    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f 1.2 PRO

    I was surprised to see that there is no thread to this wonderful little (comparatively speaking) gem. I haven't taken the OM-1 and the PRO primes out for a spin in a while. I forgot how these lenses can literally see starlight. This was handheld but braced against a fence. Another handheld...

    Micro 4/3 Some thoughts on m43

    Dennis Mook's blog has some great thoughts on the virtues of m43. To look at YouTube, blogs, etc, you'd get the impression m43 is dead or soon will be, "Full Frame is the only way to go". Dennis uses m43, Fuji X-T5 and Nikon Z8 for various purposes, so he has a somewhat unique perspective...

    Hello, I am new to this forum and glad to be here. I have been an amateur photographer for many years. I started with 35mm SLR Cameras, but now I am all digital. Recently, I have taken a great interest in street photography. Having a camera with me most of the time seems like the best way to...

    I recently made the decision to pick up this new lens, for what I do, traveling by truck, offroad, into the wilderness, it's a great lens for wildlife. Figured I would share a few of my first phots with this lens and see what others are capturing with this long range beast. All of these were...

    Travel In the Tire Tracks of George A. Wyman - photographed with Micro Four-Thirds

    In 1903, George A. Wyman rode his motorcycle from San Francisco to New York and became the first person to cross the country on a motor vehicle - car or motorcycle. In the summer of 2016, I endeavored to follow his tire tracks as best as I could on an electric motorcycle. As I prepared for the...

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Panny-Leica 42.5 f/1.2

    I have no chimney for Santa to drop down so I treated myself to a new lens. A tad over £500 got me the Panny-Leica 42.5 f/1.2. I thought it a decent price as it was immaculate and 1/2 the brand new cost. Not had too many chances yet to get out and about to do some damage with it, but I am...

    My "system" had risen to 4 cameras and my lens count to 11. With the acquisition of the gh6 last December I thought I was in "all done". At 74 I thought I had my dream system. Then the G9II came out with 3 benefits over my G9s that will be of benefit to the way I image. I wasn't done. But now...

    Micro 4/3 Travel tripod recommendations

    I'm talking about an OS family holiday with an OM-1. I'd rather shoot hand held than take the Gitzo but a small tripod might be nice for the occasional macro or landscape. At this stage, I intend to take a 12-40 f2.8, 60mm macro and 17mm f1.8.

    Advice Wanted Second Curtain shutter and the OMD E-M1X

    Howdy folks. I am running into an issue with the EM1X and the flash releasing at the end of the 'shutter', or more accurately, I don't think that it is. On my (very abused) G85s and GX9, there is the menu field that allows for 1st curtain and 2nd curtain shutter release. According to the manual...

    Olympus Question For The Experts - Lens Looseness

    All my OM System zoom lenses (8-25mm, 12-45mm, 40-150mm) are loose. And by that I mean, when extended the extended portion wobbles. Indeed, when shifting from landscape orientation to portrait, you can hear and see it "drop" down as gravity pulls on it. I've seen this with other lenses in my...
