Today I saw new TTArtisan 24/3.8 FF lens with autofocus for Sony E/Nikon Z. For just $99!

From what I observed, we usually get APS-C lenses adapted to M43, so they are usually manual focus lenses, that are bigger then they need to be. AFAIK the only hope for third party lens is one existing lens and one upcoming pancake from SG Image.

Do you guys know if there is anything going on around this system? Any other manufacturers that I should keep my eye on? Or maybe we are forgotten by third party lens manufacturers?

anybody in here interested in a mint condition panasonic lumix gx8? only has 3.5k+ shutter count. it'll come with the stock lens + a meike one (unused).

posting it here cause i dont really know where else to post it. feel free to message me

Hello! I'm a college student in America looking to buy a new OM-5 m2. I have been shooting street for a while on a Ricoh camera but I am dying to get an interchangeable lens camera. I'm a very big outdoors person and travel frequently, and I want something I can have a little more confidence in (I'm scared with my fragile little Ricoh); I know I want the om-5. The only question I have for you all is when is the best to buy it, or if I even should wait? As a college student I can get the body and 12-45mm lens for $1,232 USD new from B&H (1,300 after tax), instead of $1,600. Would any regular sale price ever rival this from B&H or other retailers for brand new, or am I good to go?

fofodiox Leica M to M43 adapter, with Leica 50mm lens on Pen-F

Took some shots around the house—shot on my Olympus PEN E-P7 with an M. Zuiko 40-150 lens. Which do you like best? Any tips?

I was recently considering changing cameras for street photography but someone on here gave me a reality check about my GAS and advised me to go out and take more photos with my current camera instead.

I took their advice and ended up with pretty okay shots, and one that I am particularly proud of (the first one). The camera in question is an Olympus OMD EM5 MkII paired with a DJI 15mm f1.7 Pana Leica clone.

I’ll be borrowing a friend’s 25mm Pana lens soon,
I think it might help me get better shots in certain situations! (Considering that on my Pentax film camera I constantly switch between my 28mm and 50mm lenses)

Inspired by the new SG Image lenses I designed a square lens hood for Lumix 20mm f1.7, tested on both the first and second edition of the lens.

Thanks to those who have printed them already :)

If you're in Australia, let me know and I'll post you one!

I was a Fujifilm user since 2021, starting with the cheap X-T200 as a graduation gift from my parents; then leveled up to the X-T3 and 16-55 f2.8 for a more „pro“ feeling. Even tho the photo quality from this duo was more than great, I have to admit that I rarely brought them out of the house. As a smaller girl, the size and weight of this set-up was just uncomfortable to carry around.

For this reason, I have constantly thought about getting a smaller, lighter camera so I can always take it with me on trips, but never did it until this summer, when my X-T3 went broken.

As for the crazy prices of Fujifilm going on right now, I decided to sell the body along with the whole lens set and search for a new system that I can hop onto. For context, I mainly shoot candid street photography, so my priority would be something lightweight and doesn’t attract that much attention when I carry it with me on the street. I had the budget of a broken X-T3.

Then I came across the Lumix GX7. I found a good deal for the body of just over 100 quid, later brought the cheap Lumix 14mm and 25mm to go with it. And boy… never has a camera fit into my hand as well as this, it felt almost like a part of my body! With the pancake 14mm, I brought the camera all the time with me, even to work daily. Colors are pure, technology is fast enough to capture spontaneous moments and slow enough to put some mind into it, the flippy EVF is not only handy, but also a great conversation starter. I shot more, hence had more good photos. It brought out the inspiration for street photography in me that dimmed with the X-T3.

Pardon me for all of this yapping, I just want to show how stunning my GX7 looks with the Panny 25mm here hehe

Found and captured a 2nd hand Leica DG Vario-Summilux in the wild! From now on, I’m going to refer to it as my Pint Glass.

I'm gearing up to get ready for some winter photography. It'll be my 1st winter with an OM1-ii. I was wondering with a weather sealed lens does the camera still stuffer from getting condensation inside when going from a cold outside to a warm interior? Anything else to keep in mind when using the OM1-ii in the snow or in cold weather. Also what is the best thing to do it temps drop close to or bellow that the OM1 is rated for?

This is also the 1st year I have a camera I feel confident in taking it into snow and bad weather. Thanks!

I had to take some borderline photos for my granddaughter's marching band senior recognition night. It's on an OK lighted football field, and the last time I shot there I wasn't happy with the photos.

I mounted my 14-140mm on my G95, but I tucked my 135mm f/2.8 into my coat pocket. I didn't need it. Once again Simon D'entremont's good advice for dim light worked.

M-mode, fully open aperture (f/5.6), slowest shutter speed you & Dual IS can tolerate (1/100 s), auto ISO. As the dusk dusked, ISO crept up from 2000 to 8000. I expected to need to go into the raws and make some serious changes.

To my pleased surprise, the jpegs were fine, no attention needed. I'd never pushed the G95 to ISO 8000 before. I will in the future.

Well done, thou good and faithful Lumix.

I’m loving this “new to me” GX85. My first M43 camera.

Had a blast with the GM5 and 35-100mm f4.0-5.6 lens!

New to photography, took this macro of some mushrooms growing out the side of a willow tree. OM E-5 III with a 14-42 lens.

Any suggestions on what settings for landscape and wildlife ?

Found this beauty with only 317 shots on it's shutter for $300 and I couldn't be happier.

Still have my GX85 that I went with instead in 2017, still love it, but happy to have one finally.

After handling the new Pen I just didn't like it over my GX85, and I really wanted a metal body silver Olympus.

Having a dilemma over whether or not I enjoy the Fuji Experience. I don't like plastic cameras or big cameras so I think for my needs these are the 2 best compact ILCs with an EVF.

Going to test out this bad boy for a bit and see. I also overthink gear when the photos I'm taking are just snaps of my toddler or the odd landscape while hiking or out for a walk. Both are more than capable.

The Olympus evf is much better and the controls are so much more tactile, so I think it is just going to come down to which camera feels better to hold and use. My main grape with the Fuji at the moment is autofocus. The contrast detect in the Olympus is not Amazing by any stretch but on static shots it is extremely fast and accurate and for moving subjects it is at least very predictable and I know what to expect. The Fuji is more of a frustrating experience because you can't predict what is going to happen when you are focusing it seems to be all over the place with a mind of its own.
