Wide Angle lens

[spidey89]

No probs at all , I'm actually more interested in who's the lady now

O9-18 is still one of the most compact UWA in MFT even though the O7-14/2.8 definitely outperforms it. Like you said it boils down to personal opinions and of course one's budget.

Hahaha, I tell you tomorrow

Ultimately Vizard87, if you can rent, borrow or steal (hopefully not steal), try them out for yourselves. A Toyota VIOS on paper is good for its price, but I can barely fit in it :bsmilie: Likewise, 7-14 may give you the widest possible image (next to fisheyes) but if you don't need that wide and 9-18 fits you 95% of the time, then just get the 9-18

I'd add to the same point: rent and see the angle first hand. I seldom use such a wide angle in my shots, s0 if i have an assignment I'll just rent as I can't justify the expense (yet). If I really need for landscape I'd go for rokinon as is waaay cheaper. CRC is a good shop and their staff is friendly.

As has been said, light trails can be done with practically any equipment. You need patience and a desire to learn.

For wide angle, wider than the 12-40mm or 12-35mm, I actually went to a Nikon body as US$359 got me the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, which is not weather-sealed. I'd rather have bought the Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 but landscape shots are such a minor part of my shooting, it was easier to find ultra wide lenses on APS-C.

Hey! Haven't seen you around in a long time!

Hey! That's true. It's a long story but I moved about 4500 km across the U.S.A. in July 2014, and I've been photographing at skate parks most days, and recording a lot of video for about the last year.

I'm still using my Four-Thirds and micro Four-Thirds equipment for the skate parks and got the Nikon equipment for wide stuff like landscapes.

 

[spidey89]

Sounds cool hahaha

Maybe, it was. If you're interested, take a look at [video=youtube;C_OJoz4_cRA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_OJoz4_cRA[/video], all shot on the GH4 with various micro Four-Thirds equipment at skate parks all over California.
