To minimize depth of field, use an aperture two stops wider than you would use on a full frame lens with the same field of view at the same distance.

Example: An f1.2 43.5mm Micro 4/3 lens set at f/1.4 has about the same DOF as an 85mm f/1.8 full frame lens set at f/2.8 — when both are used at the same distance from the subject.

Good Info..thanks.

I sold my 3 full frame Nikons almost 2 years ago, and noticed right away that Fstops were surely different in MFT

I have the Lumix GX 85 micro four thirds camera and with the Kit lens (12-32 mm ) and the Lumix 45-150 mm it costed USD 600 or so...I added the Lumix 100-300 mm (F 4-F 5.6) (International Version ) and the Olympus Pro 12-40mm F 2.8 (International Version) for around USD 650 each...The Pictures come out pretty sharp and I find it quite easy to carry the camera (with the lenses) anywhere and everywhere without being bothered by the size and weight ...Sharing a few snaps of Birds captured with the Lumix 100-300 mm....Looks like the micro four thirds system is worth a serious consideration.

I have owned, and used exclusively, an Olympus OM-D E-M ii for the past year. It replaced a Nikon D7100 and a full complement of lenses. I had been loyal to Nikon for years, and found its wares to be excellent, but I tired of lugging about all the weight and bulk. Prior to acquiring the Olympus, I purchased a Panasonic GX8. Good quality overall (electronic viewfinder is fabulous), but, contrary to expectation, I didn’t like the rangefinder style, the battery is small, and only one memory-card slot. I have nothing but good things to say about the Olympus. Optics are great. Granted, it is on the larger size physically among the mirrorless 4/3s, but still smaller than any DSLR, and all of the lenses are smaller. The capabilities of the camera are jaw-dropping. It is so laden with features that release of the (must-have) third-party how/to guide (Darrell Young, Rocky Nook publishing, $45) was months late. At 612 pages, it can easily double as a doorstop. I realize that Nikon has (finally)introduced its own line of mirrorless cameras, and that they are winning much praise. However, because they are full-sensor, they are not physically much smaller than the DSLR line, they are heavier and bulkier than the Olympus, and much pricier. The Olympus model in question retails for $2,000, body only. An added benefit of ANY Olympus is that it accepts Panasonic lenses, so the selection is enormous. I do not think you or anyone else will regret purchasing the Olympus.

Also keep this site in mind...refurbished Olympus gear...they refresh the site every couple of weeks.

I don't think you will be disappointed in getting an Olympus EM1Mkii. Size and weight are only two of the numerous advantages, especially if you want to hike with your camera. Do get a good manual to get acquainted with its system.

This is an outstanding camera. You can find many online reviews, the vast majority of which are overwhelmingly positive. You can also check several Facebook sites where users post pictures, offer comments, etc. All to take with a grain of salt (just as anything else on Fb) but they have their use.

If you are not familiar with Olympus cameras it will likely take a while to learn the language and optimize your new toy to best serve your needs. Once you get over the hump, you'll find it to be extremely EFFECTIVE (I don't think camera systems show much AFFECTION). Not to mention the great Olympus lenses that you can use with the camera, although you are, of course, not limited to this brand.

4/3 systems present many advantages and few significant drawbacks over DSLR - a topic that has been discussed extensively on this forum.

I have the Mk2 and have been very happy with it. I have included a pic taken handheld at 1/8 sec at f 1.8 (iso 320) with a 45mm Olympus f1.8 lens.
Hope this helps to answer your question...
