Olympus Pen F Review


The 2 following shots are at same location, but using different color filters (might have been red and yellow)

Olympus 7-14mm Pro. ISO250. 1/60sec. Monochrome, preset 2, medium grain (iirc)


Olympus 7-14mm Pro. ISO250. 1/60sec. Monochrome, preset 2, medium grain (iirc), shading (vignetting was used here)


Olympus 75mm/1.8. ISO200. 1/125sec. Monochrome preset 2


Olympus 75mm/1.8. Monochrome preset 2


Olympus 17mm/1.8. Monochrome preset 2. Medium grain (iirc)
 

With oly 25mm F1.8, F3.5, ISO200, 1/160s


With Oly 25mm F1.8, F4, ISO200, 1/250s


This was shot using monochrome Preset which simulates infra red monochrome. Oly 17mm F1.8, F3.5, no grain


Olympus 75/1.8 monochrome, preset 2, orange filter, medium grain
 

Gotten the Preproduction sample unit back for a spin, had passed to keithwee to have a go as well, here's some taken in the past week

Car free day, 1/250s, 7mm, monochrome, mode 2, red filter, , low grain (the contrasty tones is useful with this filter), to be able to change the filters on the fly and see it out of the LCD/EVF makes it a breeze. Slightly processing done on the jpeg with LR, shadows and highlights

A couple of long exposures

Pansonic 7-14mm, High resolution mode, jpeg, 6 stops Haida ND, Circular polarizer. I stretch the timing to 8sec (setting limit and F8) so as to achieve a smooth water and cloud movement. During the process of the high res shot, I could see each frame after every 8 sec, and the final output gives a very smooth cloud motion, like a single 64sec shot. Gotta love this mode, I only wish they can have a much slower setting limit as sometimes it's good to stretch the exposure longer. The good thing is also the long exposure noise reduction is done on 1 frame, hence 8sec, rather than the based on the total time taken.




Olympus 7-14mm lens. Another high res shot (2 shots panorama), F8, stitched with PTGui. I can imagine super hi resolution panoramas with this mode.
