Micro 4/3 Gallery

Olympus E-M1, Panasonic 35-100mm f/2.8 lens @ 89mm; 1/5000th sec. @ f/2.8; ISO 400 (click to enlarge)

For the past 36 months now, I have predominantly used M4/3 cameras and lenses for the majority of my photographic explorations.  I have made almost 15,000 images with M4/3 gear. 

Many people still criticize the format as not serious, too small, unable to produce professional level results, etc.  In response, I thought I would take a selection of my M4/3 images, from both the Olympus E-M5 and E-M1 and create a gallery on my website containing only those format images.  This gallery has a wide variety of images made in a wide variety of circumstances.  

You can view my Micro 4/3 gallery here.  While you are there, take a look at my other images.  You may find some you enjoy viewing.

To be fair, there are some things that M4/3 doesn't do as well as full frame or other larger formats.  For example, produce images with a very shallow depth of field (some of that is being overcome with some very fast M4/3 lenses), sports photography, quick follow-focus, very high ISO imagery, etc.  

However, there are things that M4/3 does better than full frame.  Smaller, lighter, less expensive, etc.  My point is everything is a trade-off.  You have to decide which types of photography you practice, then buy gear that can support those types of photography.

One thing, in my opinion, that M4/3 does as well as full frame, is that in 99% of most everyone's photographic endeavors, it gives you image quality with which you can be very pleased.

Thanks for looking.  Enjoy!
