Hi,
I have just spent a week trying out the OMD with the 90 - 250. The big advantage for me is that it is so quiet which is crucial for covering live music performances.
However, I have a few issues and would welcome any of your feedback.
1. The focusing with the MMF adapter plus 90 -250 is frustrating. But once it finds the focus the results are very good. I just wonder if older lenses on a new body needs to be updated or firmware updated??
2. Because it takes ages to find focus the lens is buzzing in and out all the time.
Manual focus worked quite well with the added magnifier - very helpful.
3. I also tried the OMD with my 35-100 f2 - the focusing noise is unacceptable worse than with the 90 -250 - again any thoughts on the firmware updates perhaps???
So, here are some examples:-
1. Photo of Mariss Jansons - OMD EM5 plus MMF adapter and 90 -250 ISO 3200
2. Photo of Mitsuko Uchida - OMD plus MMF adapter and 90 - 250 ISO 3200
3.Photo of Nobuyuki Tsujii - Olympus E5 with 90 -250 ISO 3200
4. Photo of Louis Lortie -OMD plus MMF adapter 90 - 250 ISO 3200
5. Photo of Thomas Ades - Olympus E5 90 -250 ISO 3200
I would welcome any thoughts you have on image quality and if the OMD would be considered professional quality. The images from the OMD are certainly very sharp but for my liking they are almost over sharp! I tried taking the sharpness down -2 on the Mitsuko and Mariss Jansons images.
Looking forward to your replies!
Thanks!
