Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Thread

[Brianetta]

Here are some of mine. I've blown a fifth of my gallery space bringing this lot here!

First, a busker playing the nyckelharpa in Newcastle. This one came out brilliantly; my E-P1 was in iAuto mode for convenience (we were in a hurry).
27mm, f/6.3, 1/125s, ISO 200


Next, my model railway. I'm not happy with the noise levels. I think the E-P1 might just be the noisiest digital camera I've owned, and the other two were Kodak compacts. Tips on noise reduction would be appreciated.
34mm, f/22, 13s, ISO 100


Helen, my wife, reading her BeBook on a Metro train. I ws sat next her, and the camera's LCD was back against the front window. I couldn't see the result until after the shot was taken.
14mm, f/9, 1/20s, ISO 250


A bottle of her favourite tipple, Krupnik. It's from Poland.
19mm, f/4, 1/30s, ISO250


Don't let my sister see this until later this month...
42mm, f/13, 3s, ISO 100


Tynemouth Castle and Priory, taken with a second hand Hoya linear polarising filter. Polarising filters are a pain in the bottom with this lens, since the objective lens turns when you focus.
28mm, f/9, 1/250s, ISO 200, polariser about 130° clockwise


Jarrow bus station, in the golden hour.
14mm, f/3.5, 1/5s, ISO 200


The subway at the same station.
14mm, f/3.5, 1/13s, ISO 200


Hope this is helpful. In terms of quality, this is about as good as I'm getting.

How could I miss this one out? It's a very long exposure, surprisingly low noise, with good detail. Not sure if you have access to the full sized image, but it's crisp.
17mm, f/20, 20s, ISO 100

Very underrated lens, IMO.

[Brianetta]

An unusually good result from the kit zoom here! Normally I just accept mediocrity. This time, it surprised me.

Light reflections on the Minjiang remind of an artists palette.

E-P2. 14-42mm.

I've posted some on the Olympus thread but figured it can't hurt to show some here as well. The 14-42mm on the E-PL1.

Four takes on the 14-42 at 8AM. Sun rising to the left.

Three PP in LR3, fourth one is as-imported in LR3, last one is jpeg out of camera, resized in Irfanview.



Seems to me that purples and dark reds are better rendered by the LR RAW importer, when compared to the Olympus jpegs (both in camera and in OV2). The only case when the Oly jpeg colors are not exactly as nature made them.

The kit lens seems to be very good- although MTF tests show the 14-45 to be superior.

Here are a few shots with my G2 and kit lens- just a day at the beach with my daughter~
