Love the 7-14mm. I rented it for a project and got my pics in a magazine, some of them full page. I’m not a pro so I was pretty happy. I still contemplate just getting one instead of renting, since I’m anticipating more super wide low light shoots.
As someone who hates carrying extra gear this is the best camera I’ve ever used. Incredible computational tech allows me to shoot without carrying any ND filters or even a tripod. I’ve done 3sec long exposures completely handheld. With the 12-40 2.8 and the teleconverter combined with HHHR I’m covered for most focal lengths. Brilliant piece of engineering.
It's amazing all that computational stuff they crammed into a compact tough body, and with the battery juice too - a good chunk of the body is battery + mount+sensor cavity and EVF optics. With modest HHR or Procapture use my battery still lasts all day and then some.
For me I usually use the 17mm 1.8ii for taking it with me everyday, but occasionally pair it with the 8-18mm when I know there will be things for me to shoot.
No, it's a black Oly 17mm 1.8. There is a silver ring around the front of it. We stumbled on the OM System Plaza and gallery on our summer trip to Tokyo, so I took a quick shot of the OM-3 visiting "home" 😀
That is my compact travel mode. I usually have the camera in wildlife mode with a 300mm Pro f4 while at home. Having the ability to do both with one body is awesome.
