First impressions of Olympus Pen F camera that arrived yesterday. Beautiful. A bit lighter than the comparable Fuji offerings but the Fujis feel like blocks of carved steel and I would have no qualms with knocking a nail into a 4X2 with a Fuji. The Pen F feels ever so slightly less robust, but not by much.
Love the articulating rear screen including ability to close it facing inward. Perfect. So may knobs and buttons! Hell I won't use half of them. Viewfinder (EVF) is okay - would love a proper rangefinder with OVF - if only the X100 was an interchangeable lens camera. But like DSLRs - what you see is what you get. Menus take a few minutes to get used to, no problem. 5 axis image stabilisation device claims 5 stops of compensation. Haven't tried it yet. Only just figured out the menus. Ordered 2 adapters - both from Kiwi. The PK unit came today and although the K24/2.8 juts out a bit, loved trying it out first. Angle of view similar to a 48mm lens. And so to keep this post on topic, here's a sexed-up Pentax lens..... <http://www.seeingeye.tv/pages/pen.html> Now to drag some test shots onto the Mac.... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
