This Camera Changed My Mind About Micro Four Thirds - Olympus E-M1 Mark ii
Nice pictures! And 4K 😊finally! Now I can really enjoy the good stuff. Well done. Any camera can take photographs. However, if you can't take a better picture with a better camera, then it's not the camera's fault. Just saying 😇
Can this lens be used on Sony A6000 (APSC)
Yes it can.
maybe.. but is it just me but the OM-1 seems about the same size as some of the full frames? it's bigger than my nikon dslr. but it has some cool features like in camera focus bracketing.
Hi Chris, why don't you make a video with the best landscape settings on the Olympus EM1 Mark ii?
Love the pic of the single post, Chris. I recently chopped in my Canon APS-C kit for M43 Panasonic G9, partly as a result of your channel.
Wow! Venus Laowa 6mm f/2?
Yes that’s the one.
Not full frame but is great even g2 take amazing picture
What`s the strange trend to make smoke from water with the shutter speed? you will never see it this way by naked eye, so why? it looks unnatural
You have ruined photography for me! I hoped the best equipment would result in outstanding photos for me but in every video you demonstrate it is the photographer.
8:00 you can trick the camera into believing it's on a tripod if you screw in a quick release plate. At least mine lets me select high res shot that way, but ideally you want to have it on a tripod anyway, because the total time to capture is a bit slow in that mode
First your accent. So difficult to follow. At the top 12 minutes, without addressing your own question, which will take only a few minutes. What a waste of time?
Thanks for watching. Or should I say… fanks fur wotchin.
Which lens was used?
That was the Sony 28-70mm kit lens.
Still a 36 mpx sensor regardless of the age
Can the tree not be removed?
I tried. It’s way too heavy and wedged in at the bottom.
Sorry I know this is 2 years old but I was searching to see if I was alone with the lag. I shoot a lot of cinema spaces its very dark but I can see everything fine with the optical viewfinder but when used an evf the first time it really held me up having to move and wait for the viewfinder to catch up with every micro adjustment on the tripod. I thought maybe I just needed to educate myself a bit further as I found switching to bulb made things better but it was a bit fo a pain compared to what I was used to. I guess different tools for different jobs
Hey I tried this but still have my 5DII 2 years (3? 4?) later and can't get it to sell for a good price. Now I'm forever in doubt to have the 5D IR converted but then I'm still lugging 2 heavies around.
I thought this camera has an built in ND filter
No the Mark iii model has that.
Good point in that, who cares about what lens you use, its the composition which makes a photo great. And although better lensesa may take better images no lens will make you a better photographer.
The first TTArtisan lens I purchased was the 50 mm f1.2 for micro four thirds. It’s a heavy weight but the build quality is great and it’s super smooth focussing ring. The performance is totally adequate to my amateur photographer eyes. I’ve recently added the 25mm f2 and 50 mm f2 as their compact size are just the right balance for the EM1 mkii and EM5 mkiii. Both lenses are solid well made and produce lovely images. Yes they are all manual lenses but it makes you have to think about getting the settings right before pressing the shutter button.
I can't believe they found someone to buy and wear that t shirt 😂😂😂. My old Town. Yes tt artisans make some nice lenses. I have 2 now. My lenses are L mount. They proper lenses are hideous in price. The quality is very on par but you loose as you say auto focus and weather sealing. So far I'm happy with my cheap lenses.
I have a couple..Love my pancake 27mm f2.8...possibly my fave on Fuji bodies.
Check out the hipster lens hood on that!
I know you should M43, have u looked into the Sigma 56mm f/1.4? A bit more compression and basically the same amount of bokeh.
I sort of disagree with your statement about not paying too much for third party lenses - but in a good way :) With ALL lenses you do - to some extent - get what you pay for. A kit 18-50mm lens bundled with a Canon or a Nikon or whatever will never compete on sharpness, contrast, or flare with a more pricey version. The same is true for third party offerings, however, if it is your dream to be a professional then the cheaper end of third parties offerings is the place to start as long as you accept that - in each lens - there will be weaknesses (generally if you push them to work at their extremes). I've gone in at the Contemporary end of the Sigma lens range - I know that they are not weather sealed and don't have IS - but they do a damned good job for the price. Cheaper third party lenses can also be equated to vintage glass, although some vintage glass does have a certain "quality" about it that some authors find appealing. Good video Chris. Definitely opens up a debate.
is it possible to use this lens on a RF mount?
No it’s a micro four thirds lens.
@@ChrisBaitson I see so there does not exist any adapter to it?
@AgainstThisWorld no, the MFT mount is much smaller.
I just picked up a 6d off of mpb for 200 bucks
New to your videos... From a M43 user, You've Definitely earned yourself a new subscriber...👍
Thanks Matt. Glad you enjoy!
Is this live full mode feature also on the EM10 mark II?
Kit lenses can’t be too bad because if they weren’t , and always resulted in shots that were dull or not sharp etc. , people would give up quickly and not go for the pro lenses as they evolve, or decide to make a job as a photographer.
I bought a 5d mark II a while back and a 70-200 f4 for shooting sports and the 50mm 1.8. I just picked up a EM10 mark II that I love and I’m asking you what system I should buy more lenses to? I’ve been for a 17-40mm or a 24-70mm 2.8 (sigma or Tamron) so I can shoot landscape with my 5d but it’s so heavy and I love my little m43. What would you have put your money into? Should I go with a Olympus 12-40mm 2.8 and maybe pick up a better m43 like your m1 mark II or keep investing in the EF system and a 6d or 5m3? I picked up a manfrotto 055 so I’m planning on shooting landscape and indoor dancing! 🤔 Thanks!
Awesome pics and video. And I love MFT 😍
Great video and great photos I would be too afraid of slipping in, even though I have had no issues climbing to the top of the narrow staircases in York Minster, the crown of the Statue of Liberty, and Notre Dame Cathedral (pre-fire), to take photos back when I was hauling my heavy Canon gear before I switched to MFT.
Definitely don't buy an EVF for that camera - the E-P1 is not compatible with EVFs!
thanks for putting the time making this video
I like the video but with my head phones on I was truning the volume up and down with the music being so much louder than your voice
Just want to say a big thank you for making these videos Chris. I have thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot from each and every one of them. Keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed this video Chris, especially as it was about photography in general. 100% agree with you on this topic although if you could afford the best quality lens you would get a sharper image. Maybe your viewer thinks we all have creative flare but just need a better camera. I think people have to ask themselves what they want from this first. For me, photography is about escaping from the four walls and enjoying the outdoors on my own. It doesn’t matter to me whether I take a single picture or not, photography is about me time. Keep up the good work mate 😊
Do you have a link for this lens. Want to pair it with the Canon 7D
I just want tot take the opportunity to say how much I always enjoy your videos Chris. Always a pleasure.
I appreciate that! Thanks for supporting!
Great video Chris. I only have the 45mm in the 1.8 line up and absolutely love it. The size of an egg and cost me £130. I also have the 20mm f1.4 which I absolutely love, so for now am holding off on the 25mm as I feel it's 'a bit close' and I really like the effective 40mm focal length.
I love that lens. Extremely small and amazing images.
It really is!
Hello Chris. lovely photographs Thanks for this. What filter system do you use please ?
I use the K&F Square Pro kit.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Excellent as always such a beautiful part of Yorkshire 👍
It really is!
Beautiful pix! I'm using filters but see I should get a dedicated Infrared converted camera. Depending on price I do think it's worth it.
I had the Lumix 14-42mm kit lens with my first MFT camera the G7. I always liked the IQ for city and landscapes it was sharp across the frame. I buy lenses that interest me I don't look at sharpness or MTF charts any more. I picked up a Samsung NX500 for fun APSC BSI 28MP sensor but honestly I prefer the IQ from the 16MP Lumix GX80 or the Ricoh GXR cameras some of which are only 12MP. High resolution really is a niche solution for commercial photographers, despite the fact that a lot of large YT channels try to convince us that 20-24MP is dated
Excellent as usual Chris I love the simplicity of ur photos which very much prove the point that u made this video for in the first place Absolutely beautiful results 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Chris, been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoy them. Could I ask what filters you are using with your Laowa 6mm? Got the old Lee100 filter system, but causes significant vignetting and more so with the polarising filter on. Looking for a new system for my Laowa 6mm but not sure what to get?
I use the K&F Square Pro filter system with it.
Even your “throw aways” are wonderfully well composed. Great work and good information as always!📷📷📷
Thank you!
You are right - any relationship between the cost of the lens and the "quality" of the image is a myth. However, be aware that if you push a cheaper lens to work at its extremes then contrast and sharpness WILL take a hit. I've got the Olympus 14-150 "plastic fantastic" lens - a lovely pit of kit for the price - but last year used it at the 150mm end to try and capture storm waves in the sea. Even shot RAW all the images were soft, and contrast was a real pain to try and recover. For this outing I should have used my 40-150 f/2.8 PRO because that would have given me much quicker AF and also superior sharpness. That waterfall image captured in the autumn was an absolute belter by the way! Very nice indeed.
