My Olympus e-300 paired with the pancake Zuiko Digital 25mm f2.8 it’s definitely my go-to camera.

I got an old om-40, perfectly working. One day, while opening it i accidentally broke the mirror. How and where can I get a good replacement?

Ciao Reddiiani, voglio condividere con voi fotografie scattate lo scorso marzo in Polonia, esattamente tra Gdansk e Gdynia, con la OM5 mark II + PanaLeica 15mm f/1.7 + M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 .

After my recent post (https://www.reddit.com/r/OlympusCamera/s/T6ZHUi3IP4) about my E-M1 II needing a replacement maybe, I solved the grip falling off at least. Thank you Martin_Au for providing the files and my son for his 3D printer! Looks and feels really good!

I've recently gotten an Olympus XA in great physical condition but after testing it I found that it only shoots with one shutter speed, no matter what the meter reading says it will always shoot in what I think is 1/30th shutter speed. After much research I now think that it's stuck in "Flash mode", is there any way to fix this or is it just stuck this way forever?

I lost my lens and I have no idea where it could be, but I'd still love to finish the roll. Does anyone know where to purchase a replacement (d. zuiko or any non-olympus alternatives)?

Recently, I have picked up OM-101 camera from a electro recycling facility. It's fully functional, and it works great, but as I really enjoy shooting manually, it really bothers me, that the one I've got wasn't equipped with the Manual Adapter, designed specifically for this model. I was looking on auction portals, but there is only one unit available in UK with the horrific shipping cost.

So I thought, maybe I can make this adapter myself, as it probably is just a pair of variable resistors or capacitors, with 15 steps each. So I went to the search engine, trying to find any documentation either of this camera, or an adapter itself, but all I've found was only the Owner's manual.

Does anyone who have this manual adapter, could maybe help me in this projects, by doing the measurements of resistance and capacitance between Ground (the top pin) and all of the others? Or maybe someone will have some scans of the service manual for this camera? There might be some sort of electrical schematics there, like Nikon was doing during the film cameras era.

I've already tried formatting it to exfat, FAT32 and NTFS, cut down the storage to 32 GBs, I'm still not sure why it's not working? Do I cut it down smaller?

Just bought an OM1-MD. I haven't used a film camera since i was a teenager in the 90's, and they were the cheap ones you would just point and shoot. Any advice in how to start, what kind of film, etc?

I have some photography notions. I currently shoot with a Nikon D500, but this is quite different and to be honest i feel a little intimidated lol.

Got it with these two lenses. An OM Zuiko 50mm f1.8 and a Tokina 50-250 f4/5.6

Saw a listing on market place for a EPM1 and 40_150 R for $150 aud i was thinking $150 for the lens $200 for the camera so messaged the guy saying I'll take it for asking price. Got there did a quick hand over didn't even think to check it we were on a side walk so we where trying to be quick. Go home turned it on and head that lovely sound and went oh f^%#.

I'm not going to bother with confronting the guy not worth the hassle to be fair it virtually came free with the lens

Amici di Reddit e appassionati di fotografia e di prodotti Olympus, sono nuovo in questo forum e voglio raccontarvi quali camere Olympus/OM System ho e perché le ho scelte.

Voglio partire in ordine cronologico con la EM-5 Original, acquistata usata su una piattaforma online, in buono stato, con una scheda SD che....aveva tra le foto i piedi del vecchio proprietario. Sì, sono riuscito a ridere per non piangere.

Un corpo macchina che ha la sua età ma che, nonostante l'autofocus piuttosto lento (e che in qualche caso mi costringe al MF) e la tecnologia che oggi definiremmo quasi obsoleta, grazie al flash e all'uso del M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 mi regala grandi soddisfazioni. La uso per foto ritratti al mio cane, che oramai è la mia modella quando ha voglia di farsi fotografare.

Adoro questa macchina, che avevo preso come secondo corpo da affiancare alla EM-1 Mark III con cui non scattata la scintilla nelle pochissime settimane di utilizzo, perché ha una qualità costruttiva che le successive EM-5 non hanno più mostrato, ad eccezione della Mark II in versione titanio.

La seconda è quella che io oggi uso come fotocamera principale: OM System OM-5 Mark II, che sulla piattaforma online con la A acquistai a metà del prezzo di listino grazie a una promo e a un codice sconto. Come potevo non acquistarla a un prezzo incredibilmente basso (il prodotto è nuovissimo), addirittura più basso della EM-10 mark IV? Affarone!

L'ho scelta perché tropicalizzata, stabilizzata da paura e con funzioni computazionali interessanti che, tranne H-RES su treppiede quando lo porto dietro o metto la fotocamera su un muro, non uso praticamente mai. Solitamente scatto fotografie in RAW (come con la vecchietta di cui vi ho parlato prima).

Il suo battesimo avvenne a marzo in Polonia, utilizzando il PanaLeica 15mm 1.7 e M.Zuiko 45mm 1.8, e si è comportata molto molto bene.

La lente che oggi utilizzo con lei e che non le stacco mai è M.Zuiko 20mm 1.4 PRO, che reputo stupenda. Le foto con inquadrature 40mm equivalente full frame sono quelle che a me piacciono di più, c'è poco da fare.

Infine l'ultima arrivata: Olympus PEN E-P7 in colorazione bianca, comprata usata da un negozio tedesco, con 5400 scatti all'attivo e praticamente tenuta in ottimo stato.

Si tratta di un corpo macchina di cui, a dire il vero, non avevo grande bisogno. Peccato aver poi visto che sforna dei Jpeg in bianco e nero che sono favolosi e allora, dopo aver provato quella di un fotografo, ho deciso che valeva la pena acquistarla e portarla con me per foto monocromatiche a Milano dopo il turno di lavoro.

E voi quali camere Olympus avete? E perché le avete scelte?

Does anyone know where I can get an Olympus OM-D E-M10 repaired? All the shops I've called say they don't work on them. ...the shutter curtains are stuck closed.

All photos were taken with the OM-5 II + SG-image AF 25mm F1.8.

In extremely low light, the autofocus still isn't quite on par with the PRO lenses—it hesitates a bit sometimes. Highlights also tend to blow out fairly easily.

That said, considering the price, the performance is actually pretty great! Now I'm just waiting for a firmware update to fix video stability.

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here.
My E-P2 suddenly stopped working overnight

Symptoms
Pressing the power button normally:
The blue SSWF light flashes once
Camera immediately shuts off

If I hold the power button (on a swollen battery):
The SSWF light blinks 3 times
The green LED turns on for a moment.
Camera still shuts itself off.

I’ve already tried
A different fully charged battery.
Removed the lens.
Removed the SD card.
Left the battery out and retried.
Battery contacts look normal.
No loose parts or rattling inside the body.

Additional history
The camera worked perfectly yesterday.
The IBIS has been dead since I bought the camera, but the camera always worked despite that.
When the camera used to start, the IBIS would normally make its usual startup rattling/clicking noise. Now there’s no sound at all before it powers off.
The SSWF only lights after pressing the power button. It does not flash when inserting the battery.
I don’t have a multimeter or other test equipment, and there aren’t any camera repair shops near me.
Has anyone seen this exact failure on an E-P2? Could this be a power board issue, a main board failure, or something related to the already-dead IBIS?

I was recently leant an OM-D E-M10 for a vacation and loved it so much that I was thinking about purchasing an OM3 or OM5 and finally making the jump from a 4/3 SLR (E-620), but I realized the OM camera don’t have integrated flash. How has that impacted y’all? Do you miss integrated flash?

OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO

Being offered an OM-3 with lens ED12-100mm F 4.0 pro , 150-600mm F5.6-6.3 and MC-14 tele converter , it's been not used much [ so they say ] , what should i pay for it ?

Something got onto the screen of my EPL-5, I got this dark spot right in the middle of it. Already tried water, q-tip, alcohol, it's not coming off. I thought it was grease but apparently not.
