Sydney Daily Random Discussion Thread 13/04/2026

I currently use an Olympus OMD E-M5 MkII, and I've managed to bring the telephoto lens with me to some sporting events/stadiums because it's just so compact, lol. Sometimes I think about moving to the Canon R or Sony Alpha system, but I'm too embedded in the Olympus/OM ecosystem to really want to ch

Another potential convert

The "kit" lens for om-3 is actually stupidly good. It's one of the sharpest zooms on the system and it does it all wide open at f4. It's great for semi-macro too since it can focus pretty close. It's also light, small and weather sealed.

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

Help me save money?

Hey I have an OM3 and it was my first camera in the MFT ecosystem. Paired it with the excellent 12-40 f2.8 for really good weather sealing. I've been out in really heavy snow storms in Canada and Scandinavian rain without issues. Added the 40-150 f2.8 for action and now I'm looking at the 60mm macro

Buy new lenses, or replace?

Hi, me again :) (i'm even more in M43) 1- The weather resistant bodies are not the lightest or the cheapest. On the lighter side, the best is the OM-3 and the best value the Lumix G95/G95D/G97 . 2- There are plenty of good M43 lenses in M43, new or used. It's a vast system but... ... the wr lenses a

Electronics weight for a 3-day trip (filming)

Longterm, shifting over to an a7CII and a 35 prime like the Sigma 35 f/2 DG would save considerable weight. You'd save even more weight by shifting systems to something like m4/3. The OM System OM-3 with their 17.5mm f/1.8 II would be a featherweight setup compared to your current rig, and have bett

Olympus or Fujifilm for Travel and Nature Photography

For context, I have experience with both systems. I started photography last year with an Olympus E-M1, and eventually switched to a Fujifilm X-T3 which is a significantly better camera. But likewise, I've enjoyed my experiences with both systems. I really enjoyed Fujifilm because of the Film Recipe
