Panasonic Lumix G9 Mark II PRO

edited with spektrafilm, free open source film and print emulation program

Enjoying a bit of summer holidays to do two of my favorite things, ride a bicycle and taking pictures. Photographed with an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III paired with Panasonic Lumix 12-32 mm f/3.5-5.6 and Olympus 40-150 mm f/4-5.6.

Hope you enjoy them. Feedback is welcome, if constructive :)

This telephoto zoom lens remains a high-performing mid-range telephoto zoom lens within M43 system. It is often compared to the Olympus or Panasonic 40–150 mm f/4–5.6 models, as well as the Panasonic 45–200 mm f/4–5.6. I chose it for its internal zoom mechanism (which doesn’t extend any further), its optical quality, its light weight and its compact size (90 mm), which makes it compatible with Olympus Pen cameras. Here are some recent photos taken either with my Olympus Pen E-P7 (photo series 1) or OM3 (photo series 2). Bonus: the lens is really cheap second-hand.

Advice Needed on 2x TC for 200mm f 2.8

Hi readers, I recently bought a 2x TC for my Panasonic 200mm f2.8 in my search for better image quality at 400mm compared to the 100-400 MK1. Even though the speed, bokeh and IQ/sharpness are better at 400mm, I am running into some downsides.

I am experiencing some issues with the focus of this lens combination. Compared to the 100-400;

• The focus seems to be a lot slower in finding the target (animal detect + eye).
• The focus is less accurate (sometimes it misses slightly, causing unsharp subjects)
• I can see the focus hunting in the background (bokeh becoming larger and smaller constantly on CAF)

Combined with the substantial extra weight and loss of zoom I am doubting to continue shooting with this.

Is there anyone who has experience with this combination and could share their thoughts and advice if they got it to work or not?

The camera is a G9M2, all firmware is up to date.

I really like the way it renders the colours. It gives me the vibes of my old film cameras.

Om-1 mki, 40-150 f2.8

I need a standard zoom by september for a trip, and I currently own a GX9 with Pana 25mm f1.7.

Considering the 12-45mm f4 alone costs ~$600 in my region, getting it as a kit seems to be a much better deal, and I have been wanting to upgrade to a BSI sensor for better low light performance. Is around $1650 a good enough price for an OM-3 kit? (not looking into the used market as I don't want to deal with the risks)

Hi I am looking to get a Panasonic Lumix GM1 for my person use. That said, I have a few questions I would like current/previous owners of Lumix GM1 to guide on what too look for while purchasing a used Panasonic Lumix GM1 and could you also let me know for these older GM1 & GM5 camera's is any ideal price to pay for one.

And what is considered a good shutter count on one of these camera's that I should consider before making the purchase?
