I have had the Olympus Pen-F since it was released but just picked up the Panasonic 12-60 to see if I like it as a walk-around/travel lens. So far the impressions (after just getting it) are very good. Nice and light - balances well with the Pen-F. AF was very quick - even in some dimly lit...

I just received the Panasonic 12-32 Pancake lens with the intention of using it on my Olympus Pen-F. I have been "testing" it against the Olympus 14-42EZ Pancake that I already have and noticed that in low to dim lighting, the Panasonic lens hunts much more often and even when it obtains AF...

Has anyone noticed a difference in exposure between Panasonic and Olympus lenses? I have the Pen-F which really - at least for me - screams for small primes and pancakes. I had the Olympus 14-42EZ pancake and got the Panasonic 12-32 Pancake to compare. And while doing some VERY unscientific...

Recently got the Olympus Pen-F and love it. Was doing some simple comparison shots between the Olympus 14-42EZ lens (that I had) and the Panasonic 12-32 (that I just got) and still have not decided which lens I prefer to keep. Anyway, was taking some shots of some nearby flowers that were still...

I recently returned to LR after Apple decided to discontinue support for Aperture and I have a question about importing photos when shooting RAW+JPEG. I see there is an option to have LR import the JPEG versions as a "sidecar" of the RAW file - but then as far as I can see there is (1) no...

i just picked up the Olympus Pen-F and I really would prefer not to either deal with switching primes all the time (just me though I do love walking around with a single lens) or the larger "pro" zooms which to me are better fitted for the larger OMD style bodies. I have the Olympus 14-42 EZ...

Some more shots from my first afternoon (pre-Concert) with the Olympus Pen-F. All SOOC JPEGs, albeit with Color Profile 2 and B&W Profile 2. Really enjoying the experience with the camera - even getting used to having the fully articulated LCD vs the tilt type that I generally prefer. Also...

I started listening to him when I discovered him through Apple Music last year and this was my first chance to see him live. Loved the way that Stephen and Kenny played off each other but Kenny was AMAZING!!! Thanks.

I picked up my new Pen-F yesterday afternoon (replacing my EM-10v2) and love it. Brought along a few charged batteries and my 14-42EZ lens, spent some time in Times Square learning the camera and changing most of my settings and then had a concert at BB Kings with The Rides (great Blues/Rock...

Flew out to California and decided to just take my Olympus EM10II and the 14-42EZ Pancake. Loved the handling and very happy with the results. Some were RAW imported into Lightroom (no adjustments made) and some were Olympus Art Filters.

Can anyone suggest a good program for a Mac (or a Lightroom plug-in) for increasing the resolution of old photo scans? Years ago I had purchased a scanner to scan my old 35mm slide collection. The problem is that the resolution of the scans is very small by today's standards and I can no longer...

I have been shooting with the EM10 since it came out (without a grip) and a variety of lenses. Usually one of the kit zooms for convenience and the 17mm/1.8 otherwise. I have (to be completely honest) lusted over the 12-40, but every time it comes up in the reconditioned pages at Olympus, I just...

Took a long weekend to visit our son and his wife in San Francisco (and defrost from the New York winter) and decided to just take my G7X along. Overall, very happy with the results. Still have to get used to some quirks (read "design decisions by Canon") that I got used to with my Olympus...

#1 - Yes I agree that the results were very good. #2 - And yes, the camera does balance ambient light and flash in those cases where you instruct it to use the flash also. (Did think that it was strange that on AUTO mode, even with the flash popped up, the camera would prefer to use higher ISOs...

I attended a 3rd birthday party for my nephew yesterday and decided to bring along the G7X to get some pics of the family (as opposed to my Olympus EM10). Overall was very impressed with the responsiveness of the camera. Setup a Custom Mode that automatically set the camera to Av mode...
