Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They flee by like nocturnal shadows.
No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them,
with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!

Why I won't buy the Olympus E-P3 PEN this year

Posted by polarapfel on Wed, 17 Aug 2011 09:59

It’s no secret that I’m an Olympus fanboy. We have about six digital Olympus cameras at home, four of those are Four Thirds DSLRs, one is a PEN and one a tough compact. Along with that, we have a complete Olympus Four Thirds lens lineup with beauties such as the 12-60mm, the 50mm and the 50-200mm and more lenses from Sigma and Panasonic. Most of the images I shoot are now from my E-5. I have been enjoying my E-PL1 as well though. Initially, I got the PEN to make use of my large collection of legacy Minolta MC and MD lenses. Using a Novoflex adapter, it’s really easy to use these old lens beauties with the PEN. I got the VF-2 EVF so I could manual-focus easier and get a steadier hold on the camera with the heavy lenses attached. I am happy about the in-body image stabilization of the PEN. I valued the image stabilization for legacy lenses more than I did value the need for a fast auto-focus. That’s why I got a PEN and not a Micro Four Thirds camera from Panasonic.
