OM-5

Senior Vice President Tazuhiro Togashi and Director of Product Planning Hiroki Koyama Not exactly "OM Reps". That suggests some low grade Marketoid. These "dudes" are "nosebleeder" - called that because they are so high up in the company, the thin air up there could cause nosebleeds. So these statem

Right, as a fellow Sony 20-70 f/4 owner and M43 shooter, let me share my thoughts… I own the Sony A7C (so, a step up from your A7II) along with the 20-70 f/4, plus a few other lenses. I also have an OM-5 paired with the 12-45 f/4 Pro. When I bought the Sony 20-70 f/4, my intention was to replace the

Stuff like in-camera focus stacking, in camera ND filters and starry sky AF to name a couple. Compared to the Z7ii full frame I had, I liken my little OM-5i to a high tech little Jeep. It

First check out Justin Mott on YouTube he is a pro with extensive time with Leicas but always uses Sony for client paid work. https://www.youtube.com/@AskMOTT/videos I’d recommend renting a Sony A1 with a 16-35mm GM and then maybe a 85mm for portraits. As a super light backup camera the Olympus OM5
