A massive thank you to Garry for his time and knowledge, it is much appreciated. Thank you Andy.

I would love to take you up on the offer of a meet up Gary, if it is still available?. Hopefully we can work something out that is suitable for you. Cheers Andy.

Let you know shortly Gary, many thanks, just had a problem arise at home. So not being ignorant, just got to sort this out. cheers Andy

Thanks Garry, no need for politeness, I am a "spade is a spade" type of guy, I prefer people to be open and honest rather than tell someone what they think they want to hear. I live in Low Moor, Bradford, my mobility is ok, it is just things that have happened that tend to keep me indoors. We...

Thank you so much for the offer, but as of yet I am unsure which way to go, or what to do lol.

Well I have just been forbidden, under any circumstances, from getting rid of any of my gear (which is not a lot), and have been discussing the costs of bodies and lenses with "she who must be obeyed" . The problem now is what to do lol, I have a (what I believe is a dying) Olympus EM10ii and 2...

Thanks Garry, The biggest problem for me at least , is the fact that I don't go out, I very rarely leave the house. So the garden is almost like my safe space lol. The down side of not going out is the lack of photo opportunities, hence my interest in macro, it seems there is always something...

I have extension tubes and a Raynox 150, This was using both tubes and the Raynox, taken at 105mm on the 40-150, ok shot just not enough magnification. Whereas the 2nd shot was taken by a member on another with the Olympus 60mm macro lens, and shows the difference between what I am able to do...

Thanks for the encouragement I appreciate it.

Just me, I keep tying to get good close up shots with what I have, and to be fair some of them are half decent, but just not enough magnification, and the Oly 60 macro is way out of my price range. Same with the birds in the garden, for 3 years i have tried moving the bird feeder closer to the...

As the title says, I would just like to say a big thank you to all for the help and advice that I have received over the last 3 years, but now is the time to end my journey in photography. I have enjoyed the the 3 years I have had taking photo's, some good most blah, and quite a few wtf happened...

Thanks Hanley, just found it a bit strange that all the MFT gear has disappeared from ther site.

Just been on the Cotswold UK website looking for the price of the Olympus 60mm macro lens, but they only have 1 mft lens listed (Laowa 6mm ) and no Olympus cameras at all??. I thought it must be my browser or something, so I checked lenses for Canon and there are plenty showing lol. Is this the...

Just put the battery back in and tried to take a shot, just got the exact same thing again lol, so waited 5 minutes then tried with a different lens and all seemed ok,?? Whether it was the lens that was the problem I don't know, but I wont be using it again on this body, sticking to Olympus...

Hi all, I hope this does not sound stupid. I was taking a few pics today when I got a problem, I took a picture and the camera just had a black screen and made a whirring sound, like the focus motor just going round and round ??. I turned the camera off and back on, but still have the black...
