I sent a manifesto to OM SYSTEM Japan, and the head of customer service sent back a surprisingly emotional reply.
silver-finished lenses to match the retro aesthetic. I dont personally get this one, all the original analog lenses from the om-zuiko series are black. Im one of those who bought a om-3 to match my analog om-1 (and Im using the old lenses with a converter) and the silver lenses are not for me, I wou

Would you stick with MFTeven if you got enough money to get a high end FF kit?
I have enough money to buy a full frame. Sometimes I consider it. Nikons retro styld camera is pretty tempting. But I am really happy with my OM-3. Better to just save the money and use my camera.

First leaked image of the new OM-5II
I truly hope—pray, even—that OM System’s next release won’t just be another rehash like the OM-1 Mark II. That camera, while fine on paper, was essentially a software update sold at full price, and it left many of us deeply disillusioned. I’m starting to lose hope in the brand. I’ve been using the E

Is M43 Really That Rare? (Discussion)
I have been going on photowalks in Seattle area for past couple of years and I always see a bunch of m43 cameras in there. I think most people there do have a second or third system (FF or APSC) but since photowalks are casual and mostly focused on street photography, many people prefer to bring the

OM-1 Mark II vs OM-3 for street/hiking (coming from E-M5 III + 12-100)
I have both and I'm about to offload the OM-3 as I just can't get a comfortable grip on it. I've tried the SmallRig grips and a half case and neither really work for me. The issue is the Colour Dial on the front. It just sits in the wrong place for my fingers. The grip is slightly smaller than the h

OM System Now Majority Owned By Former Olympus Camera Division Lead
Olympus Corporation won't allow it. OM System is actually a historic name brand that was chosen for its heritage. But yes, it isn't as iconic as the unavailable Olympus brand name.

OM-3 or A6700 for travel?
highly recommending shooting both. I can only speak to the om-3 and have nothing but praise. I also own a couple if new Fuji’s and a Leica q3, and the OM-3 shooting experience far surpasses these cameras.

Is there anyone who has used both Sony and Olympus cameras?
I’ve had Fuji, Sony FF, APSC as well as Olympus/om cameras which I currently use. For me I really enjoy the lighter weight, ergonomics, ruggedness of OM and the quality of the output is completely acceptable for what I do with the cameras. The downside of m43 being MUCH less actively developed in th

APS-C for macro?
I'll start this off by clarifying I only have experience with Sony & Olympus / OM systems. I've tried to use the Sony A6700 and the Sony 90mm for handheld insect macro photography and eventually gave up. The sensor readout time and buffer were too slow for my style of photography. I ended up going w

Titanium Cameras (Leica M6, Nikon FM2T)
Or the OM-3 Ti, but that’s a collectors camera.
