I've read a lot of reviews on this lens. Without exception, the "Olympus visionaries" sing the praises of this lens. It must be perfect. Everybody else, however, complains of terrible chromatic aberration in high contrast areas, bad enough that software won't remove it. Any comments on the purple fringing? Since you're primarily an outdoor photographer, you must have run into high contrast situations. I also note that you mention using this lens with focus bracketing. It's a shame that it doesn't work with focus stacking, since it is designated a "pro" lens. It has been on the market now for a couple of years, so I don't expect a firmware update to address this. It must be an issue with the focus motor. Any thoughts on this?

I've got two of those. An old lens, a very early mft. It will not AFC/AFF on a Lumix. It has very accurate and fine focus but slow. Which makes it stills only with no fancy functions. Very handy pancake though with great glass; if we delve deep into the exif we find it is an unbadged Leica.

Good and interesting video with lots of outstanding images of my favourite landscape and hiking area. You were lucky with the weather too! The Om5 might be the perfect hiking camera for me, i skipped the line after the initial E-M5 because i usually require mire FPI for my images and also regularly use features like LiveND, StarrySky and HHHR with my E-M1 III and OM I. But i am not getting younger, every kilo counts when hiking and the OM5 offers all the landscape features i might need. How well does the IS work compard to the Om1? Regards from Munich - Sabine

If you are excited, I have to ask if you have already tried the OM-5 Mk 3? For example the 'starry sky' is merely a firmware update that could have already been provided in the MK3, much like the ND option. OM Systems are doing a lot of shooting themselves in their legs.
@kjl6138

Agreed. Unfortunately, this is a lame upgrade and an embarrassment for OM compared to the OM-1. They better step up their game.
@RobShootPhotos

I've heard the firmware update thought. The E-M5 Mark III has a TruePic VIII processor and the OM-5 has the TruePic IX processor. It's a hardware upgrade with updated firmware. The newer processor gives the ability for the updated firmware to work properly. So no, this isn't just a firmware update.
