@greghiggins It was taken with an Olympus Pen-F m4/3 camera. I used a 12mm lens and shot at 3200 ISO, f2, 15 second exposure.

@greghiggins @dfj the Pen-F is a very nice camera, sometimes I think of trading my E-M10 Mark III for it, and I can use the lenses I already got

@greghiggins I can recommend the Pen-F. I don’t use it a ton these days and the iPhone is rapidly closing the gap to smaller sensor cameras like this. But still has a big advantage with the swappable lenses.

@Gaby @dfj I’d have to buy all new lenses if I went this route.

@greghiggins @Gaby Hmm, if you are already invested in lenses, might be a hard pill to swallow to switch to the PEN-F and the micro 4/3 system. I didn’t have any lenses before I bought into m4/3. The PEN-F is my second body in this system. I find it to be a good balance of size vs capability.

But, these days I hardly bother to even take this camera with me. Use my iPhone for almost everything. The iPhone is not as capable as this camera, but it gets closer every year.

I think if I was starting fresh today, I’d look hard at full size camera sensors just to have even more of a gap between it and what an iPhone can do.

The PEN-F is also 3-4 years old, I think. So worth looking at what’s on the horizon in m4/3.
