Thanks to Matt Duclos, I got to not only play around with the OM-D camera today, but we got to try some awesome lenses. Between the two of us, we had the Olympus 12mm f/2.0 and 45mm f/1.8, Panaleica 45mm f/1.8, as well as these two tank busters! The Olympus OM-D E-M5 on a $15,000 Leica APO 400mm f/2.8 {} {} The Leica APO's front element compared to the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 {} $15,000 Leica APO 400mm f/2.8 on the left, the $60,000 Angenieux 24-290mm constant f/2.8 Optimo on the right, and oh, the Olympus OM-D camera in the middle =) {} {}
Haha, almost missed the wink. It was about as small and obscured as the OM-D was in front of those two ginormous lenses =D
It was great meeting you, Joe. I hope the SoCal meetup gets straightened out. Would love to meet more folks from the forum.
You too, Matt. Very impressive set of lenses, and as you can see on Facebook's SLR Lounge (which I write for), the feedback has been awesome! Have fun at NAB! - Joe
Wow. Crazy setup. I wonder if it will break if you accidentally hold it by only supporting the body and not the lens.
Sweet glass! I would really love that Leica lens. The Angenieux Optimo is too excessive for me as a fast super-zoom. I'd rather have a Zuiko 90-250mm f/2.8 and a Zuiko 35-100mm f/2. We have interchangeable lenses so we don't have to carry something like that around.
Yes, I'd bet on the mount breaking if only holding on to the camera and not the lens, that's for sure!
