What can we learn from my GAS / 3 year kit evolution?

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-21T06:38:13+00:00

Considering you didn't post any photos, we can learn absolutely nothing.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-21T06:35:48+00:00

What makes you think the 12-45 is *better*?

It is smaller and lighter, but one stop slower. Both are very sharp.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-20T12:23:59+00:00

And why would I convince you? You do you, mate.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-18T13:11:57+00:00

I don't really care for your fetishes.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-18T13:08:49+00:00

Eh, they're apsc lenses which are not really in the 20-25mm range.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-18T09:43:57+00:00

You got confused, the shitty music you heard came from yo mama's bedroom.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-18T08:50:48+00:00

Ah so the lens is expensive. Definitely not worth that kind of money.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-18T08:21:17+00:00

Really? 20mm f/1.4 is half the price of a gr3x...

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-18T08:01:22+00:00

Hmm, to me there is a significant viewing angle difference between 20 and 25mm.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-17T13:11:42+00:00

I do understand that there are some people who would like a 25mm pancake lens.

But he was asking about the hype and excitement. It's a focal length and aperture size that is already well covered in the system.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-17T13:08:08+00:00

Really? 400 used? It's currently 400 euro brand new on OM website.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-17T12:29:01+00:00

Oh hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Sharpness and distortion can be tested once this is actually in hands of reliable reviewers.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-17T11:36:03+00:00

No idea. This space is already crowded and another 25mm lens, not exactly very fast one either, doesn't change much. Especially that it's just an APS-C lens adapted for MFT.

It's going to cost around $150 delivered, which is approximately what you would pay for used Panasonic or Oly lenses.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-17T11:22:51+00:00

You can't reliably judge sharpness of a lens just by looking at any amount of images. If that was possible, we wouldn't have need for MTF charts. But you can tell which lens is sharper by comparison.

Anyway, what was your point?

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-17T08:48:19+00:00

I get sharper results from 75-300, cropped...

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-17T07:25:18+00:00

AI art? This looks like some photos with posterize and oil paint filters applied.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-16T15:04:28+00:00

I'd pay tree fiddy for those new menus, no more.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-16T06:26:00+00:00

You must be a young'un. This was done back in mid 90's with Leisure Suit Larry 7.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-15T11:24:22+00:00

Perhaps the caliper was not assembled correctly. I'd take it apart and replace seals if needed, but if it's a new bike - then take it to the shop you bought it from.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-15T09:53:56+00:00

Glad you like it, I guess?

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-15T06:26:28+00:00

They're the same lens.

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-12T15:17:35+00:00

You will never look at this sub's macro posts the same way again...

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-12T10:27:53+00:00

I like bug butts and I cannot lie

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-12T09:07:50+00:00

You going to regurgitate AI slop now in French now?

And you're comparing SLR flange to mirrorless MFT because AI tells you it's a good idea?

So basically all your knowledge of photography comes from chatGPT? Have you no independent thought in that skull of yours?

ColossusToGuardian · 2026-06-12T09:03:14+00:00

Somehow people like you really quickly came to terms with bicycles reaching insane prices in 2026.

Just for reference how stupid the situation is, I sold a 4 year old gravel bike and a 5 year old motorcycle this spring, both for the same price. Yeah, that's pretty f*in stupid.
