micro four thirds

The Panasonic GX85 arrived today. Here are my first impressions. It is the exact size that I wanted for a coat pocketable, minimalist camera. The weight in hand feels good. Makes the camera feel robust and durable. I like the off center EVF. While not the biggest or best - it is servicable...

I am still getting used to shooting the Micro Four Thirds format, from the 4:3 aspect ratio (I have gotten used to shooting 3:2 and I found it easier to work with for A3 prints that I usually do and my 16:9 4K Asus Pro Art monitor) to the DoF difference at all apertures up to f 8. But while I...

Haro ... it's been almost a week with the OM-1 and even though I haven't gotten out much to make images because of the weather but also getting my first tattoo has kept me short on how long I use the camera in a day. These are first impressions and some thoughts in my head and putting them down...

So a camera hack just dawned on me. If you’re a G9 shooter, one of the great little custom options is the AF near/far focus that you can assign to custom buttons. We’ve probably all been there where you’re wanting to focus on something up close, but the AF keeps wanting to grab the background...

Haro ... the thread is not meant to be a versus situation but more of a conversation on what your and other people's needs might be. I have spent the last few weeks reading as much information as I can, and today I watched every single video on YouTube about Panasonic G9 Mark II (but that's more...

Lumix GF1 w' adapted Minolta Rokkor 58mm f1.4 @ f1.4 (intentionally focused on the nearest paw - this lens is notoriously soft wide open - very useful!)

Many of you from that other place might remember Nam's adventures and his tragic demise on one of those adventures. His effort and results were always inspiring to me. Occasionally I think about his threads and the tales he'd share in producing his fantastic results. As far as I know, he pretty...

https://petapixel.com/2023/10/06/a-20mp-sensor-in-a-film-canister-reinvigorates-vintage-analog-cameras/ This concept goes back more than 20 years. I hope this one pulls it off.

Haro. I am curious what do you guys and girls think about the discounts that will come for Black Friday. Will you be buying anything or looking for something might be cheap enough to tempt you? I'm asking here because I am looking/thinking at switching to Olympus OM-1 and I am curious to see if...

Is anyone using this 7Artisans 18mm F6.3 II lens? I just happened to find it on eBay..... Thought it might be a fun lens for da' GF1 !!

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...

In the shadows of the G9 MkII release, OMD dropped the new version of the rugged, diveable camera: DPReviews announcement. Seems to be more of the same, nothing much new that I can find, a more grippable grip and the possibility to shoot video in the vertical postistion seems to be the major...

This camera will be announced. What is: C4K? Real time LUT? Leica Monochrome with L2 technology? Unfortunately the oled viewfinder is low resolution, same as my G100. What size and weight has the body?

Thinking of adding maybe a EM10-ii or iii, or possibly Pen EP-? To my bag. There are times i would like to have a smaller body camera with a small prime I can stick in pocket instead of using my OM-1. Weather resistance not a primary concern for this body. No evf not issue with Pen. Guess...

After seven months, I rang Wex and asked them, "Where is my new toy?!" They said, "It's here!" So I'm getting something new to play with tomorrow. I've already warned my boss that my productivity may be low.. Far too excited for my age, and I don't care. No idea how to fit it into a camera...

I've posted this on the other site but know a lot of Micro 4/3 folks have permanently migrated to Cameraderie. On properly exposed images shot with moderate to low ISOs I have been using Unsharp Mask 64% to 80%, Radius of 0.9 pixels to 2.0 pixels and Threshold of 0 to 3. Sharpness is set to Off...

First few shots, taken with my E-M5 mk II. All shot at f2.8 or f4 and SOOC jpegs.

Howdy folks. I have Hanel Captur for O/P, and while the setup works G85-G85 or G85 and G3, it is not working with the EM1X at all. (this is a wireless setup) I finally was able to visit a bricks+mortar store today and the assistant there mentioned that while the triggers are fine to EM1III, it...

Hello everyone. I am going into videography of electronics circuits. I have a Lumix GH5 camera and am looking for a lens that will: Give a magnified image of the part, say 3X to 6X Has a depth of field of at least one inch. Be above the work piece by about 8 inches to afford some working room...

I've been using a Godox TT350o for macro and close-up photography, It's a fine flash for that but ... But in bright light it won't fire as an off-camera slave or off-camera using a camera to flash cable. It works well in both modes in dim light, but if I try to underlight or backlight a mushroom...

Been thinking of adding a lens in this range to my bag. Been reading some on 23 so know the good and bad, but it does sound interesting For days when I just want to walk around town and shoot And not carry my 12-100. Any thoughts on 23 vs 25. Anyone even using 25? Would be using on...

Has anyone got this lens and would care to say a few words about their view on the quality and post some pics, specifically environmental portraits if possible?

The first ripe blueberries in our garden

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...

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?

https://asia.olympus-imaging.com/product/dslr/mlens/25_18/index.html I've been madly twisting the front of mine but it still wont zoom!!

First photos with this lens on my E-M5.2. Inevitably at f1.4...I'll give it a bit more of a test tomorrow but the lens feels like a quality item. Solid metal construction and very smooth aperture and focus rings.

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...
