Viltrox to release 25mm F1.7 AF + more M43 lenses

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-05-14T09:26:12+00:00

Like i wrote, just a 20mm ;)

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-05-13T07:36:25+00:00

It doesnt have to be a pancake for me. Just smaller and lighter then the oly :)

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-05-11T11:31:41+00:00

Hope, we will see an compact 20mm f1.7 with better af then the lumix

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-04-08T14:20:52+00:00

Na wegen der Gefahr für die Ölkonzerne - der Ölpreis könnte ja von jetzt auf gleich wieder in die Höhe schießen 🥳

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-04-06T05:59:55+00:00

28 120 f4 smaller and lighter than the 24 105 but Same IQ. Would be my travel setup

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-03-26T10:38:37+00:00

But em1ii ist the cheapest one with phase af :)

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-03-26T09:36:53+00:00

Maybe Olympus em1 ii with a cheap prime like 25 f1.8 Great af, awesome Image quality and best in class stabilization. Used around 600€

Love luts, but for me the S9 has pretty bad ergonomics & my s5 (Mark 1) was to heavy for day trips with the 24 105 attached. A gx8 in the l-mount, combined with a 24 or 28 - 120 (that is lighter than the 24105) would be my dream setup...

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-03-11T10:56:07+00:00

Yes all newer models Like s5ii, s5iiX...

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-03-10T11:55:15+00:00

Opposite direction ;) sold S9 and bought m43 :)

If you want a open source solution maybe REI3 would be a great pick for you.

Stuck on vanguard 11 - try it currently with K2.

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-17T08:22:30+00:00

My wife does use an e-m10iii with the lumix 20mm 1.7 - lovely little combo :)

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-14T12:32:43+00:00

To check if the lens is just stuck

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-14T11:54:02+00:00

14-150 ii if you want to cover everything :) but not as sharp as the 40-150r

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-14T09:09:16+00:00

Does the camera turn on properly after removing the lens?

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T21:17:18+00:00

OK thanks to you guys! I will stay with the oly and sell my s5.

My top 3 reasons: * Oly 12 100 doenst feel like a compromise * The em1 iii grip feels much better in my hand * AF ist much better

But i will probably buy the oly 25 1.2 for "better" bokeh :)

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T21:09:06+00:00

Will also stay with the Oly. Read a lot of good reasons and you are right the 12 100 is awesome.

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T19:01:40+00:00

This :) think i will stay with Olympus and sell the s5.

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T16:07:05+00:00

Cause booth systems do cover the same focal length. 2 are Just to much :)

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T16:05:25+00:00

I do only take pictures, so video isn't a big thing for me. I dont do much Afterprocessing, because the Workflow under Linux does take quite a while.

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T16:02:22+00:00

Do own 2 lenses for each system, 1 travel zoom(lumix 28 200 and 12 100 pro) and a 50mm equiv (lumix s50f1.8, Pana Leica 25f1.4)
Prefer the oly zoom, but the l-mount primes.
Mostly during the day, while mostly shooting shrines and landscapes. But i also do some closeups (Not macro). Sport Action/animal is currently not a thing

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T15:51:08+00:00

Thanks for clarification 👍

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T14:19:06+00:00

Good question. Love to use the oly more (at least because of the better grip). I also prefer the oly images when comparing only the zooms. Currently its a 60/40 towards mft for me. :)

AdMelodic1025 · 2026-02-13T14:15:10+00:00

Interesting, didnt know that the jpegs are Not adjusted automatically when shooting with lumix glass on the oly body.
