OM-D EM5 m43 + Legacy Olympus OM 50mm f/1.8 - lens adaptor movie - handheld - FTB Extra
July 21, 2015 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:01:25 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
This is a small sample of what an Olympus OM Zuiko legacy lens can look like on a micro four thirds (m43) camera, specifically the OM-D EM5 Mk 1 with a standard prime (not macro). All shots are handheld and manually focused via the EVF (no focus peaking). I’m not sure how old the lens is, around 20 years perhaps. Most of this is shot at ISO 200 though I moved it up for some of the darker shots, which is why you can see pixelation here and there.
I’ve been playing with a couple of legacy lenses, including the Canon 24mm FD, which is a treat. However the Olympus legacy lenses are smaller and easier to handle. I’m going to attempt to declick them next, though I’m having trouble taking the front ring off.
This is the first in a series that falls outside of our usual travel/adventure video blog. It’s random stuff that we publish whenever we feel like it, in addition to our weekly episodes, published every Sunday. Please subscribe to our channel for updates and adventure and find out a bit more about our curious lifestyle as we sail around the world with our cat, and catch all the links below. We’d love to hear from you!

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
