    Micro 4/3 Debating the Olympus 75mm VS Sigma 56mm

    Hello. Spring is here and I'm having ideas of dog portraits in different areas, especially the low light ones like forest paths. I will use my Olympus 40-150mm f 2.8 PRO for action but I would like a faster lens for static and posing moments and achieve some shallow DoF. I can get that with the...

    Micro 4/3 Why the Olympus 25mm 1.8

    Some of you know that over several years I had lots of Olympus lenses. Some lenses I sold a and bought it again. The 17mm 1.8 I tried many months but couldn't fall in love even it is a great lens. The Olympus 40-150mm f4-5.6 I bought three times and sold it after view month, the last one I sold...

    Micro 4/3 I made a grip for the Olympus Pen-F

    I am going to travel for four weeks in Asia soon, and I intend to bring the Pen-F as my main camera. I find the ergonomics of the camera to be just so-so. The front is too flat and the knurled mode selector knob tends to dig into the skin. Looking at the existing grips that can be purchased...

    Film Analog Insights Reviews the Olympus OM-3

    I see the OM-3Ti crop up occasionally for sale (for crazy prices) but not the 3. But seeing this video I can see why - only made for 3 years and then almost a ten year gap to the release of the 3Ti (which continued to be made into this century). I have a fairly battered Champagne OM-4Ti which...

    Advice Wanted Olympus EE-1 Dot Sight Issue

    I just purchased the Olympus EE-1 Dot Sight. It connects to the hot shoe and there is a pin so that it registers with the camera (OM-1). It has its own internal battery, so I don't think it's drawing power from the camera and my OM-1 battery held up fine. I didn't notice any additional drain...
