Creative dial--there must be a better way...

I love that you're finding recipes on https://om-recipes.com. Once you get your teal and orange dialed in, share it back! I'd love to see it. I feel the same confusion. There are so many options, but none seem perfect. I think it's helpful to pick a recipe and stick with it for an outing or a day or

Beginner: How should I split my budget between camera body and lenses to be future-proof?

Two years ago, I had a little extra money that was for me and me alone. I could spend it on me and no one would be mad. I went and bought a camera everyone wanted at the time (Fujifilm X100VI) and immediately sold it back because I just didn't like being stuck with only one focal length. Though I'd

Help me save money?

There are some real ergonomic differences between the OM-5 (both versions) and the OM-3 that may be impactful for you. The retro look of the 3 looks cool, but does have an impact on handling and use of the camera compared to the 5 (or the OM-1). I have an OM-5 and am happy with it, but was strongly

Grand Canyon Backpacking With OM-3

Do you find the colors accurate on the sandstone with the OM-3? My OM-5 ii really nails the sandstone color (or any color) out of camera. I want to upgrade to the OM-3 for the quick access features.

Coming from "smartphone photography" – is MFT a good starting point?

M4:3 is good for size and weight. If you buy lenses on the used market, you can find some spectacular lenses and pay very little money. The features on any given camera tend to be a high value for your dollar. They're also budget friendly for what you pay on the new and used market.. I shoot everyth

Should I get an OM3 or x100vi or…?

With that glass lineup I think you will definitely regret leaving M43... If you use Lightroom check out George Holden's film recipies... Has a full list of Fuji and Kodak so while it's not in camera you still get them after the fact. If you haven't tried LR Mobile definitely do, they work in that as

Should I get an OM3 or x100vi or…?

I’m a few days into my ownership of an OM3. It’s my first M43 camera and I’m thoroughly impressed. I mostly shot Fuji since 2016 until I moved to a Nikon ZF a few years back. I had the X100VI and thankfully was able to flip it for no loss after a month. The AF on the X100VI, while better for Fuji st

Olympus Om-3 worth it or should I go full frame?

I'm in almost the exact same position you were. I am curious if you're still happy with your decision to get the S5ii now that it's been a while? I'm mostly considering the OM-3, S5ii, and X-T5. Also not much interested in Canon at this point. I looked at Sony's line but I think I want something wit
