What are your experiences with factory quality control of m43 lenses? Are they fine straight off-the-shelves? Or, like Nikon/Canon/Sigma/Tamron lenses, do your brand new lenses require servicing due to some QC defects, e.g. de-centered elements, dust in lenses etc etc.

Contemplating a move to m43 and appreciate any input on this.

Is that a reflection? Looks funky...

Some problem with the upload, looks much better in full resolution.

All my MFT lenses have been good out of the box. I don't recall hearing much about QC issues.

Tx, no doubt about that, I am already in love

Got a chance to stop at Hocking Hills for about a half hour today on a way home from some meetings. I haven't had a chance to shoot much recently, so I was very pleased to get some decent shots, even though everything is dead right now.

Olympus 12/2:

Awesome set! That second to last is a wall hanger for sure. I finally got to give the Lumix 7-14 some love . . .

#2 and #4 have some extra processing in NIK color efex pro 2 just for fun.

Jordan smashing images loving the compositions of them all.
Bob stunning images once again.
ultrapix enjoy I wish I had the 75mm.

PL 25....

Messing about with some wireless flash with the FL-600R. Olympus's system is certainly more finicky than Nikon's when it comes to wireless - the remote flash's sensor has to definitely be line-of-sight, or very close to it, to fire...not so with CLS. Oh well.

Nice shot with the flash!

More of my wanderings today:

Experimenting with some different crops, square, panorama-sort-of-style-squashy-weird-image, "wrong" compositions :-P

All with PL25

Nice set!

Here's a couple more downtown shots applying similar PP as above.

Nice shots all, here are some recent ones with the 75 f/1.8
