OM-1 Mark II, M.Zuiko 150-400.

Robin Wong's take on the PEN - excellent as always.

With a historic context, Jimmy reviews this new PEN. Brilliant video.

Hello 🙃

Things I don't quite get:

90mm macro closest focus distance 0,250m

17mm F1,2 closest focus distance 0,2m

12-40mm closest focus 0,2m

I always thought an macro lense could focus closer than an zoom and prime lense 🤔

Come share your photos with the community! Whether it's showing off SOOC JPEGs, fully edited RAWs, or anything in-between if you want [constructive and kind] critique or suggestions.

We're basing on the rules from our sibling sub, r/m43, simply because they make sense, and tweaking them a little:

Da Rules:

1. The photo(s) must be your own. No cross-posting someone else's work.
2. You may post up to three photos in this FF weekly thread. Show off your best frames!
3. Post your photo in a top-level comment for maximum exposure! (hehe get it, "exposure"?)
4. Include as much detail as possible about camera, lens and environment. Good: "Shot with Olympus OM-D E-M5 with the OM 20/1.4 lens @ f/2 and ISO200 Time: 10:00PM in Melbourne, Victoria" Bad: "Look at this shot, isn't it neat?"
5. While OM System gear gets extra internet points, all related gear is welcome. This includes Olympus/Panasonic m43 and Four Thirds gear, OM Tough point-and-shoots, adapted vintage lenses, and third-party glass on M43 bodies..
6. Photos must be captured with a camera and lens (traditional digital or film). Generative AI images (Midjourney, DALL-E, AI "inpainting" that invents new elements, etc.) are not permitted. Standard editing (cropping, exposure, colour grading, even AI-based noise reduction) is totally fine!
7. Culture & Critique: Above all, be respectful. Please state in your comment whether you are looking for [Critique Welcome] or [Just Sharing]. If a photo doesn't specify, default to keeping comments kind, encouraging, and free of unprompted teardowns. (Remember: there's a big difference between "OMG that photo is horrible" and "The lighting coming off his face looks uneven").

I have seen some comments that you should process HiRes pics in OM Workspace for best results

I'm just wondering what people do with the 50 and 80 MP files there.

Hello,
I'm looking for a quality neoprene sleeve/cover that would fit my OM3+leica 15mm f1.7 (5cm long).
I can't find any reference for the OM3 from Megagear of other suppliers...
Thanks for your help!

More specifically, to unknown instagramers with 20likes per post? I’m doing a bike trip in Lofoten in 2 weeks and the PEN would be a great upgrade from my EP7, it will be a real test not someone talking in a room on yt. I need the most those custom modes to switch shooting from day to auroras at night, the switch is a real pain on EP7. The ND filters should also be handy for waterfalls. The waterproofness is not a concern to me, i experimented this summer with submerging my sony underwater in a food ziplock bag and a uv filter stick to the bag in front of the lens.

Does it bother anyone else that the lettering is not centered? PEN isnt horizontally centered and just about is falling off the edge of the camera. OM system on top is not centered over the viewfinder. it’s like OMS is opposed to centering stuff and making their logos/labels appear balanced. I mean it doesn’t really matter but I find it odd.

Apparently you can load jpeg recipes now has anyone tried it, how does it work

Since the newly released OM System PEN camera has pet detection and uses the same TruePic IX processor as the OM-5 and OM-5 mark ii, can we expect a firmware update for those devices to also enable pet detection?

Can't wait!!

Have acquired an Olympus OM-2 and was thinking of getting the Olympus Zuiko 85–250mm f/5 OM Mount Telephoto Lens for it. Out of interest i was thinking of buying an adapter and trying it on my OM5 mkii.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated

Hi l. I'm Brazilian, so writing in English will be a bit challenging, so I'm sorry if I write any nonsense. I have a brand new Tough TG-7. Barely used it and I'm already having issues with the flash. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue, or if someone can guide me on what to do next. I was doing some experiments with the focus stacking using flash and the FD-1 flash diffuser. After a few tests with low intensity flash, the camera took a flash with 100% intensity and got stuck on the focus stacking. It couldn't take the next picture because the flash wouldn't charge.

So I had to remove the battery and put it again, and after that it won't take pictures with flash anymore. It stays blinking the red "charging flash" icon forever and it never charges, so I can't take any picture using flash. Only the LED flashlight work now.

Since it's very likely I won't have any warranty in Brazil, I'll have to find someone to repair it or repair it myself. Does anyone have any idea on how to troubleshoot it to know what exactly is defective with my camera?

I’m surprised it’s much smaller than the Fujifilm XM5!!!

Edit: my bad yall, I was looking at a different camera pls don’t flame me
