View: https://flic.kr/p/2pMUtX1 View: https://flic.kr/p/2pMMGY2 Some first attempts at infrared photography using a Hoya R72 IR filter on the Olympus 12-45mm f4 pro.

View: https://flic.kr/p/2pMTcWZ View: https://flic.kr/p/2pMUoC3 The low down angle does offer an interesting perspective, although it did make it difficult to check focus, even with the flip out screen

Mine only stands at 5.5 inches high. Probably 7 inches when the legs are folded down. I can’t adjust the height, or even take photos in portrait mode. Still handy to have and was surprised it took the weight of the e-m1 ii with the 12-45mm on it. But if I were to take landscape photography a bit...

View: https://flic.kr/p/2pMTBZ9 More photos to sort through, but here’s one from my e-m1 ii using an nd 1000 filter on the 12-45mm. One thing I’ve learnt is that I need a bigger, better tripod. Although I was at Derwent Water yesterday and I think managed to take some shots at 2.5 seconds...

After a bit of experimenting this week, I’m leaning towards Olympus and getting rid of the Fuji gear. The Olympus is the camera I lean towards picking up more than the Fuji. My landscape photography leaves a lot to be desired though. It doesn’t help having to take care of a needy dog and cater...

Was a polariser used for this shot? Only filters a I have for my 10-24 is a uv and an nd1000. I’d never even thought of handhelds shots

That’s very sharp too. I think I’d side with camp Olympus over Fuji if they (or rather OM System) re-released the small f1.8 and 12mm f2 primes as weather sealed. I’m trying to justify not having two systems, but the truth is I just like my toys too much.

I really appreciate the input on this thread everyone. Thanks. I made a mistake of recently falling in love with xf 16mm f2.8. Was thinking of pairing it with a weather sealed x-t model. Interesting to hear about Fuji not resolving foliage very well. I wasn’t aware of that. I’ll still see what...

Thanks. Could you please elaborate on your reason as to why? I’m still on the fence about one system over the other. I was thinking Fujifilm will offer the better dynamic range of the two. But I’d like to have input from both sides of this debate. Is your choice of m4/3 over Fujifilm camera...

I think I’ll manage to fit both and this trip might be the decider as to which system gets sold off

True. An x-t2 was a consideration before I got the e-m1 ii. You’re absolutely right. I should experiment with both and see what best fits my needs. I worry too much about the gear than actually taking photos

The thought crossed my mind before I ended up purchasing the Oly camera last week on what I thought might be a low ball offer. I realise the two lenses are very different ranges which is what makes the decision tricky. In an ideal world I'd have an x-t5 with the 10-24mm wr, but I have to limit...

I recently purchased an Olympus E-M1 ii from classifieds on this site to have a fully weather sealed kit along with my Olympus 12-45mm f4 Pro lens. Mainly because I'll be embarking on a trip to Scotland. But, I also have a Fujifilm X-E2 with an XF 10-24mm f4 (non-weather-sealed version). I also...

has anyone had experience of using the handheld live nd feature found in the e-m1 iii or o-m5? Are there any cons compared to using filters? Would anyone consider that reason alone enough to upgrade?
