer hours.
>inb4 I hike up massive mountains all day every day and every gram counts
I bushwalk all the time and the biggest source of weight should be the water you are carrying. I truly don't understand how an extra 500g of camera equipment matters.

The catch is that it if you shoot against a brightly lit background like a sky you will get some CA. Thruthfully it's more than fine for landscapes or portraits if you wait until its like 100$ new. One of the best lenses on MFT for value.

You don't know what you're missing. t. hiker who used to "not worry" about pack weight and do (max) 12mi/4000ft days, now regularly exceeding 20mi and 6000ft. Grams turn into kgs real quick. I still prefer an ILC but you have some FF options that are as light as MFT in 2025.
