    Rumored OM System lenses: 50-200mm f2.8 and 50-250mm f4

    I am trying to push the limits of my current camera, so still learning a lot about photography. I get best results in bright sunlight; in shadows, the images are lackluster. And, forget about BIFs in low light. Maybe it's something I need to improve on, but that is where I expect a camera with a...

    Rumored OM System lenses: 50-200mm f2.8 and 50-250mm f4

    Yes, that butterfly photo looks nice. Thanks for humoring me, because I am just going by hearsay, and do not even own a M43 camera. I would like to upgrade from my FZ150, but the added expense would have to yield a noticeable increase in performance, with regard to IQ, AF, low light...

    Rumored OM System lenses: 50-200mm f2.8 and 50-250mm f4

    Acceptable noise and ISO depends on one's needs, I guess. I think your ISO6400 looks fine but does show noise if you zoom way in, which is what I expect for M43. I think ISO1600 would be the max for most M43 cameras from 5+ years ago. Maybe push to 3200 in a pinch. Robin Wong posted a video a...

    Rumored OM System lenses: 50-200mm f2.8 and 50-250mm f4

    Thanks for teaching me about this; it makes sense. Maybe illuminating a smaller sensor will help a little. For someone shooting with a 1/2.3" sensor, I might be extra sensitive about exposure. My images get noisy at ISO400. I figure with a 2x crop factor, M43 is already handicapped with 75%...

    Rumored OM System lenses: 50-200mm f2.8 and 50-250mm f4

    Thanks for your reply, Neils. Yes, that is about what I suspected. However... 1) might be smaller and lighter when implemented for M43 2) You get 1 stop (or more) of light. This is probably the main selling point for me. 3) If it takes a TC, it can come close to the 100-400 But yes, it will be...

    Rumored OM System lenses: 50-200mm f2.8 and 50-250mm f4

    https://www.43rumors.com/ft4-om-digital-might-announce-the-50-200mm-f-2-8-and-50-250mm-f-4-0-in-late-2023/ Would any of these interest you? I am interested in the 50-250mm f/4. If it is less than 1 kg, weather sealed, and around $1K USD, that would be my future birding lens. (In other words...
