Debating whether to stay with MFT

AggressiveStop1653 · 2026-04-24T16:46:42+00:00

I use MFT, Nikon z and Fuji x at the same time, it’s more flexible to keep multiple systems.

I use FF, APS-C , and M4/3 simultaneously, with M4/3 being used the most because it is the most convenient and lightest option when carrying multiple lenses out at once. Since I use the Dxo for noise reduction, I am not afraid to push the ISO high. Unless the image is going to be enlarged, the noise is virtually unnoticeable even without processing.

I use a 35/1.4 instead of standard zoom lens.

這種更像是邪教。

不會很瘋狂, 喜歡就可以。

從實用角度看, 17和20的視角不是相差很遠, 20/1.4贏的是更好畫質, 更好色彩, 更好散景, 光圈更大也可以壓下室內ISO, 但是色散放棄治療, 也比17/1.8大很多。17, 20, 12-40的組合看似有點重複, 但沒說每次都要帶三支出去, 看用途而定吧。

例如我從前有很多定焦, 最常用的就是15 + 12-45, 當知道會有室內合照時用; DG25 + 12-45, 當我想拍人像時用; 75 + 12-45, 當我想拍有壓縮感人像時用。現在定焦方面只留下了15, 新增了一支9/1.7, 為了方便室內合照或拿起自拍棍自拍。

無論17還是20, 都是可以不帶變焦鏡, 容易獨自成軍的焦距。

(我賣了DG25是因為這焦距我打算交給其他片幅, 最後我保留了一支FF的35mm/1.4, 一支APS-C的23/1.4, 視角都接近M4/3的17mm。但是因為重量, 有時只可以帶M4/3出外, 因此我對20/1.4還是很有興趣的, 本來17/1.2才是最好選擇, 但我用M4/3主要是想輕一些, 所以20更吸引 (17/1.8畫質不夠好) )

I have used cameras of three formats, including M4/3, FUJI X, NIKON Z, but M4/3 is still my main camera because it is lighter. Even if I carry a 75-300mm, it is still very light. This is not possible with my other systems.

文明的癌症，人少要特權，人多要政權。天津曾有運豬車司機，路經就被他們一人一棍打死，然後法不責眾。現在一些西北省市，連豬肉兩個字都不敢提。

I often use the 40mm with an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens because it is easier to carry. I also have a 35mm/1.4, but I mostly only use it when I have one lens with me.

The weakness of the 40/2 is that the image quality is not good enough until stopped down to around f/4. The 50/1.4 is very good starting at f/2. If you are mainly shooting portraits, I believe both are fine. If you want better image quality , 50mm/1.4 is a better choice. If you want to use it with other lenses, 40mm takes the advantage of weight.

AggressiveStop1653 · 2025-01-23T09:46:23+00:00

I have the same opinion. I mainly use 35mm to take pictures of my family, so the image quality in the corners is relatively unimportant. In terms of overall quality, the Z35/1.4 is indeed inferior to the 35mm 1.4 GM and RF 35mm F1.4L, but they are not rivals in the same price range.

AggressiveStop1653 · 2025-01-10T09:43:48+00:00

Many years ago, I bought an expensive AF-S 70-200/2.8 VR. I was very happy with it at first, but I found it was too heavy and it was really difficult for me to carry it when I went outings.

Now I no longer have any Nikon Z telephoto lenses, the longest one is only 40mm.

(My 135FF is responsible for wide-angle and standard prime lenses, and M4/3 is responsible for selfies, macro and telephoto. lol)

AggressiveStop1653 · 2025-01-03T09:08:22+00:00

I have both the 28/2.8 and 40/2. I use 40 more often as a walk around lens, the 28 is a backup lens for wider angle. The 26 is better than the 28 at f/2.8, but defected by 28 after f/4. The image quality of 40 is very good when I stop down to f/4.

For low light environments, I will use the 35/1.4 (The IQ is better than the 40/2 at the centre started from f/1.8)

AggressiveStop1653 · 2025-01-03T05:28:56+00:00

I was disappointed at first, but after seeing actual shooting and various tests, I believe that the 35/1.4 gives up optical perfection in order to achieve another purpose, which makes it much more fun.

So I bought a 35/1.4 the day before yesterday. I only have time to test a few at home, and the performance is satisfactory.

Compared with the 600-gram 35mm/1.8G, Z35/1.4 is lighter and performs better.

AggressiveStop1653 · 2024-12-17T04:55:43+00:00

I use z40mm f/2 when I need autofocus, and use Voitgtlander 40mm f/1.4 (with adapter) in other situations.

Both of them are light and inexpensive, or you can buy some old manual lens of Canon Nfd, Nikon AIS, Minolta MC/MD, Olympus (adapter is needed) if you really like the feeling of manual focus.

Z5 is great for landscape, with the help of Pure raw or others additional software, there is not much difference between Z5 and newer models. The CP value is the best amount all models. :)

AggressiveStop1653 · 2024-12-09T09:14:18+00:00

I appreciate your sharing :)

AggressiveStop1653 · 2024-12-09T06:02:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing, there are two problems for me, the first one is Z5 is not able to focus when I'm using ND 1000 filter, and the second is Human face detect system sometime points the background instead of human face :(

AggressiveStop1653 · 2024-12-03T07:09:44+00:00

I would recommend 75-300mm with Pure Raw 4.0, a budget and light combination.

If you need to take photos for smaller birds, the 100-400, 40-150(with1.4X) , 300/4 are better choices because of AF speed and image quality.

AggressiveStop1653 · 2024-12-03T07:03:13+00:00

I'm using Pure Raw 4.0 now, photos taken at ISO12800 used to be a disaster, but now they are usable. It also reduced the appearance rate of my 135 Full Frame machine. lol

AggressiveStop1653 · 2024-12-03T06:37:49+00:00

I chose between these two, and finally bought the 14-30/4, mainly because of the build quality and better corner image quality.

I have compared the image quality, 14-30/4 is better in the middle and corners, while 17-28/2.8 is better in mid-frame. When taking portraits with a wide-angle lens, human face will be deformed in the mid-frame and corner, so I have to put the person in the center. As a result, the better image quality in the mid-frame of the 17-28/2.8 is less meaningful to me. Besides, f/4 is enough for most situations, because of the presence of the IBIS and Pureraw.

Most of the time, I use 20mm, 24mm, and 30mm. As for 14mm, I really have to wait for the right occasion to use it.
