You describe the 35-100 as having internal focusing, surely you mean internal zoom. It's my favourite too.

[@madsciencefilms]

Yes! Exactly that. 😂

[@BrentODell]

Unnecessary or not, I like coffee and I like montages, so... Also, unless I'm mistaken, both the 16mm and 56mm Sigma lenses ARE weather sealed, only the 30mm isn't.

[@madsciencefilms]

Thanks!! I believe you’re correct. Thanks for the correction.

[@chipmiddleton1439]

If I could only have one lens, it would be the Panasonic/Leica 15mm. Simply beautiful.

[@datalaforge]

Same! If they end up making a good g100 replacement I will buy it with the Leica 15mm.

[@BrentODell]

I'm thinking about picking one up, but it's not weather sealed, is it? I feel like last time I looked at it that was my hesitation.

[@Rush-Media]

Great rundown of m43 lenses, thanks for sharing. The 25mm 1.7 was one of my first lenses and it was so impressive for the price! My favourites for corporate work are the 10-25 and 25-50 1.7 leica's but that 35-100 has me intrigued (insane range!). For filmmaking I love to use the voigtlander primes, but they have their quirks.

[@madsciencefilms]

Thanks mate. Those lenses are seriously good and expensive haha! Yeah the 25mm is a solid lens and I need to show it more love tbh. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻

[@kwchalky02]

Can't believe you got rid of the 14-140, my most used lens. Interested to know why you got rid of that one rather than the 12-60. I had both but never used the 12-60 because the 14-140 was just as good and has that brilliant 10x zoom in a size and weight that was almost identical. (Maybe your 14-140 was the non weather sealed version?)

[@madsciencefilms]

Yep! I know it was a very versatile lens. I’m considering the weather sealed version of the lens going forward. Will see. Thanks for your comment.

[@jimsmith1930]

Its hard for me not to use the 14-140 covers just about everything

[@nolannatashaTV]

I also just picked up the 35-100 finally. Excited about it.

[@madsciencefilms]

It’s a fantastic lens!

[@Democratiser]

As you say at the outset, there are plenty of micro 4/3 lenses to choose from. I think you were one of the main influencers who led me to micro 4/3 in the first place. I’m totally happy with my lenses which now include none you mentioned 🤣! It demonstrates the diversity and versatility of the system. I currently have a G9 together with a 14-140mm as well as the PL 15mm f1.7 and 25mm F1.4, and a 10mm MF Pergear fixed F5.6. I recently bought the Olympus 75-300 mm vII. These are all amazing for travel. My favourite lens however remains my Canon 70-200mm f2.8L. The bokeh and colours are just divine. …However, late last week I spotted a bundle of six Olympus lenses up for auction which I impulsively bid for… and won at a cost of about £100 each lens all up. They are the 17mm, 45mm F1.8, 75mm F1.8, 12-40mm f2.8 and 40-150mm. So I guess I’m ’all in’ MFT now! I’m planning to sell a few though. They haven’t even arrived yet…

[@madsciencefilms]

So pleased we were able to influence you in the ‘right’ direction 😁😂. Great set of lenses and well done on the auction deal - what a bargain!!!

[@CameraCombo]

My favorite lens in terms of over-all package is the 17mm f/1.8. Small with features and nice output. I have two of them!

[@madsciencefilms]

Two!? Love it 😂.

[@DavidL5star]

I have just made the move to micro 4/3 with Olympus. I have a range of lenses up to the 150-400 f4.5 which is just awesome. After having Nikon full frame I can say I’m happy with the change.

[@CameraCombo]

@@madsciencefilms Yes 2, because I have one sitting on my GH2 for streaming and the other is for casual shooting. 🙂

[@tynova4672]

I pretty much just use old adapted Soviet lenses for M4/3, they give the look I like and the price is right. Industar, Jupiter and Helios are king for me.

[@madsciencefilms]

Love the Russian lenses. Good shout

[@willermax]

Oi Mate, the montage might have been unnecessary - like you said - but I still do appreciate the effort and nice colors in the montage-

[@madsciencefilms]

Thanks mate!

[@godzuks]

I would love to try the 35-100 for video, will have to save up..its a bit on the expensive side

[@madsciencefilms]

It is, but well worth it.

[@LeBironzilla]

agree or not agree with you, that not important. Yours opinion are valid. I love using old 43 on micro fourthing, and I fount them really usefull and offering something that the m43 do not have in is line up. I think that the standard zoom lens were better made event if they focus les quick on the fourthids body. It more than workable on the good olympus body. So i will take the old 12 to 60 or the 14-54 Mkii over a news solution. I have the 14-35 F2 and this lens is increadible. I will consider the 12-45mm F4 for the new m43 option, but there no bad option for standard zoom lens in the m43 and the 43 format, that just crazy. I was suprise with the sigma, but that a really good option for the price. I never bought the 45mm or the 55 because I have the old 50mm zuiko ED . And Franckly I looking for one of those lens OR the (42,5)45mm 1.4 or 1.2. But I do have the 75mm 1.8 and I think that lens is a good replacement for the 35-100mm F2.8. It this lens is too short inmy opninion

[@Horschti135]

Great video! For future montages you should make sure the audio is balanced. Right now the intro and music were way too loud compared to your voice during the rest of the video.

[@madsciencefilms]

Thanks for your input!

[@ulfjonsson2122]

Very good video and thoughts. I would never sell my 20/1,7 or the Jupiter 3 from 1951.

[@madsciencefilms]

Thanks!! And thanks for your comment.
