This is a detailed, technically-inclined review the
Olympus E-510 digital SLR. It is based on the first three weeks of my
using the camera and exploring its features.
This is a long article, as it contains
explanations of the concepts used, clarifications of the specs, and
quite a many, possibly opinionated, comments. Before reading it, you
may want to have a look at Class of 2007 (a brief intro to the E-510 and E-410); after — check my E-510 Quick Notes.
While the text is basically complete, I expect some additions and
corrections in the coming few months; this always happens. I am also
planning to add more illustrations soon.

Here are some tips for converting a Canon FD lens to Fourthirds. This
is a more complicated job than the Konica Hexanon conversion, that I
previously described. You should not attempt this project unless you
have some metalworking skills and suitable tools and materials to your
disposal.

I guess everybody heard about Takumar lenses quality and so many people use the common ones like 135mm Takumar lenses. They are sharp, quality built lenses. Imagine this quality in a faster, shorter focal length. This lens a perfect, portrait lens very well built, reasonable fast and sharp wide open.Quite rare lens show up two or three times per year on Ebay. In my opinion quality is good as than it's more expensive brother Takumar 85mm f1.8. I really enjoyed to work with this lens. Easy to handle , light weight, always a good performer. |

Very sharp, outstanding quality lens, one of the best zoom lens what ever made by any one. Colour rendering is very nice, a well built lens both mechanically and optically. Little long and more heavy than prime lenses. |

This is one of the legendary Russian lenses. Made on the base of Flektogon but tweaked by the Russians this lens and other Russian lenses issued in 1958 were awarded in Brussels Show with the prestigious "Grand Prix" award. On the other side Mir-1B has very controversial state among photographers. One awe it, others hate it. The lens by itself is very well build. All metal finish, quality paint and robust construction. Image quality is great. The lens produces very snappy colors with great contrast. Wide open its sharpness is acceptable on but 5.6 and onward Mir becomes tack sharp. Bokeh is a little harsh in the highlights but it is a least of concern. Chromatic aberrations are very low to none but the lens easy catches flares so hood usage is recommended. As Flektogon derivate there is no distortion. The lens is ideal for shooting architecture. Mir is a great performer as a macro lens with extension tubes. To keep front protruded lens element clear from scratches and dust it is best to use UV filter. Mir-1b is small almost pocket size. This lens is one small Russian jewel that has an irreplaceable place in my photo bag. (Written by Sqwall ) |
