Adapted Lens Rig

My adapted-lens setup for the OM-System 50mm f1.8 lens: an Olympus PEN-F camera, a Vello OM-to-MFT adapter, and a small lens hood marketed for the Leica system. Because the OM 50mm was designed for a 35mm film camera, the actual focal length when used on a micro four thirds camera is 100mm. This lens is manual focus, and there is no electrical connection to the camera, thus no EXIF registration. However, the PEN-F has a provision for registration of third-party lens name and the effective focal length. But the camera setting must be selected by the photographer whenever such a lens is used. The lens produces very pleasing bokeh and is great for portraits and static-subject closeups. Raw development in DxO PhotoLab. Post processing in ON1 Photo RAW 2018.1 (texture: cracked paint).

Watch Close-up

Close-up of a watch among a display at Barton Creek Square, Austin, Texas. Shot with the extremely versatile Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO. The onboard IS makes it workable in low light situations despite its f4.0 maximum aperture. In addition, it focuses down to the outer range of macro as demonstrated in this closeup shot. If you have an Olympus camera capable of taking advantage of the lens IS, it’s an excellent choice to include in your camera bag when traveling.
