Olympus Zuiko Digital 150mm F/2 for Portraits feat. Guam Model Ericca Tomada

[@richganzel9248]

I get similar results with the 35-100 f2 and can work closer to the subject. Those 4/3 f2 lenses are incredible!

[@GuamPhotography]

Thanks for your comment!!

[@jangarcia1338]

THat combo was amazing! Skin tones are very nice.

[@GuamPhotography]

Yes I notice that too

[@noahwood8411]

Nice work... pictures look great... you seem to be enjoying using micro four thirds...

[@GuamPhotography]

Yes I am, thanks Noah!!

[@spanksen]

Because of your Video i was looking a long time for this Lens, it is hard to get and very expensive. But now i have a copy and i really love the look of the Pictures taken with the EM1MK3 - thank you so much for that!!!!

[@GuamPhotography]

You are very welcome!! yes it is hard to get, but man, pics with this lens, makes the pictures taken look like it was on full frame haha.

[@spanksen]

@@GuamPhotography I also have full frame, but it is more than that, a special look

[@KarinaGlamorous]

So many cameras it's gonna drive me crazy!! I also want a mirrorless but I think I will wait to see what 2019 brings us 😍

[@GuamPhotography]

Same, new SONY a7s III, also new Olympus M43 :D

[@KarinaGlamorous]

@@GuamPhotography Exactly 😍 Sony a7sIII should be amaaaaaaazebaaaalllzzz!!!! I can't wait!!

[@lighthunter1980]

Beautiful light, lens and model!

[@GuamPhotography]

Thank You! :)

[@terrywbreedlove]

That lens look amazing I use the 75mm for all my portraits but that 150 rocks.

[@GuamPhotography]

Yeah, sold it already, but glad I tried it out :)

[@andytee88]

My fav portrait lens is the Olympus 75mm 1.8, it has good enough compression imo. I can't use any lens that weigh over 300g, regardless of its image quality, it would defeat the purpose of me switching over to M43 for compactness

[@GuamPhotography]

Yes thats very true, thats the next lens I'm gonna get :)

[@BaitcasterProShop]

Why shoot iso 400?

[@GuamPhotography]

I explained towards the end of the video, that I thought the camera was on auto ISO :( it was actually set to ISO 400 :(

[@pavaz21]

between this lens and the 75mm f1.8, what would you a nice blurry background?

[@GuamPhotography]

I would do the 75mm 1.8 you dont have to stand back as far. the 150mm f/2 would result in a blurrier background.

[@allencrider]

I wonder why they stopped making this lens for micro 4/3? It's essential for sports photojournalism.

[@GuamPhotography]

Yeah its a really well built lens, can take a beating.

[@RimantasLiubertas]

Because there are 300/f4 pro and 40-150/2.8 pro.

[@dayeah765caoni3]

So you can buy cheap on eBay

[@MadEnglishTV]

Wow! 😃😃Great review! But I was too distracted by the model. 😉

[@GuamPhotography]

Hahahhaa :)

[@AbdonPhirathon]

You're a master at this! And that Olympus lens is nothing to sneeze at either.

[@GuamPhotography]

Thank You!!

[@chinitopinoy1726]

I see you also have Panasonic G9. Can you do a quick video showing how the Olympus 150 f2 focuses on the Panasonic G9?

[@GuamPhotography]

Sorry, I dont have this lens anymore, but I did try it out on the G9, and it was really terrible. The E-M1M2 has phase detect as well (thats why its better), and the G9 is only contrast based focus, so the focusing with the Olympus 150 f/2 was very bad, it kept going back and forth trying to lock on, also slow :(

[@chinitopinoy1726]

@@GuamPhotography did it eventually lock on though?

[@GuamPhotography]

@@chinitopinoy1726 yes it did, it was just very slow, and it kept going back and forth, repeatedly just to catch focus. Thats why I had to sell it :( but did a review on it with the E-M1M2 first.

[@chinitopinoy1726]

Also, in seconds, how long was wait time on G9 before it locked on?

[@GuamPhotography]

@@chinitopinoy1726 it was long mabye around 4 - 6 seconds.

[@cocoly6702]

M.Zuiko + Tomada==> je vous aime!

[@bleuswiffer]

I miss the sparkle in the images James..why no added light like a monolight for example?

[@GuamPhotography]

I'm a natural light shooter, dont really use strobes sorry!

[@ngfook4478]

Nice images, nice lens 👍

[@GuamPhotography]

yes super nice lens!

[@fotomats8651]

Hi, whats with your G9 now?

[@GuamPhotography]

It was used to film this :) focus was on autofocus the whole time with face detection, borrowing my friends E-M1 MarkII

[@jackmckechnie5801]

I shoot most portraits on my EM1 with a Zhongyi focal reducer adapter with a film lenses like the auto Sears 55mm 1.4....(a little thorium for balance in that lens ) You can get all the bubble bokeh you want.

[@GuamPhotography]

Hahaha cool!!

[@jinjiang3875]

does the new 40-150pro/2.8 can match this

[@GuamPhotography]

I think it can come close, but not match it exactly as in bokeh.

[@sstansm7f]

Please, write what adapter you use.

[@GuamPhotography]

Panasonic DMW-MA1 43 to M43 Adapter

[@bert671]

great video. nice and informative. and you pronounced, Bokeh correctly and not boka. boka-kichi-maigu? .

[@GuamPhotography]

Thanks buddy, yeah its Bow (like bow and arrow) - Keh (like in kettle).

[@garybrown9719]

I had the 35-100mm regret selling it

[@GuamPhotography]

Yes, it really made the M43 system look like full frame!

[@RagingBubuli]

150mm in MFT is too long!

[@GuamPhotography]

Yes like a 300mm F/4 lens, haha!
