 Philip Turner's recommendation | |
First impressions - excellent build, feel, materials. It is superb when in use, and the results are outstanding.
Full manual on CD (not printed).
No focus scale on lenses - drive by wire.
Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
My Olympus E500 digital camera gave me near perfect results in good and bad light, and with a FL36 flash under flash conditions.
It feels built to last, has a well balanced feel, and it has straight forward menus. Great lens definition on both standard (14-45mm) and 40-150mm lenses. No aberrations noted either chromatic or distortion at wide angle - there may be some if examined in an optical lab, but I don't notice it in critical results.
A class act.
