Lumix System

I appreciate the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system due to its compactness and versatility. At present, I am using the Lumix G85 camera body. This camera is well-designed and suitable for both professional and personal applications. I possess two lenses for my Lumix G85: the standard zoom lens 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens, and recently, I upgraded to the Panasonic Leica 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 lens within the same range of standard zoom. I find this new lens particularly impressive due to its equivalent focal length of approximately 24-120mm on a full-frame sensor.

As a former Canon DSLR user, I initially used the Canon 1000D. After experiencing a malfunction with this camera, I transitioned to the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system and have not regretted the switch. Despite the Lumix G85 not being classified as a professional camera, it has served me well in my professional work as a photographer.

I intend to acquire professional-grade cameras from Lumix (either MFT or a full-frame camera) and high-quality lenses, as I believe these tools will significantly enhance my capabilities as a photographer. I aspire to join the Lumix Ambassador program because I believe that Lumix offers a top-quality camera system.

My portfolio can be viewed on my website at joemenbayan.com. The collection predominantly features photographs taken with my Lumix G85 camera.
