Olympus - 3 new lenses
#27
Hi Klaus,
Quote:I think MFT is mostly awesome. The vast majority of their lenses make perfect sense. However, everything faster than f/1.4 is beyond my understanding really. That's when the costs increase exponentially in order to achieve a gain in capabilities that are a magnitude cheaper to achieve on other systems.

However, that's just my personal opinion and an opinion is simply not relevant for the rest of the world (well, mostly).


It becomes relevant when it is the only format you use to shoot with Smile. The increase is just as exponential as with other systems when you get to those apertures, and if anything, slightly cheaper generally speaking - you need to forget about equivalence here, basically because these lenses are much harder to design and manufacture, investment costs are high, and production numbers are low.


It's horses for courses really - people who need these lenses, will buy them, and I guess there is a market for them, otherwise they wouldn't be produced. As mentioned in another reply, personally I would not likely buy those lenses, as I have another system as well, and for occasional use I can always revert to a metabones adapter Smile.


And yes, MFT is mostly awesome. Several young people in my circles are starting to use them to get better quality than with P&S cameras or cell phones, simply because they want to get better quality pictures, and want to use exchangeable lenses, without having to carry a lot of extra weight around.


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 ....
