Hi Pawel,

Thanks for adding your experience. I’ve not used the 20mm 1.4 Pro yet although I have heard many good things about it.

All the best

Great article, it matches my m43 experience. One underrated lens IMHO is 20mm f1.4. It arguably delivers 80% IQ of 1.2-line lenses for half the price. I find 40-mil FF equivalent focal length a nice and versatile 35 & 50 replacement. It’s significantly smaller too!

Ah ok, I assumed it was indoors, being a swim meet. Glad to hear that the lens is performing well for you. I’ll be adding more OM System content soon.

All the best

Oh, that was outdoors, but the sky was pretty overcast. I was surprised it looked sharp despite the higher than usual ISO.

Hi Michael,

That shot looks fantastic. Looked like the setup coped well with indoors light too. Thanks for getting back to me with your findings.

All the best
David

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the well wishes. We are all safe and fine thanks. We’re south of the epicentre but felt it strongly here. Some cracks in the walls and some minor damage but thankfully all safe and well.

I hope you’ll come back and let me know your thoughts on the 40-150mm pro once you’ve had a bit of time with it as I’d be interested to hear your opinion on it. Best of luck to your son in his swimming competition.

All the best
David

Hope you and your family are okay in Cebu.

Just to stay on topic, I ordered the 40-150 mm f4 pro. I hope it arrives in time for me to use it for my son’s swimming competition

Indeed. Am not a professional photographer, and if I print anything I would most likely print something small.
As for the 40-150, I was referring to the f/4 pro.
Thanks!

Thats a shame. Regarding lenses, perhaps weigh up whether having lighter gear will actually make you shoot more or whether you’d be happy carrying the extra weight for the improved image quality and often build quality. Then also look at what you’re going to do with the photos. If it’s just for socials and perhaps printing some small sized A4 type prints or keeping on your computer etc then is the additional image quality worth the cost? I can say the 8-25mm f/4 pro is an excellent lens and not heavy. I owned it a while back. The 40-150 f/2.8 pro is an excellent lens but it’s not an ideal size for travel. You’d really have to want to use it to carry it. The f/4 version is much smaller but I haven’t personally used or handled it.
