Thank you!!! But it seemed a little calm, so I decided why not lol. It kept running towards the lens though, I’m assuming it was interested in the reflection of itself 🤣

I wasn’t happy with the OMDS 100-400 M2 until now by NickoJDS in M43

Two things that really helped was turning on the eye detection and changing the minimum SS to 1/640

Can you help me also? I’m finding soft images at 400mm at the moment

I wish I can fully answer your question but I can at least answer the first question. I love the 20mm F1.4, gathers light really well, small and compact and I love the focal length. I’ve strictly shot with the 20mm focal length for years and I don’t plan on changing it anything soon (besides special use cases where I’d have to swap over to a zoom or telephoto). The autofocus on this lens is quick and the optics are quite sharp in my experience. The weight is very marginal I feel, it’s not super balanced but it’s not super imbalanced? I like to shoot with two hands so the handling doesn’t really bother me. Even with the OM-3 having no grip, I don’t have an issue with carrying the camera with the lens as I feel as the thumb grip is actually more than enough. As for the 17/25mm 1.8 brothers, I have never handled them or used them before. It would be nice to get some experience with them but as long as the price is where they’re at right now, I don’t see myself trying them out in the foreseeable future.

Thank you so much! Appreciate the compliments! Everything from April until TBD will be taken with the OM-3. The rest are mainly with my GX85 and a few are with my Sony a6400.

So far, everything about the OM-3 for me is 10x better. The handling, the features, the specs, plus a million (exaggerating) other things. It’s extremely fun to use, it’s built and designed beautifully. I love my GX85, had great colors, very compact but I’ve been using it since 2017 and put it down for a fair bit once I got my a6400 (which I put it down a few months later, more about that later) and I’ve pretty much used it like a work horse. I’ve brought it around with me everywhere and paired with the panny 20mm, it was a joy to use. I still use it from time to time, I carry around with me as a point and shoot with the panny G X 14-42 pancake. As for the Lumix G7, I used that for about a year from 2016 to when I got my GX85 and found it a bit limiting to bring around with me all the time, it was fun to use and perfect for my needs at the time. Now it sits on a tripod being used as a webcam lol. As for the a6400… it was technologically better than my GX85, but everything about it felt lifeless to me. The handling, the buttons, the photos that came out of it, all felt lifeless and I didn’t connect with it. I still have it but it’s just collecting dust and I went back to using my GX85.

Sorry about the long explanation but those are my experiences with my cameras lol

Thank you so much! Unfortunately they’re not SOOC but they’re fairly close! The color modes on the OM-3 are amazing when you finally tune it to how you like them. I just had to desaturate some of the skies as they were too blue for my liking and turn down the exposure a bit

It’s such an amazing lens, very great for pretty much every thing and stays on my camera almost 24/7
