My daughter this morning, with Oly 75mm f/1.8, wide open near MFD, available light indoors. It's shot at ISO 1250, 1/25s (love that IBIS), but I had my EC set way wrong (the background was way brighter than her, and I didn't compensate properly), so I had to push it a stop in RAW, so it's equivalent to ISO 2500.
Absolutely gorgeous, ethereal pure-orange sunset yesterday. Offset by the fact I live in BFE (the southeast) and the closest thing we have to a "mountain" is an entrance ramp to an interstate.
What to do? Quickly grab a magnolia tree as a foreground item, go through the 18 menu steps to enable 5-shot bracketing on the OM-D (thanks Olympus), overcook it slightly in HDR Efex 2 and call it 'art'
Experimenting with use of the 15cm MFD of the Pana-Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8. This Assasin bug nymph, possibly Zelus luridus, is on a miniature chrysanthemum flower about 3cm diameter, making the bug's body length about 6 to 8 mm. I realized when looking for an ID on the bug that it's tail is OOF because it curls up toward the lens. This is full-frame, not a crop.
Picked up the OM-D about 4 days ago and took it to a real shoot last night. Under continuous lighting, OLY 45mm f/1.8 at f/1.8.... This little thing amazes me!

And it worked! Great photo. I'm personally not sold on the composition, but the overall look is gorgeous.
juju - colorful, crisp and sharp. What's not to like!
dkmiles1 - I've had mine only three more days than you. This thing is amazing. So is your portrait! Nice.
I keep getting amazed what this camera/sensor can achieve. Below is an image taken with the Olympus 45/1.8 at f/4 along with a 100% crop. I don't know about you, but that's sharp!
