The black Countryman E6i Directional Earset Mic, Low Gain with Detachable 1mm Cable and 3.5mm locking Connector for Olympus, Roland, Sony, Tascam, Yamaha, or Zoom Portable Recorders is a vocal microphone with a soft, flexible boom that facilitates its adjustment for different users. It's built with a larger silicone rubber earpiece making it better suited for situations when multiple users share the same mic.

The E6i earset can be used on either ear for capturing audio and rejecting unwanted sound, feedback, or surrounding noise from stage monitors or nearby speakers in houses of worship, theater, and outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, directional E6i earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers will forget they're wearing a mic. This version offers the lowest gain for the most powerful vocals that require the highest overload. Additionally, the earset comes with two pattern-changeable protective caps for maximum isolation and gain before feedback. This directional E6i earset's cable terminates to a 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Olympus, Roland, Sony, Tascam, Yamaha, or Zoom DM-420, DM-520, DM-620, DS-2400, DS-40, DS-51, DS-61, DS-71, LS-10, LS-14, R05, R09HR, PCM-D50, PCM-M10, DR-05, DR-07mkII, DR-08, PR-10, Pocketrak C24, Pocketrak W24, H1, H2, and H2n portable recorders.

The Countryman earsets are very small, lightweight, and the least visible headworn microphones.

The E6i is soft and highly flexible with a larger silicone rubber ear piece. When multiple users share a mic, the E6i is a great choice. The soft boom is durable and the flexibility makes it easy to adjust for different users.

The E6i's stainless steel boom is tough and can be bent and re-bent to fit different performers. It is highly resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps. The earset should always have a protective cap in place to keep sweat, makeup, and other foreign material out of the microphone.

The E6i earset's flexible boom is easily shaped right on the performer's face. Changeable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. The directional earset protective caps adjust the pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid.

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The directional E6i earset provides more isolation and is suitable for situations where there are loud monitors, extreme feedback, or environmental noise.

The included removable, quick-swap cable detaches from the actual earset, making it completely replaceable in the event of a short or break. The replaceable cable design makes upgrading wireless microphone systems easy as they are available in a wide selection of connections to accommodate most wireless transmitters.

Q: 1. I have an Olympus Pen(silver).Should I get the 45mm lens in silver or black plastic?

Q: 2. An this be used as an all-purpose lens, as well?

A: Yes, it is not just for portraits but it can be used for landscapes, street photography, and just about any type of photography. I find a short telephoto such as this (equivalent to 90 mm for full-frame) to be the most useful of all prime lenses (much more so than a wide angle IMHO). I find this lens to be somewhat comparable to my 105 mm Nikkor, which I use for my film shooting.

Q: 3. What comes in with the box with the Olympus 45 1.8 lens ?

A: In the box comes just the lens. Its very good.

Q: 4. Does the autofocus work well in this lens?

A: Yes, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 Lens has fast and quiet autofocus performance. The autofocus performance has been shown to perform well on all Micro Four Third mount mirrorless digital cameras.

Q: 5. Is the body made of metal or plastic.?

A: It is both. The mount flange and part of the front tube are metal. The rest seems to be plastic. That is really not relevant. The plastic parts serve to reduce the weight, not the quality. This is a very fine lens, plastic or not. Weight is not the same as quality! A more useful question is what the optics are made of. Answer: seriously high grade glass.

Q: 7. Looking for a wide lens that handles point light sources well, like shooting into a sunset or sunrise. I have the 7-14 f2.8 and the 12-40 f2.8 and both lenses have lots of flare when shooting into s strong point light source. How does this lens handle that type of lighting?

A: The only times I have had flare is if I am shooting with the sun in the frame and it wasn't behind any clouds and it was prominent in the frame (like center upper third) and it is wide open (f/2). In general I would say the flare control is quite good. It isn't something I really think of as an issue when I am using the lens. I would highly recommend. In comparison to the two lenses you mentioned, I have never used the 7-14, and I have not used the 12-40 extensively, but I would say the flare control is noticeably better on the 12 than the 12-40. Looking through a few thousand photos with my 12 I only see a small few with flare.
