When I had sunk the GX8, I set up a Flag and wished to write an article on the M43 system. This is not, I would like to come. In fact, I always wanted to write such an article on Aunt Zhang, and let more friends who do not visit the photography forum to understand the M43 system.
I think so, of course you can not choose the M43 system, but if you know the characteristics of this system, you can choose one more room (or choose the difficult or picking opportunities), maybe it is what you want What is it?
========== Then there is a consistent disclaimer ==========
In order to avoid common disputes on the forum, I must first state the following points.
The biggest short board of the M43 system is the limitation of the quality of the small bottom . If you want to pursue high quality, the most cost-effective method is to stop tossing directly on the full-width machine and match the little blue princess in the red circle.
There is no end to the pursuit of picture quality, but when you buy a camera, you need to consider how much you need to have a good picture and the amount of money and physical energy you need to pay. To engage in business, professional participation in the exhibition, it is to get full-scale, but also to get better 645 up. As for sweeping a street, making a visit to this place, sending a circle of friends to the photography community, and magnifying a dozen inches of film-mounted walls, the M43 system is sufficient for the task.
One of the reasons why I chose M43 was that I did not think it was necessary to count the number, but I vowed to defend your right to count a few hairs.
========== Next we officially started ==========
M43 Overview
What is M43? There is a scientific definition and historical roots, and here is a definition of pragmatism - all Olympus and Panasonic bodies (interchangeable lenses) and lenses that you can now search in the online store are M43. Now. Many friends may also like to call the M43 micro-single, here to clarify a concept, micro-single is a Dafa legalist registered, so I still call M43 more scientific.
What is the biggest feature of M43? That is the "moderate", these M43 from the birth forehead read "moderate" word, M43 family is the size, weight, lens group, playability, focus, operation, life, quality, price (one year later a good rational compromise. All aspects can meet daily use.
The size and weight of the wheel , the vast majority of M43 machines and lenses you carry will not trouble children, hanging cervical neck one day will not be uncomfortable, tourism climbing mountain forest when the more superiority. Come to feel the difference between the volume of my homeowner and the auxiliary machine... (By the way, Amway camerasize, this camera is a volume comparison site, you're a good helper)
On the lens group and playability , Matsushita Obana's nested fixed-focus zoom, and Sanyang Sigma make up for the bustle, not to mention the fact that the flange is completely connected to the small ring. There are loose eyes of the night and the light of the Ogami, and they want to burn some of the burns. Not every one is classic, but it will definitely find something useful. This is one of the reasons I chose the M43 instead of the black card or the LX100, GR and the like.
On the focus and operation , the new generation of 1600w and later M43 machine, especially Panasonic is to achieve the ultimate contrast contrast, plus a fool to the extreme of the touch screen to focus on shooting, allowing you to fully enjoy the fun of shooting. And a little bit more high-end point of the M43 machine does not lack the operation of the pulsator and shortcut keys, let alone loose head on their own aperture ring. This is also the reason why I did not choose some card machines and low-end entry SLRs. The focus is unbearable for me and other street sweepers. With the addition of mirrorless mirrors and the ability to open the electronic shutter, the M43 system's shutter can't be heard.
On life , some people think that the M43 has a short battery life, but it seems to me that it is not a single thing. How can a battery make two or three hundred shots, is it not enough? Not enough M43 battery heads and not mostly with two batteries can sink? Every year, carrying 2 pieces of GM1 standby power and 1 piece of gx8 standby power means that this thing is really not on the pressure.
On the picture quality , ah, you know, enough is enough. Well, hahaha.
On price . . . Let's come to the price of a year later. . . The pricing strategy of the M43 family is very different from that of other factories. The M43 walks on the rouge pricing method . To put it plainly, it is to open up higher and lower prices . Do you think that when the GX8 first came out, the price was 10,000 yuan. When I had this money, I would add a bit more to the D810? Therefore, everyone may understand why, under the evaluation of many M43 machines and lenses, people would reply “Whoever buys this is just crazyâ€, not to mention friends from other doors, and Panasonic’s death loyalty like me will also feel like crazy. However, the GX8 dropped to more than 4k in 1 year. The camera is also, ah, Matsuzaka 42.5 had just come out 1w, it does not slowly fell to 6k.
However, those who did not buy will not take back those comments when the M43 new machine came out. The friends who bought after the price cuts are also very boring and fortune, and they rarely go back and comment again. This is how M43 evaluation stickers are always worthless. one of the reasons. On the other hand, other manufacturers, Dafa shoe factory moved the camera prices also increase it. . . According to the previous experience, compared with the price just released, the M43 body is close to the waist, and the lens is still suitable for 60% off. Therefore, when you choose M43, you must have firm beliefs and so on. . . Try not to try fresh, try not to try fresh, try not to try fresh, important things to say three times. However, there is also a lot of disadvantages in the pricing method of rouge, and it is easy to be squeezed into the market by others. Now the new GX85 and the like have more rational prices, but one can imagine that there will not be much room for price reduction.
When selecting the body lens of the M43 system, especially new products, please engrave these two pictures in mind
M43 is not suitable for cognac
Any camera can be used to shoot anything you can see, but the surgery industry specializes, there will always be some of their own strengths and weaknesses.
Of course, M43 can take pictures of the scenery, but in a place far away from special dangers, if you fly all of them and live, will you be able to make a full payment of your money? Therefore, M43 is not suitable for serious scenery photography.
Of course, M43 can also shoot portraits, but now most people still prefer sugar water tablets (non-derogatory is only used to intuitively describe the relationship between people and the background), while the M43's virtual ability is indeed worse than the full range, have to be shot on the M43 Sugar tablets, the input may not even be quite as good as the full effect, so the M43 is not recommended to take a sugar portrait.
As for the business ... ... the lighthouse is good, you pull out a GM1, the uncle of party A absolutely absolutely ten thousand alpaca flies and you want to have the next single. . .
M43 is suitable for cognac
The small size is not noticeable for everyday carrying and one-handed operation
Cut silent shutter sounds almost inaudible
General speed of focus
Touch screen focus selection
A good amount of light is enough
High sharpness
Weak ability is weak or vice versa
Small bottom earns telephoto, and the telephoto head is not too big nor too heavy
The answer is already there
That is to travel to this tour, sweep the street, outdoor macro, lazy people climb the mountain to climb the birds, run the show
To sum up is to emphasize the light and to solve the problem of whether or not there is no need to produce a large film, but also a certain degree of scalability and flexibility, the most suitable for fixed-focus enthusiasts.
Let me talk about the fuselage, Obba I just borrowed from others to play a few times I will not say more, only know that EM5 MKii is very good, other EM series are more expensive and relatively new, Pen F is also very good, On the Panasonic side, if you are planning to buy a good portable body, it is highly recommended that the new GX85 has all of its historical legacy. If you want to minimize it then GM1, if you have a big hand, All requirements are very high, then GX8, video GH4, or other GH5. The price is cheap and the G7 is a conscience.
For example, GX85
Interested friends can refer to the GX8 sun bill I wrote:
There is also a GM1 sun bill written by this friend.
The light is not to practice, the next is the performance of the lens groups that we are most concerned about. I will briefly review some of the lenses I have used here, and will provide proofs. The selection criteria of the proofs mainly reflect the characteristics of the lenses. It's not just a big movie. Everyone has a look at the camera. Every one of them is my own shot. Basically it's 500px. The order is based on the focal length from small to large. One of Opa's 60 micro shots will be the heart of all the friends of photography.
Various types of common Panasonic lenses
From the shortest to the longest
12mm-32mm
The dog head conscience, GF series and GM series partners will be very familiar with this head, focal lengths practical, focusing fast, compact, and sent a stabilization. In addition to the need to twist your hands a little toss, it is quite smoothly. And at the current price point, the imaging is still very conscience, and the aperture is also the standard 3.5-5.6, sunny enough, and the house can jump in a flash. In general, if you are not targeting the M43 with a very clear focus, it is recommended that you retain this kit. Feel free to put a few samples to feel. In short, this head is the conscience of the dog to demarcate, unless you have to be on the electric head, otherwise there will be no need to consider any dog ​​with similar focal length changes.
Money tips
If you feel that the 12mm segment is not wide enough, you can spend about 200 dollars to raise or lower a level and one Ricoh GW1 additional mirror. The caliber is a perfect match, and you can use it when you screw it on. There is no hidden corner in the pro-test. In addition to being a bit dangerous, it's not worse than the combination of the previous 14mm 2.5+ Dafa add-on mirrors, not to mention the 12-32 flexibility after twisting the attached mirrors.
The effect is as follows. Notice the dark corner in the figure because I screwed gw1 on the 12-32 UV lens directly. You can remove the UV lens without any problem.
This removes UV just fine
14mm f2.5
Once the famous hang cake, this year has not been recommended, because the picture quality is not good, feel poor focus ring to die. The advantage is that the focus is small and fast, and it can be a wide angle with an additional mirror for Dafa, but because we already have a conscience of cheap combination of 12-32+gw1, this head is no longer necessary. This head stayed in the hand for a while. The film was not satisfied and it was not on. Since this stuff isn't worth it, I just won't put a purchase link.
Matsushita 15mm 1.7
Meet the hateful scandal party must enter the lens! The disadvantage is the large purple side moving, but in most cases will not be encountered, even if there is lightroom a straw thing, the overall picture quality is still very good, sharp image, and 20 cakes, but the focus speed with 20 cake is simply not a dimension. And because of the aperture ring, it can improve the convenience of operation, this head is equipped with GM1 is simply a small artifact scanning the street. In addition, the all-metal body feels refreshing. If these two pieces are 20 cakes below, it is sure to be inconclusive. Although the aperture is the same, if the focus is 20 cakes cannot keep up with this speed.
20mm1.7
Forever God Cake, many people directed at this head into the M43 door, once my favorite hanging head, the sharpness of this price is extremely conscience, coupled with a very small and portable, innocent God cake name. The disadvantage of this cargo is that the focus is a bit ugly, and it is slow, slow, slow and slow to focus. If you take this tour, pat the small landscape pat still life, then 20 cake is definitely a very cost-effective choice (1 generation enough to use the 2 generation no substantial increase is also expensive 30%). However, if you are going to shoot a child puppy or a dog on the street, the speed of focusing will make you go crazy - it is clear that the shutter is fast enough, it is obviously close to it, but it is empty! ! ! Unless you are manually focusing the aperture, the aperture is estimated by the depth of field, but this is not necessary on the M43 system. In fact, I especially liked 20 cakes, but it was really awful when I was sweeping the streets. Not every sudden person could pre-judge the amount of advancement, so I upgraded the 15mm f1.7.
Then put a little proof. Mainly reflects the sharper features of 20 cakes.

Matsuzaka 25mm 1.4
The headers in the Matsuzaka series are fixed in focus, and the image is very good. Shooting a virtual background is enough, but the feel is not plastic. The focus ring is dusty and loose, and there is no aperture ring. If you want a header to hang up, it is the best choice, but if you want to get a complete lens group, I think this head is not particularly necessary, after all, M43 Street is still the most comfortable 15mm 17mm. The difference between the 20-point long cake and it is not too great, not to mention the price of the first generation is only half of the goods. The time I played with this head was very short. Although the imaging was very good, it was a bit awkward to use. There was nothing like a film. This head is also very obvious. It may be possible to hone yourself afterwards, and you'll want to marry one when it's time for the header to get everything done.
42.5mm f1.7
If you do not plan to invest too much in the M43 system but want to play more fully, then this head is quite worthwhile to start with or even be required (Obba, of course, can be 45 1.8), after all, is the equivalent 85mm portrait. Like a good conscience, the weight of ultra-lightweight and compact, when the price is cheapest, less than 1700, with a little macro. You can sweep the street to capture and shoot flowers and grass. The purple side touched the lighthouse but was still a sucker.

When it comes to this product, you accidentally do it one by one with a full-width body. . . This is a sentimentality, unless M43 is loyal to Matsushita who does not recommend buying. Because it is expensive, heavy, and big. Your machine doesn't have to take it. The GX GH G series's large body can hold it. It is really good to say that it is good. It is a very good full-body portrait. The background is too low to be seen outside. And after you use it, you will ask, what is the purple edge of the child, how can I not see it? All-metal feel very cool. Put some proofs and try to reflect the effect of a wide range of light intensity and blurring of the whole body portrait.
Okay, you know, you don’t give up, you don’t give up. There’s a lot of this in this post, so let’s meet it.
Money tips
Don't pick up on this head of long grass...no harm without buying or selling. . . A 42.5mm f1.7 45mm f1.8 can also work, enough to use.
60mm 2.8
Although in principle Panasonic body with Panasonic head (Obba ​​no lens anti-shake), but I can only choose macro Oba home, 60 micro is the best overall performance of the M43 system without a macro head. Really professional, a certain degree of protection against rain, focus limit knob, plus 60mm focal length, shoot insects can not shoot first. And barely able to use it to pat portraits.
I used it to take photos that could make any photographer take a break. As follows, a bear child who came to attend the event, the parents guarded themselves, stole the door and ran to the studio to put the camera's sensor on the finger Alas, this is evidence. Think about if this fingerprint is in your love machine's CCD or CMOS, you hate hate or hate or hate, heartache is not painful but not painful. . .

Money tips
Although Aoba’s head is also very conscientious, there is a minor problem with Panasonic. That is, most of the hoods you have to buy (not yet bags). The 60-micro lens hood is compatible with Panasonic's lens, such as the 45mm-175 telephoto dog. Although it can't be pulled backwards like a 60-inch lens hood, it's not stressful. And when you search for prices, you'll find that instead of buying an Oba hood alone, it's better to add a few hundred more Panasonic 45mm-175mm, a hood with a lens.
Or you can buy a compatible hood, this is more conscience
In addition, there is an old man who seems to be 14-42 can be removed before the group into a wide-angle macro, hands-on ability friends can check a look, after all, that head is now second-hand cabbage prices.
75mm 1.8
The very big eyes of the small iron shovel, the top Oba head that can compete with Nocticron. The only drawback is that the focal length is a little lack of virtue, and the daily range is a bit narrow. In addition, under this focal length, Panasonic's lack of anti-shake was a disadvantage. Therefore, considering my most common scenario, I still chose Matsuzaka 42.5 1.2. If someone uses this to shoot at home, he must be oversized. . . This head only played, I didn't really shoot it so I couldn't shoot it on me. However, it is absolutely fascinating to search for its proofs. The light of Oba’s God is no exaggeration. If you are Oba's body, and there are some stage or portrait (preferably outdoor) shooting requirements, this may be a very good weapon.
45mm-175mm Â
The so-called telephoto is like toilet paper, you usually can not think of it, but it must be diarrhea. This is the head of the situation, it is a conscience puppy change, within the internal change is not how to enter the gray, small pockets, when the light is good or a war. When watching sports games and watching a presentation, you may be obstructed when you bring a gun. However, with this one can be even. Although the image is a bit flesh, but it is definitely enough to use a friend circle, when people’s friends are mobile phones When you take a wide-angle shot of an ant-like person, you brush a few wonderful shots and force your opponent up right. For example, the following few. Everyone can find that this head really shows: The trick is to solve the problem that can be photographed or cannot be shot, not to produce a large film. . .
In the end of the game, the Chinese team still lost. Sadly, after all, the sports game is still in the area of ​​Ghani's single-digit machine + artillery bobbin. We're just making a soy sauce brush.
I have a look at our friends who have any knowledge of the hahaha below.
The last little problem
Some friends may ask, what about the big three? This is a personal trade-off relationship, because I mainly shoot the macro photography street sweep, these areas with a fixed focus, then the price will be higher, the aperture of 2.8 still makes me a little insecure, use it to bring Limitations exceed convenience. Of course, if you are a journalist or need to take some activities to send a manuscript, then 12-35 + 35-100 is surely the most reliable traditional work group. In addition, Obama's 12-40 is actually a very good head, three defenses + a little macro, Oba Party is very good to this, and a tour of the world is a mirror of the world is recognized Panasonic 14-140 II (note Is the second generation).
Money Tips (Total)
When Ma Yun buys a lens or a kit, please don't buy a package with a filter . Generally the store will send those fake foreign devil filters. I don't name it here. Everyone understands what is known as German goods or Japanese goods. After the glare of various glare on the bright eyes, it might as well add some money to buy better. In addition, the filter may be more suitable for Amoy Haitao direct mail, some of the prices down and Taobao quite, mainly fidelity.
Then there is a bit of an egg. It may be that the front of the film doesn't feel very poisonous. Then I started to put the real poison.
Ah, I'm sorry to go wrong, it should be the bottom
Poison is not poisonous? Obviously not enough
Let's go a few
OK you may still say I'm not against you, I mean every ¥%... & , okay, okay
Still don't like it? Try this (the parties said they are not allowed to show their faces)
It's not going to work. I've got a headache. Had this cargo been better?
Add another
This will not work? I had to sacrifice this product
what? Still can not satisfy your desire? Come on, this is my last card. . .
By the way, the photos in the egg, D810 shoot, GX8 shoot, GM1 shoot, and cell phone camera finished plus filter. Looking at this scale, what do you think is the difference?
The so-called Friends of Gou value of life and death, are not due to step on top of aversion, and finally a little nonsense about the big truth offend everyone. The price/performance ratio of the camera, in my opinion, is not the most important thing in terms of image quality vs price, performance vs price, but how much value you can create with it , and professionals who rely on photography for a living can of course be direct Get money to calculate this problem. Amateurs can count on the amount of film. Even if it is a tens of thousands of pieces of more than tens of thousands of machines, you press it hundreds of thousands of shutter, a small 10,000 satisfied with the film, then this machine is definitely worth buying. In turn, even if it is a one or two thousand card, you do not shoot a few times to eat gray, then this machine is also a waste. In turn, bought tens of thousands of machines, thousands of shutters put there to eat ash or not to learn later, which is a waste of waste.
This reminds us of a potentially easily overlooked factor when buying a camera. It is how much you want to use it and how often you can use it. When cameras have exceeded the 10 million pixel threshold in these years, the basic enough image quality is no longer a bottleneck. The camera's use rate is directly related to the camera's portability and ease of use. This is why Dafa Black Card, Ricoh gr, LX100, and the Fujitsu ah m43 series of portable devices are one of the reasons why many people love it.
Another thing that must be considered is your own actual needs. Before you buy a machine, you should ask yourself a few questions. How many photos do I take in one year? Where do I usually use my photos? Circle of friends? Blog? Photography website? How many hairs on a 4K monitor? When was the last time I enlarged the photo wall? How big was the photo? What is my favorite subject? What is my most frequent shooting scene? Did I use the equipment in my hand to the extreme? Does the current equipment greatly limit my play as a bottleneck? Will I be late? Do I plan to study late or all straight out? When you see someone poisoning or Auntie Zhang pushing a special brain to decide on a hot hand, first go to the cold wash to think about these issues and make a final decision.
Of course, when you think twice about making your own choices, then it's good to insist that no one is qualified to make irresponsible remarks about your choices, especially those keyboard photographers. The so-called money to buy a good heart, not to force others to coax.
Finally, everyone is welcome to criticize and discuss the exchange. And, what related issues can also be raised in the comments, I will try my best to answer, our M43 party is often the same as the M43 machine is relatively low-key mediocrity muffled, but the service is good enough hahaha.
At the end of the call, I called for a moment. The Panasonic Party came to call for a blind man. The Utba Army also asked me to see you . Let us look at the world with M43.
