Been looking at all the hoopla over the new Fuji X100V, and it sure does look like a very nice camera. 40mp APS-C sensor, 6K and 4K video, IBIS etc. However at £1500 and a probably wait of 6 months to a year to get hold of one, I decided to give it a miss.
I was then trawling the internet and found a very tidy Olympus Pen-F in silver, with absolutely everything it came with (all boxes and sleeves, manuals, Flash, cables, neck strap, genuine charger and 4 genuine Olympus BLN-1 batteries. The body has a couple of small marks (unsurprising for a camera of this age - I prefer to call them battle scars)), but only has 12,000 shutter activations. I made a cheeky offer, and it's now in my hands for the princely sum of £420 (a bit of an impulse purchase) !
I know the Pen-F is older technology, has "only" a 20mp sensor, isn't APS-C, doesn't have fantastic AF-C and tracking performance, and only shoots video in 1080p (that's a real shame), but it does have great build quality, a decent EVF, tiny external flash, Olympus's legendary IBIS and a full suit of colour and B&W controls. I've been meaning to get hold of one of these for several years now, but they were always a bit too expensive. Well, I now own one and I've coupled it with my Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm F1.8, to make a pseudo X100 copy (probably more like an X100T than the new VI, but at a fraction of the price. Let's bring the fun back into photography.
Absolutely beautiful portrait of a lovely dog really mis my GSD these days
.... Hear! Hear! . The Mk2 OM-1 certainly has some improvements but not worth changing from a Mk1 if you already have one.Sorry but what a lot of whining about upgrades, just don’t buy them l say. Most companies are marketing masters but Om system it seems to have tried to offer something not really needed and classed it as a mkII. You good people have seen through this but many won’t and lots of money will be made.
l think it is more of getting the Olympus name off the product than anything else.
It wouldn't surprise me Robin if they bring out the 150-400 mkii to get the Olympus name off that lens too in the near future..... Hear! Hear! . The Mk2 OM-1 certainly has some improvements but not worth changing from a Mk1 if you already have one.
Regardless of how good photographers the OMD Ambassadors are, their waxing lyrical about the Mk2 shows just how their words in most cases should be taken with a large pinch of salt.
.... I thought they already had OMD badged their later productions of the 150-400mm. I was a very early adopter and so mine proudly bears the Olympus name.It wouldn't surprise me Robin if they bring out the 150-400 mkii to get the Olympus name off that lens too in the near future.
wOw beautiful…!!
Mine has OM on it already.It wouldn't surprise me Robin if they bring out the 150-400 mkii to get the Olympus name off that lens too in the near future.

Brilliant. Super in every way. Great presentation Jeff.
Em1 mark ii does cool macro multishot things with that lens, I think including in-camera stacking. I always stacked in PS.Looking for some info and help.I am a Canon user and hoping to get into macro photography using photo stacking with flash .I have heard that Olympus are good at this.I have aquired the 60mm macro lens from a friend.He swears by his OM1,but is there anything slightly cheaper.I will still be keeping the Canon stuff but hope to buy used.
