    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    The 12-100 seems to have universally beloved status among reviewers and professional adventure photographers for its versatility and overall IQ. That said, the response in the community seems to be overall a bit more cultish and less of a mainstream best seller (at least based on the searches I...

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus E-M5 Mark II

    Maybe this is a little too late for a camera that's almost seven years old, but I see several people still shooting with one, so why not add photos to a showcase thread? I was out shooting today in the natural JPEG mode, with auto WB and the TTartisans 23/1.4, which renders images quite warm...

    Tatsuya Tanaka's amazing Olympus camera 'Miniature' sculpture

    In a post by Canadian photographer Jim Chung, I accidentally ran across a mention of some of the cool and remarkable sculptures of Tatsuya Tanaka, the Japanese artist who creates 'miniature sculptures' using an insanely varied variety of real bits and pieces of daily technology. And one of them...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 40-150 vs 40-150 (Battle of the Pros)

    Has anyone shot with both the 40-150 2.8 and the newer 40-150 4? I’m strongly tempted to go with the 2.8 because of the price of the new f4, but obviously the new f4 is compact enough to be tempting, since it’d be a dual use landscape/near field wildlife option. The ability to use TC’s is...

    Thought I'd try renting to see if I might want one for myself. Initial response is too large and heavy for my needs, but very good overall performance when mounted on my E-M5 Mk III. All Handheld SOOC Bird was moving (cropped)

    Software OM Workspace (former Olympus) new AI Noise Reduction

    With the release of the new OM-1 camera, OM System has released an updated version of Workspace as well.

    Micro 4/3 Olympus E-PL8 AF

    Hi, the EPL-8 is currently my main m43 camera. The AF sometimes behaves a little odd. The AF when I have all the green boxes "active" sometimes latches on the wrong things. I mostly document my kids/family, and I just want things to be in focus. I set the release prio to focus. Only using...

    Initial impressions of the Olympus TG6 When my Canon G12 died, I was bereft. It was my first serious digital camera; it served me faithfully for over a decade; it was my go-to camera when I ran the Airguns of Arizona blog for over 8 years, and it was my go-to camera when someone in the...

    One of my all time favorites, I keep going between this, the Pan 14mm, and PanLeica 15mm. I'll probably pick up another 14mm, but this time I think I'll just keep the 17mm as well.
