Micro Four Thirds meets Bokeh
What is the secret to getting maximum bokeh out of the Micro Four Thirds format? or any other MFT camera? Lets step deep into the beauty of bokeh and look at just how much of a full-frame look you can squeeze out of smaller sensors.






I’ve spent a lot of time in recent years shooting with the LUMIX G9, GH6 and now the G9 Mark II. And I am someone who really really likes to shoot wide open for creative effect – I love my bokeh. The biggest limitation of cameras with smaller sensors is they deliver more “depth of field” than is ideal at times. This problem is compounded by cheaper lenses that aren’t “fast lenses” anyway.

The question I’m exploring in this video is whether you really can capture images with rich bokeh and shallow depth of field that compare against full frame cameras with very expensive lenses? And we’re going to do that while exploring the temples of Laos, the mountains of the Himalayas, an island in the Pacific plus a little of the Australian Outback.

Good Gear

Very selected features on the hardware, software and extra wares that help me get the job done.

DxO PhotoLab Discount Code

I posted a video about getting away from subscription pricing with Adobe and Capture One, so the folks at DxO reached out to offer a discount code to my readers :)

Sony A7 IV Custom Setup

My guide to custom settings on the Sony A7IV, including a free download of my own CamSet to configure your Sony.

TT Artisan 35mm F1.8

Food photography lens for smaller mirrorless cameras. Excellent quality images and a fast aperture make this lens the ideal companion to your APS-C sized sensor such as the Nikon Z50 and Canon R50.

Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD

I travelled in the Himalayas for a few months with this lovely lens. If you're interested in more than just tech specs, and what it's like to work with this lens for an extended time then you've come to the right place.

Viltrox E-Z Autofocus Adapter

Sounded too good to be true, but this thing actually works. Tested with a handful of full-frame Sigma E-mount lenses on the Nikon ZR.

ZV-E1 Still My Favourite Sony

Two years on and this affordable and compact full-frame camera still delivers great results, and still makes us smile. Definitely one of those times when less is more.
