The Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 Micro Four Thirds Lens Review
The Pana Leica 15mm is the lens I'd start with. It's the lens I'm going to finish with. And it's the lens with the most mileage along the way.

The Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO Micro Four Thirds Lens
This is another win for Olympus. But it might be a win for your pocketbook if you don’t know how to — or don’t want to — shoot ultra wide angle photographs.

The Olympus M. Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 Micro Four Thirds Lens Review
For many photographers, having an excellent 35mm-equivalent lens in their arsenal is a must. After more than four years of development and despite its impressive range of available lenses, a truly outstanding 35mm-equivalent lens continues to elude the Micro Four Thirds system. This small, jewel-like lens from Olympus remains the only realistic choice for most people.

Panasonic Lumix LX100 Micro Four Thirds Camera
Not to be outdone by the Fujifilm X100T, Panasonic have announced their own micro four thirds camera: the Lumix LX100. It looks to be a sort of poor man’s Leica, which I mean in the best possible way. Equipped with a 12.8MP sensor and a super-fast 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 Leica DC zoom lens, this is an impressive portraiture rig right out of the…
Olympus PEN E-PL7 Micro Four Thirds Camera
The upcoming Olympus E-PL7 is a selfie-friendly micro four thirds camera, with its 180° flip screen, touchscreen shutter release, and 3-axis in-body image stabilization. Of course, it also has other awesome stuff you’d expect from a modern Olympus shooter: 16-megapixel sensor Wi-Fi (e.g. you can send photos to your iPhone for editing in VSCO Cam) TruPic 7 image processor Manual control dial…
Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 Micro Four Thirds Lens
Okay, owners of Olympus mirrorless cameras. You’ve got the 25mm f/1.8 lens. Maybe you’ve got the 40-150mm f/4-5.6 too. Now you’re ready for another addition to the lineup, maybe something for portrait work. How about the 75mm f/1.8 lens? This lens — equivalent to a 150mm focal length when used with a micro four thirds sensor — sports an all-metal construction with…
Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 Micro Four Thirds Zoom Lens
One of the best reasons to pick up a micro 4/3 camera like the Olympus E-M10 is portability. Olympus’ 25mm f/1.8 lens complements this idea nicely, but maybe you need something with a little more versatility. We recommend the Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R zoom. This entry-level zoom lens gives you the extra oomph you need to capture subjects somewhat far away…
Olympus 25mm f/1.8 Micro Four Thirds Lens
If you’ve been shooting photos with the Micro 4/3 system for any amount of time, there’s a good chance you’ve already known about (or even owned) the Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 lens. After all, it is by far the most recommended one for M4/3 photographers. But now there’s a new competitor in town: the Olympus 25mm f/1.8 lens. It’s smaller, it focuses faster,…
The Olympus E-PL5: Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless Camera
In this nerd’s humble opinion, the Olympus E-PL5 is the best pocket-sized Micro 4/3 camera you can buy. There are a plethora of mirrorless cameras out there, but if you’re looking for one that is small, relatively inexpensive, works with interchangeable lenses, and takes jaw-dropping images, then look no further. The year-old OM-D EM-5 is considered by many to be the best…
Micro 4/3 Lomography Experimental Lens Kit
Shooting with a Micro 4/3 camera is already a lot of fun, but now it can be even more so by equipping your rig with a lens from the Lomography Experimental Lens Kit. For $89, you get three lenses that will fit any Micro 4/3 camera: a standard 24mm lens, a wide angle 12mm lens, and a fisheye lens. Each lens allows…
Panasonic Lumix GX1, Micro 4/3 Camera
Oh snap. If you’ve been thinking of moving past the “my iPhone is my only camera” stage, then today might be your day. Back in 2008, Panasonic was one of the first companies to introduce Micro Four Thirds cameras. Basically, a Micro 4/3 system — also known as a Mirrorless camera — is a world-class amalgamation between a DSLR and a pocket-sized…

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II Review
The inherent limitations of the small Micro Four Thirds sensor has allowed Panasonic and Olympus to get away from the specification game ahead of everyone else. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is the epitome of this head start.
