Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ Image Thread

the macro setting on the lens combined with the macro scene in the scene selection mode produces nice results!

Taken with the OM-D and the 43mm (macro setting) on the 12-50mm. It's a pretty decent macro lens and almost makes me want to not acquire another Pan-Leica 45mm f2.8.

Been a few days... time to wake the thread back up.

It's over one month since I use my OM-D E-M5 with 12-50 and I find this combo very useful. I am only exploring the possibilities this set is offering and the more I dig into the features the more I like the camera.

The one and only time I used the 12-50mm on my recent vacation. It was my only lens capable of close focus.



Seems like a good general zoom. A bit long. I'm not totally convinced that I like the way it handles the specular highlights in the OOF background.

Was testing the E-M5's 9-fps speed and the 12-50.

Any good results? With the bikes coming in your direction, how did the E-M5 cope with the rest of the shots? How many were sharp and in focus? I've been playing with settings myself and I'm finding it rather hard to get me going.

CAF is not that fast compared to semi pro dslr. Black out of the EVF is a problem to. But I'm always looking for hints to improve my workflow and camera settings.

BTW, if you talk abt 9 fr/sec, you have to set SAF (single AF) and that would mean only one shot is in focus, the camera does not track focus for the other shots fired. If you set for CAF (contiguous focus) the camera tries to focus the subject while it tracks it but the camera lowers the speed to max. 4,5 fr/sec as I remember correctly.

Interested in hearing your comments.
