Thanks for the suggestion, but I’ve done that too. Pulled back on the manual focus clutch to put each lens into manual mode - no difference ?

I think I may have an issue with my OM-1 (MK I) and wonder if a few of you could check something for me please on your bodies. For a little while now when in video mode I been noticing a soft but high frequency chattering loud enough to be heard coming from ( I think), the body, and enough to...

Only main thing I don't like about my RX100 VII is that Sony still use the UHS-I standard for the SD cards not the much faster UHS II, so I quite often find myself waiting for the card to finish writing before I can do anything else, but as a pocket camera to take everywhere with you, the RX100...

Maybe, I've only really had main experience with Olympus / Panasonic in Micro Four thirds mounts for anything other than FF, and as has been said, taking Micro Four thirds, you have the Olympus 12-40, 12.45, 12-100, 12-200, then the Panasonic 12-35, 12-60 etc - all starting at 24mm (equivalent) ?

Why is it that with the exception of say the 16-55 F2.8, most of the "standard" zoom lenses for the Sony E mount APS-C start at 18mm (27mm effective) and not 16mm (24mm) as their FF counterparts do ?

I've used MPB for about 10 years, but over the past 3 or 4 years or so, I've noticed that their "used" prices for mint condition equipment is either at or just below what you could buy new for, or considerably more expensive than grey - seems to be a trend with them now. For an example - a...

Once of the very first images from my new A6700. Our Daisy

Thought this might be of interest to some (maybe not :D ), but as I'm doing more and more video (as well as stills), I've been really spoiled by my Nikon Z8 and Z9 for video capabilities and AF tracking performance in Video. It's something I've been struggling with for some time on the OM-1...

OK, first of the many questions, in Sony vernacular IS XAVC HS equivalent to H265 and XAVC S - H264 please ? Also, what would be a well regarded and small (similar to the 15mm F1.4 in size) 35mm or 50mm equivalent standard lens (so I guess a 27mm and / or 35mm in APS-C focal lengths) with a...

Mentioned a few pages back that I was thinking of getting my first ever Sony MILC in the Sony A6700 for mostly video work. Well, I bit the bullet and sold off some older M43 gear (and a little Nikon DSLR gear) that I wasn't using any more, and purchased the following which arrived on Saturday...

Err..think you mean V1.6 Jeff unless you have some super secret firmware we aren’t aware of :cool:

This might be a bit controversial, so please bear with me. I'm shooting more and more video of late rather than stills, and honestly have to say that I'm less impressed with the OM-1 than I thought I'd be as a video tool. Having had pretty much all the OM cameras (EM-1, EM1 MKII, EM1, MKIII...

If the Zf had more modern controls, a touch smaller, with a nice deep hand grip an AF joystick, Twin card slots with CF Express and SD etc, then I'd be all over it............wait a minute, isn't that the fabled Z6 III ?? :ROFLMAO:

It was the wife's birthday last week so we had a day out at Llandudno's Great Orme - only took the RX100 VII and had a very rare sunshine day :D

Hi, as I don't have my OM-1 with me today, can somebody confirm something that I hadn't thought of before please ? On the Mode dial the OM-1 has 4 custom setting slots (C1-C4). My question is are these saved settings unique to if you are in photo mode or video mode, or are they shared between...
