Leica 45mm is the latest arrival, picking up later today!
Nice, here's me trying to find a bargain on the 45-150 kit lens [might have found one locally btw]
That’s the panny one isn’t it? Nice compact little one! I do like the Leica 25mm - prefer the 1.4! Still not convinced to sell the M50! I’m convinced the M50 shows far more res when I zoom in a bit (doesn’t get pixelated) [emoji85]
If your images are getting pixelated, you're zooming in far too much! Are you talking on cam or when processing? If you have your camera set to RAW only the preview is not full res, set it to JPEG fine + Raw, then you get the full res Jeg when pixel peeping on the LCD.
But doesn't seem like I am! This is just on my iPad, had them process din camera and zoom in and they don't look too good! This is in camera RAW processing! I think its just me being picky!

Seriously thinking of moving to MFT only now, I would not of sold the G7 if I could of got a grip as Cagey75 suggested, (thanks, its a real pity they do not make one for the G7). So now I am looking at the G80 with 12-60 and an aftermarket grip.
So any comments on the G80? Whats the Panasonic 12-60 like? and anyone using an aftermarket grip? Any opinions, anyone?
I use the 12-60mm kit lens and it's great for the money. I've no complaints.Seriously thinking of moving to MFT only now, I would not of sold the G7 if I could of got a grip as Cagey75 suggested, (thanks, its a real pity they do not make one for the G7).

Thank you all for your excellent advice, I think the G80 will suit me well with the option to go for a grip if I feel I need one. Cannot yet decide whether to go for the 12-40 2.8 or the 12-60 from Panasonic. I think funds will be the deciding factor as it will all be quite an investment(for me) since I intend to get the Pano 100mm-400mm at the same time.
I have just realised - as much as I like this 45mm Leica I picked up... I already have this covered in the Leica 12-35mm 2.8 and the same aperture! So I reckon its going to be up for sale here again shortly! XD
Hi guys. I normally shoot my M4/3 bird images on my OMD-EM1.2 , but yesterday I decided to give the G9 a go. Whilst I must admit I preferred the "bulk" of the G9 and grip with the Olympus 300mm F4 mounted as compared to the smaller EM1.2, I found the AF-C much more "nervous". I know that due to the DFD technology used my Panasonic, you get that shimmering effect as the camera fines tunes the focus in the viewfinder, but using very similar settings to my EM1.2 (i.e similar ISO's, shutter speeds etc), I was finding a greater number of OOF images (but just slightly OOF i.e. just a little soft - not tack sharp) on the G9 compared to the Olympus.
I tried all the AF set up presets (from 1 though to 4) and none of them seemed to be much better than the next. Now I'm not talking BIF, but birds flitting on and off a feeder or climbing a tree or branch - hardy a tough test for a "pro" level camera I'd have thought ? Is this just due to me using an Olympus lens and therefore not actually getting the full DFD effect ?
So out of interest, what settings do you guys use for moving birds (but not necessarily BIF) please ?
you learn something new every day , just switched to that Keith sounds a good alternative for flitty birds on feeders , will update once usedYou could try switching the AF-S mode to AFF, which micro-adjusts for smaller movements with the shutter button half pressed, some find it more useful than AFC for macro for example. Set one of the Fn buttons to switch to it on the fly and see if it improves anything. I don't have a G9 but I'm sure it's on there same as the G80
"“AFF” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Flexible”.
In this mode, focusing is performed automatically
when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
If the subject moves while the shutter button is
pressed halfway, the focus is corrected to match the
movement automatically."
