The shallow DOF and background blur on the leaf and bolt picture is awesome ... like it was shot with a FF DSLR.
Which lens .... 75/1.8?
Bobbytan I edited the above post. All taken with the 45 f1.8. I have a full frame and I can say I am enjoying the OM-D so much it has not been used for a while.
Bob I can see you enjoyed yourself in the church, which looks like a fine building. Great pics again.

I am liking it so much I am slowing off my FF Canon gear. I have already sold my 24L II and 17-40L. The 85L II is next. There is not much that I can do with my 85L that I cannot do with the 75/1.8 ... seriously - and the 75 on the OM-D is so much more fun to carry and shoot with.
Some more, a few portraits and some detail shots of various rusty and old stuff
All processed in Silver Efex 2 Pro from Raw files, quality wise they have been worsened (added grain, vignetting etc) so they aren't really a proof of what the camera/lenses are capable of.
Loving Silver Efex pro but have a feeling I need to learn to "not overdo it". I do however love old film effects as well as a quite harsh black and white look.
Critique of course welcome if anyone feels up for it :-P
Not sure why the Exif doesn't show though, it usually shows even though edited in SEP2.
First picture with the Olympus 45mm 1.8 @ 3.2.
The three others with Pan-Leica 25mm @ 1.4 and 1.4 and 8
Wilbus the images are gorgeous, super, like them to bits. The conversions suit each image as much and brings to life the portraits. Nothing to critic here of any value other than to say , slightly to large for my screen.
Thank you very much Juju, I agree on the size! Didn't notice it until after I had uploaded but they are indeed a bit too big. I choose a maximum size of 2000x2000 pixels but will lower that to 1200 or 1400 for my next set.
Thanks again :-)
Thanks Jonrock, I actually agree on you, my own favorite is number #2 aswell, both Sandra pose, hair in the wind and overall style turned out to a good combination :-)
Loving this little camera and the 25mm and 45mm, strongly considering the 75mm now but can't decide between that, the Oly 12mm, Panasonic 7-14 or the Voigtländer 17,5mm. We almost have too many good choices for m43!
Wilbus it is a hard choice if monies are there for other things as well. But a good position to be in having good choices as there are. It is what finally made be get the OM-D, knowing the most important thing, that there is good optics .I am seriously pondering if I aught to let go of my few L lenses and camera which would fund this amazing little system. It has truly blown me away. Time will tell.
It's a very hard choice, like you said, the money is there for something else as well although the selling of other camera equipment will fund much of the OM system.
I actually sold my entire Nikon FF system after having bought the EM-5, I don't think I'll regret it seeing how great the system is so far and how nice the lenses are :-)
I just need to decide wether I like a super wide angle lens or just a wide angle (I love wide angle/super wide angle).
Great photos, I love the first one especially! What lens did you use for these?
Well that lens made a huge difference when stopped down.
I did see alot of difference with my Nikon AF 50mm 1.4 aswell but not quite as much.
Two more from my short little session (really just out walking and looking at boats but as long as the camera is riding along any time can be a good time for some portraits :-) )
FlypenFly I have a couple of those lenses and have as yet to get an adapter. I also have the CY Zeiss T* `Planer 50/f1.7 for which I have had the adapter a couple of days. Must use it more and see what it works best for.
Very nice to hear Juju, I'll continue on this track then as far as B&W goes, maybe I'm finally starting to find my style after 6 years of shooting? :-)
Really like the angle of that portrait aswell, nice and dreamy.
Here are some in color we did last afternoon, the sun was setting and it quickly disappeared behind the trees.
I did have some difficulties when shooting, I looked at the screen and thought a whole lot of pictures were blurry, can't understand why, shot using Olympus 45mm F1.8. First I thought it was due to motion blur from me but the shutter times were 1/100 so with the IBIS it shouldn't be a problem at all, I've hand held far slower times then that with the same lens indoors while testing.
I turned of face recognition and did a whole number of other things but nothing really helped. It may just be that I zoomed in too much on the screen when checking focus. Checking them all on the computer I got far more keepers then I thought but still feels a little soft, not sure why.
Has anybody had these problems? I experienced the same thing with the Pan-Leica 25mm the other day. Might be something that I am just not used to of course, the IBIS stabilizes everything nicely in the viewfinder so I believe that works.
Anyway, like I said, a couple of color ones. The idea was to get it all a little autumn fashion like.
Great shots all! Wilbus, love the last few posts you have had....especially the B/W. In regards to soft images, what AF were you using, AF-S or AF-C? I find that when using AF-C it does a rather poor job at tracking and I get ever so slightly oof shots. I can honestly say I have never once missed a shot using AF-S
Over the last several months I haven't had much time for shooting other than my kids. Here are a couple recent shots.....
Wilbus I know this has no absolute relevance as it is a different system, as a generality it may well explain that in this system it is possible there could be quirks. An interesting read anyway.
Shot this morning in Long Beach (near the Queen Mary) with the Panasonic 100-300 lens. Plane was way too high to include the Queen Mary in the picture, unfortunately.
