UnderstandI'm renting the 75/1.8 for the weekend to do a shoot for a shop. Hope to be able to afford it one day.
Bro, can share where you rent the 75mm and how much it costs? The 75mm is my dream lens but it is abit too expensive. It will be good if I can rent this to try first before plunging it.
just google for them. $35 to just rent the 75/1.8 , collect on Fri evening , shoot on Sat and return on Sunday by early afternoon. If u lazy to return to shop, it's $10 to just arrange for a courier
Beautiful colours from your pics bro! That is why I am glad to join M4/3 with an Oly.
Do you shoot with an em1? I recently purchased one and it seems like the camera makes a loud thud sound when it turns off. Was wondering if all em1s are like that? Sorry for the offtopic question.
Bro keith, your pictures are really nice! Makes me feel like I made the right choice getting an oly

Just gotten my set 2 days ago, really busy to shoot much. As tested the preview set with Spidey89, it's really an awesome lens and I knew I must have it. Reminds me of 45mm/1.8 really with perhaps bit better built, and the hood certainly a bonus for those who use it, i'm too lazy to bring out.
Just about what I can summarize abt this lens and who should get it, if it helps...imho
- Likes 25mm focal length (50mm equivalent on 135)
- Likes shallow depth of field (compared to what you would be able to get with the kit 14-42) for close portraits
- Wants to dabble into your first prime without burning a big pocket (relatively speaking compared to Panasonic 25/1.4)
- Owns Olympus camera, this lens would be much optimized than say panasonic 25/1.4 which is an excellent and brighter lens, but the chroma aberrations at high contrast situations can be an issue for some (those who doesn' have the software to correct it)
- quiet! no rattlesnake unlike Panasonic 25/1.4 and perhaps faster as well.
It's just that wee bit lighter which really doesn't matter.
No this doesn't mean if u have P25/1.4 and Oly camera u shld start selling, I know of friends who dun find the rattlesnake or CA an issue at all and absolutely wants that F1.4.
Did I mention the corner sharpness is very good too? shot with E-P5+O25/1.8 @ F1.8. The DOF is already very thin as I was close to the leaves.
100% Cropped
Nice photo! Only critique is inadequate DOF and the 100% crop isnt that great to be honest. Whatever, the photo looks real nice without it being blown up and I appreciate that.
Haha, thanks for the critique, appreciate it
Here's another wide open, cat shot. No cropping this time, can click to see for hi res. Wifi to phone and snapseed process. No sharpening required.
Bro.. U use single focus or zone focus?
