My equipment:
Olympus E-PL2
Olympus E-M5 OM-D; M.Zuiko 1.8 / 45; M.Zuiko 3.5-6.3 / 12-50; Zuiko 2.8-3.5 / 14-54II; M.Zuiko 4.0-5.6 / 40-150 R; M.Zuiko 1.8 / 75
Expected small picture: ... M.Zuiko 1.8 / 90; M.Zuiko 3.5-6.3 / 24-100; Zuiko 2.8-3.5 / 28-108; M.Zuiko 4.0-5.6 / 80-300 R; M.Zuiko 1.8 / 150
If you look at this is a very good lens equipment for all conditions, the small image data.
So that everyone has from 24mm wide angle to 300mm telephoto, and it can be compiled every possible combination of lenses for all shooting situations.
Both M.Zuiko ZOOM lenses do a very good job, the "Fußzoom" lenses even better and somehow I'm going to change lenses again.
With MFt I discovered the fixed focal lengths for me again and added my feet in motion.
The fixed focal length lenses are pretty small, light and extremely sharp because making pictures fun and you can always take all.
All 4 M.Ft lenses that I use currently weigh ca.800gr. and can be stored in the smallest camera bag.
After I've gone through almost all DSLR camera systems in recent years, (almost) all were good to very good cameras, I am for the M.Ft system Olymus decided and am returned to this.
I am firmly convinced that in not so distant future, this type of camera system camera, the future belongs.
In Japan for more than 50% of this camera type are sold against DSLR, and rising.
We are still, as always with new, very cautious and swear falling on the old and traditional, trend.
Have now found my cameras that make me happy.
The Olympus E-M5 OM-D the best at the time-to-get camera system M.Ft Olympus and with more advantages over APS-C as disadvantages.
Use the VF-3 and on the E-M5 as Angle Finder, works perfectly.
The Olympus PEN E-PL2 for me one of the best PEN cameras, which you also can touch thanks to the gripping bead, the PEN E-PL3 is as a joke.
The viewfinder does what he should do, he helps tremendously in picture composition.
At the E-M5 as an angle finder on the system port available.
The design fits, in my personal opinion, better for E-PL2 as the VF-2, but is as always purely subjective.
But that's not the important thing.
920,000 pixels are repeatedly criticized, of course it is less like the VF-2 but still a good value.
The picture is clear, good color reproduction, very suitable for art work, no more and no less.
I rely on as the camera parameters set by me and the sets Olympus to excellent, so that you can rely on.
Olympus recommends this viewfinder for photography of distant objects and I use the viewfinder priority for landscape photography.
For this he is eminently suitable. How he behaves when filming I can not judge, I use the camera only to Fotogafieren.
Even with portraits of the viewfinder is very easy to use, as well as architecture.
Fast-moving objects, sports photography, here cuts the VF-3 worse, because you have ghosting, here the VF-2 is better, but that also does not recommend yes Olympus.
In very bright light, the viewfinder image darkened, but this happens when VF-2 well.
The difference is negligible. Is also criticized the excessive brightness or darkening of the viewfinder.
But what prevents the camera menu to change a viewfinder brightness and color reproduction, then it works even in sunlight or dusk.
The fine-tuning going on here very far up or down regulate and already, the colors match the original image.
Color temperature and brightness respectively 7 points or + 7 points - to adjust.
It is a photographed image, for example, house roof with red tiles, go to the camera menu (setting viewfinder) and shall vote and the right in the viewfinder, the color of the original image.
Works perfectly while you can still the brightness you want to have set.
The most important thing for me was the arresting because me the VF-2 is at my former E-PL1 constantly slipped and I wanted to carry out any "glue experiments".
It can be shown all important indicators, are important to me that the grid lines and the crosshairs to picture composition.
To be avoided by reason of the small picture, in spite of 100% image section, the display but not overload, less is sometimes more.
Because now the price has settled below the VF-2 and one is perfect for me, the VF-3, the lock gets additionally.
It depends on the areas of application and I am pleased that Olympus here two viewfinder to compose has.
Conclusion:
If the VF-3 is photographed landscape photography, portrait, architecture is the first choice and can be locked.
If you want to photograph and film fast-moving objects should pick up the VF-2.
