I have an opportunity to purchase an E-M10 II w/the 75-300 II + 14-42 EZ for below fair price, but it would mean I’m no longer saving for one of the E-M1 bodies and/or nicer weather sealed lenses. The E-M10 II option would be a fun knock around and excuse for dabbling with other inexpensive...

Recently bought a second G9 and noticed that when I upload photos to the computer there is no meta data on camera settings...shutter speed, aperture, ISO. My other G9 includes this meta data...can't find a Menu setting to initiate this info and would appreciate any suggestions. TIA

Pretty bored right now. Of a lot of things. Just trying to hold my poop together. Wanted a new camera. I don't mind my EP7, but I miss a VF from time to time. Tried a Panny S5. Too big. Was considering Fuji. Maybe another time. Instead, got an EM5 iii. New from B&H. Black version on sale right...

I just got back from a trip to Wales, and this was my first chance to put the OM-1 through its paces. I’ve had about every camera system imaginable at this point, but Olympus/OM always sucked me back due to that magic blend of durability, compact size, and reasonable IQ. I’ve had the E-M10 ii...

Got one of those swell sunsets today, so grabbed what was available in the vinicity and popped out on the deck: Shot with the E-M5MkIII and the 12-45 Pro Shot with the E-M10MkIV and a 14-42EZ Shot with the Pen E-PL7 and another 14-42EZ. All pictures have gotten the LR one button auto...

But strong hints in regards of a G9MkII or some such thing, according to this: Rumour site. Looking forward to seeing what it is, and will probably wait untill the specs drops before making any further decision on swapping from Lumix to Olympus.

Hi all, I am looking to buy my first camera and would like to ask for some advice. I would mainly use it for travel/holidays: street photography, some landscapes, portraits. I am currently looking at the Panasonic G80 and the Olympus E-M10 IV and was wondering if maybe I could get some advice on...

So I just got an OM-1 and the front and rear dials are pretty stiff. With my O-M1.2 I can easily turn the front and rear dials one-handed, even at the same time. That is not the case with the OM-1. If I don't really press my finger slips without the dial turning. Normal? Do they loosen up?

Sony has developed a new 80 mp mft sensor. Sony’s High Speed 80 MP Quadpixel MFT sensor with full-pixel 2x2OCL phase focusing now available for all third party manufacturers – 43 Rumors

The Spotter-in-Chief and I took a walk on the Ballston Lake, NY, bike path. We stopped for a moment. She looked up and said, "Look, an inverted rainbow! . . . No, it's a circle." Saturation boosted. Notice the beginning of an inner rainbow. Cheers, Jock PS- Special thanks to Biro. He knows why.

Over the years I've had a stuck shutter on an EM1 Mki which needed a replacement and at the weekend I'm wondering whether my EM1 Mkii is sending me a warning. The following images were taken within minutes of each other - one that it is a bit of a surprise and the other what I was expecting...

15 yrs post diagnosis of my Parkinsons , my left hand tremor is beginning to cause issues more regularly. Luckily I am right handed....but the tremor can still resonate throughout my body; especially during my "off times" between medications. After seeing my surgeon yesterday I walked the 2...

I use several photo editors and own quite a few more (PS, LR, DxO PL, ON1, Affinity, Luminar 4, Luminar Neo, ...). I am not a fan of Adobe's subscription model and think their noise reduction/sharpening algorithms still suck when compared to the likes of Topaz, DxO or ON1. Yet, I am...

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.

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...

I am thinking of switching from the F2.8 40-150 Pro to the F4 40-150 Pro I am well aware of the negatives i.e. no support for converters and poorer lower light performance (and I have the MC20 and MC14) I am feeling compelled because of the smaller size and weight. One of the reasons I...

Interesting read ... personally used C1 for my Sony RAW and now OM-1 RAW processing. https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2023/03/how-your-camera-and-image-processor-determine-colors/

I have posted a few different posts specifying how I do this across the World Wide Web (especially with the MC-14), but I wanted a single post about the process that makes it possible for the MC-20. First off, the way this was made possible originally was through the PIXCO extension tubes that...

OM System had their live Landscape Q&A today. Couple things thing I learned 1. Focus Stacking - Focus 40-50% into the depth of the image 2. Focus Bracketing - focus at the start of the depth of the image Entire event is here

As most of you know, I have been guiding Northern Light photography tours for the last few months. I learned a bit ago that the local camera store would have a KEH event next month. I was happy to hear this because KEH doesn't do free shipping from Alaska for selling items. I have been saving my...

I'm new here and have searched and searched for a showcase for this lens but couldn't find one. I (hope) I've now created one, but if the moderators find one please delete this and redirect me. Anyway, for my first image on this forum I thought I'd treat you to a typical sunset shot, taken just...

We're going to Costa Rica in 5 weeks and I'd like to haul as little extra gear as possible. It's a fully guided 13 day wildlife photography tour. I'm going to take 2x OM-1 bodies, 150-400mm f4.5, 40-150mm f2.8, 21-40mm f2.8, 8mm f1.8 fisheye, 60mm f2.8 macro and STF-8 macro flash. Any other...

I understand the first generation EM5 has an issue where the mechanical shutter gets stuck after a certain number of actuations. I contacted Olympus to ask about the cost for repair, and they no longer support this model and is therefore unrepairable. Various sources say the shutter can get...

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...

Hello! I found a used first-gen OM-D EM-5 on MPB (my first M43 camera!). What's a good zoom lens in the 24-70mm FF-equivalent range? Not a pro so don't need anything too fancy. Thanks!

I'm curious whether anyone with either an OM-5 or one of the E-M5 bodies is using this lens. I'm sorely tempted by its versatility and IS but, I'm concerned that it might be too long/heavy for the smaller bodies.

Didn’t notice a thread for this lens. I no longer own it, but I did enjoy it. They are becoming exceptionally affordable on the used market now, so thought I’d throw a few shot ups. I enjoyed the nice OOF rendering, although I found the greens a bit over saturated.

I am setting up this thread to address how to use button assignments, especially on the newest OMDS cameras, and also especially how they relate to C-mode settings. Rob Trek has an interesting video on using button assignments for C Modes on the OM-1: It kind of clarifies how these button...

Indoor photography of kids Using OM-1. This is primarily what this will be used for recommendations, on a budget. olympus. 12-40 2.8. Used Olympus 25 1.8. On sale 299 Panasonic 25 1.7. On sale 149 Panasonic 25. 1.4. Can get used for just over 300

If someone had a) an explanation, i.e. could tell me what to avoid, or b) a solution, i.e. a way to finally stop this, I'd be much obliged. It's a major annoyance - to the point of me wanting to hurl the camera at the wall (I won't, but it *does* wreak havoc with cataloguing the images). M.

Just updated my E-M1 MkII from v.3.3 to v.3.7. First attempt: After nearly an hour of nothing happening, a little thought crept into my head about the battery being 100% full. Surely not? Mine was showing 98% at the start. With enormous trepidation, I turned the camera off. Disconnected it...

(I've posted this on the 'other site' too.) I have an odd problem with both of my OM-1s. I'm not sure what I'm doing to cause it and have found only one way to get back to normal. Occasionally I somehow set the camera to Manual focus and can't get it to go back to S-AF+M by pushing the L-Fn on...

I think I've found the perfect car lens. Took my E-M1 MkII + 12-100 + 8-25 to the Beaumaris car show today. I put the 8-25 on the camera, and never changed lenses once. Currently, I'm just reviewing the half resolution images on my 10" tablet. While it doesn't appear as crackingly sharp as...

Is my first shoot with my MPB 8-18 and a 35-100 f2.8 V1 (think I bought it here for a great price) on the Gh6. Looking forward to shooting where the Columbia runs into the Pacific Ocean. 4 hours of driving for 3 hours of shooting (if I don't do any high codecs as my Cfast card is only 256...

Man, I want the lens, but $1500 is pretty pricy.

Mine did on my E-M1 MkII screen several months ago. Oi.Share would not connect to my E-M1 MkII, nor could it see it. I thought "Bugger. A trip to Olympus Oz to fix." However, when I was reading the f******* manual this morning (gasp!!), it informed me that if this icon is not showing, you can...

So, it looks like Panasonic really is still in the small camera game according to the m43 rumors interview. Heck if the small camera is the right one I might retire my Gx85 (although it's loving the 12-35 that now "it's lens" after getting the 8-18/12-60 for the bigger cameras. I think the best...

This just popped into my inbox "We have released firmware updates for the following models in preparation for the release of the M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO Lens. The models are: the E-M1 Mark II, E-M1 Mark III, E-M5 Mark III, E-M1X, and the OM-5. No update is required for the...

Can anyone here confirm that the little 14-42EZ is parfocal?? I am sick at the moment, so testing for myself is awkward and leaves doubts.

I'm really becoming a fan of the Laowa line of lenses, especially the "AE" ones with contacts and automatic aperture. I shoot a lot of manual glass, and I hate having to program them in before using them — or forgetting, and having it identify in EXIF as something wrong. Plus, the actual taking...

Having looked at the Oly Lens roadmap as well as searching the rumour mills and forums, there seems to be something brewing in the longer end of the medium telephoto zoom range. It do seem to be a slow boil, though. It anyhow got me thinking about my system, it also ties in with slipping a E-M10...

Emilie Talpin has linked to a sheets by Chris McGinnis for focus bracketing. The main video is about the "ATOL" camera rotator worth a look at as well. By the comments in the video OM cameras are not listed as compatable, I guess all the front buttons etc will not be usable but by the video look...

Hi guys and gals, long time no see. Recently I had my main camera (Panasonic GX8) and my most expensive lens (12-35/2.8) destroyed in an unfortunate accident. I also have a Lumix GX85 which, sadly, suffers from the well-documented battery drain issue. The camera works fine, but if I leave it...

Which should I be dreaming of to go with my e-m5.2 and GX-85? Silly question, I know, but please humor me. Please?

For about 7 years I've been using an Oly 9-18 and a Pany 14 with GWC1 as my "normal" wide angle lenses (I also have the Rok 7.5mm FE). The Pany 14 goes into my G9/100-400 case for landscapes when I'm out birding. The Oly never felt right on the G9's (but the images are really quite good) so the...
