Hi Rover,

 

In addition to your comments, it actually is possible to get even thinner DoF if so required, and that is exactly what I did today. If it is not a problem to carry or use heavier lenses, one can, by using a metabones Speed Booster adapter. I happen to have one for Canon EF to MFT, the Ultra X 0.64x, and that boosts the aperture of a lens by 1 1/3 of an f-stop, increases sharpness, and gives a remaining crop factor equal to APS-H, 1.28x. If and when I have some time, I may post some examples.

 

As to fast native MFT lenses, the manufacturers can only be applauded to creating them, and funnily enough, they still have size and weight advantages, as well as price advantages, contrary to the belief of some. As to equivalent DoF, if one just wants to have a few eye-lashes in DoF, the Metabones adapter is the way to go, but for a single full eye, wide open with these new fast native lenses is just fine.

 

I can actually put 4 to 6 MFT lenses in my jacket pockets, without these dragging me down, something I never could with FF - one or 2 at most, and generally that was much more uncomfortable Smile.

 

I am looking forward to see the test results for the F/1.4 12, especially as that fits my style of shooting better than a 14 mm on MFT.

 

Kind regards, Wim

Gear: Canon EOS R with 3 primes and 2 zooms, 4 EF-R adapters, Canon EOS 5 (analog), 9 Canon EF primes, a lone Canon EF zoom, 2 extenders, 2 converters, tubes; Olympus OM-D 1 Mk II & Pen F with 12 primes, 6 zooms, and 3 Metabones EF-MFT adapters ....
