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...

I lost my temper with the freezer lol, so hit it with a big hammer, seems to be working fine at the minute lmao. I hope it was just a sticking fan, that is now unstuck. I want some better lenses not more darn bills. I don,t trust this 14-42 EZ, I already replaced it once, due to it coming with...

All back together lol, ordered a new door from China on Monday, arrived today, snug fit but works ok as does the camera again.

New door ordered, lets hope it fits ok lol, getting it from China ( Aliexpress) for £14 including vat. I looked on Ebay and Amazon but they wanted double and treble the price.

Sorry for the rant, but I get freaked out real quick. (part of my illness lol) Anyway for now I have screwed the ECG-3 grip on to stop anything finding its way inside.

Thanks for the heads up, I did not know they just snapped into place lol, as the hinge is fine I will look at getting another door. Hope they don't cost to much.

Well now I really do want to give up. Just went to use the EM10ii and this happens, just had enough of stuff going against anything I want to or enjoy doing. Looked at camera stuff this week, and now the freezer is now waiting for the repair man to see if it can be saved. When do you say enough...

That fills me with confidence lol, now I am even less sure what to do, or which way to turn. I have an Olympus EM1 mki, that has stared playing up a little, ( black screen when turned on, also on the occasional image it is just black lol). I was looking at an upgrade to the mkii, but there are a...

They were full full images, just re-sized for the forum.

Thanks Phil I will bear that in mind next time. It was just that as soon as I removed the lens cap, boom there it was, like a grey cicular scratch, way inside the lens. The issue is me I think, once I saw it, and knew it was there, then it was already in my head lol. Can I ask you please, if it...

I was just trying to show the mark that is visible inside the lens (when not attached to the camera lol) with the naked eye, if I shine a torch behind the lens you can see it. Anyway I have emailed the seller some pics, and they have issued me with a returns label and form to fill in saying what...

Hi all, the used Sigma lenses I ordered arrived today. I noticed a mark on the 30mm, after a quick clean with a lens wipe, it was still there. It looks like it is inside the lens. I remember someone saying to check for marks on a sensor by shooting stopped down at the sky or light background...

Nice moody image. Not been to Saltaire for a while, it is not to far from me. Lovely image.

The 60mm macro will have to wait a while lol. I bought these as an "upgrade" from the 14-42 and 40-150 kit lenses I have, and they were, both together around the same price as a used olympus 45mm f1.7 although a bit slower. Also the price played a part, budget stuff is my only choice lol. I just...
