OM-1

I have owned a camera from almost every system being produced but I always find myself drawn back to Olympus M43 cameras. I have a Fujifilm XH2S but I seem to prefer my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, to the point that I'm seriously considering selling my Fuji kit to get an OM-1. It's so sad how Olympus

OM isn't 'the poorest system' for landscapes. That's a narrow mindset of the uninformed (usually FF shooters who've never used M43 and go by specs). It's extremely difficult to tell the difference between 11 or 12 stops in a print (for example). The difference is more in the operator than the gear.

My simple answer is* you can buy better cameras, but in for the things m43 is particularly good at - only for more money* m43 works really well for most things, but other systems work better for some* m43 weakest points vs full frame cameras are high-iso noise and dynamic range – but it is still perfe

Four thirds - I shoot most sensor formats all the way up to a GFX100S. The color from my ancient E500 with a Kodak CCD is very pleasing to my eyes, and the lenses are spectacular - and cheap. Resolution is fine for sharing online and making small prints. The spiked my curiosity - I really like the c

Few factors : - Lumix has always been a bit of a video-centric brand, ever since the GH1 released. Most of why peop[le bought Lumix cameras for was very often the excellent video specs compared to the price point, and not really their photo capabilities (which are still good) - Olympus has a HUGE ba

I mostly shoot with Fuji these days, but for a long time was an Olympus shooter in the 4/3 days and still have a GX85 that I like. I really like m4/3. I've used full frame cameras. There are clear benefits to the various systems, but the differences are not always as great as some may believe. The e

My camera is the OM-1 Mark ii and the lens was OM System 90mm 1:3.5 MACRO IS PRO. It’s my favorite bug camera! I also use an Olympus bellows lens and a laowa macro lens for my other photos. I have some of my shots on my photography page on instagram ( @Violetsandlenses ) if you’d like to check them

I think modern OM system stuff is meant to be pretty fine. There's not been a huge amount of development across M43 sensors though. The OM1 and Lumix G9 both seem pretty great for their markets tbf

The 12-100 is a superb lens which really has no weaknesses, except that it is a largeish lens for the MFT system. I love mine, and it is my go-to lens in most situations. My go bag has two bodies: an OM-1 with the 300 f/4 PRO and an OM-1 II with the 12-100.

As someone who's had a camera in their hand for more than 35 years, I like that OM has a very nice simple selection of bodies and a rather amazing array of lenses. I've owned Minolta, Kodak, Pentax, Fuj, Sony, Canon, Leica, Nikon, Panasonic and Olympus. Even with bigger bodies like the OM-1 the m43
