Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 23, 2016 Super Members Share Posted April 23, 2016 I recently got an Olympus Pen-F. The debate was between the Pen or a Fuji (x100t, xt1, x-pro1/2 etc). Ive always loved Fujifilm, even the small sensored X20 is an absolute joy to take stills with (to bad I needed wifi). The stuff I wanted was, Larger than 1" sensor Range Finder styled Awesome in camera colors Wifi The reason I got the Pen-F instead is because its almost as good a range finder as the Fujis. Plus it has incredible IBIS for video. And I already have lenses and adapters for m4/3. Both of them have problems in video regarding aliasing, but for the BTS and home videos I will use it for its fine. If the X-t2 do in fact get 4K, so I can get aliasing free video, then I will upgrade. Maybe I will keep both the Pen and the Fuji... who knows, have a few months to deside. Any who here is the very first video test I did. All shot handheld, in auto, no color correction or grading of any kind. Like I said, Im not gonna use this camera for any serious video, grading, etc. Its my stills camera. And for that I love it. Its got great handling, lovely sound (yes thats important) and the baked Monochrome 2 is so sweet I don't have to use raw. Some say the Monochrome 2 looks a lot like Kodak Tri-X. To my eyes its at least not far off. Here is a pic with actual Tri-X and an Olympus Trip 35. And here is a Monochrome 2 from the Pen-F sgreszcz, Flynn and Hitfabryk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still might get it. Or a X70 with external OVF.... Fuji drives me nuts, every single one of their models are so sweet and affordable. Have you seen the used prices here in Sweden on the X-T1 or the lower en Rage Finders (dont know their model names, they all sound the same).

Nikkor Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 It's funny because I've been looking for a fuji too for a week or so. Unless you want video, any model is fine, I guess. The lenses are great, but expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the used market they are very affordable. 5 hours ago, The Chris said: Wifi card? Seems to drain the battery without a workaround. Atleast on the x100.

Haha, how much for the fuji 23 1.4?? Pff I really want that lens and the 35 1.4 because they have rangefinder couplings (is this correct? xD) for the x-pro. I don't want a mirror, but neither do I want to stare into a screen (I have enough computer time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 24, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 24, 2016 Here is a quick test with some rough grading. I just wanted to see how it reacted to being pushed and didnt fine tune, in other words, excpect ugly grades. I say it holds decently. This was also shot in auto mode. The Stills however does not need any grading at all imo. Liam, sgreszcz and Hitfabryk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I want both now 4 hours ago, Flynn said: I love how Gunpowder spotted that other French bulldog and was having none of it. LOL! So cute. Is she aggressive or protective of you around other dogs? Only until she gets to say hello. Its usually when dogs are kept apart that they get stressed.

Looks good Mattias, I'm going to follow this with interest as I use the Olympus cameras as I love the colours, the IBIS, and especially for stills with the small m4/3 primes. Both of your videos looked great. I'm still experimenting with the various profiles to get ones that I like that look good without having to mess with grading. In full auto mode (well, semi as I often use S priority), I find that the auto white balance quite good. What lenses have you been using with the Pen (I see the Olympus 17.5/1.8 mounted)?

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 26, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 So far just the 17mm and a few Stills with the 35mm f0.95. Have loads of lenses so not sure why I havent even tester them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 New m43 rumor about the EM1 mkii having 4k and while it will not have global shutter, Olympus worked very hard to reduce rolling shutter. Maybe a sign that Olympus is gonna get serious about video with this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodlum Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Olympus is also coming out this fall with a 12-100mm at a constant F4. Maybe this lens will be directed towards the video community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
