Fancy buying a Lumix S 5 and a couple of lenses to add to the collection then??

That’s an impressive collection. I can’t make out what camera is to the right of the GH7? This collection makes me feel like I don’t need to consider selling my full frame gear I recently picked up. I own an OM-3, a decent collection of small primes, the 12-40 f2.8 ii, the cheap 45-150mm, the...

I think it was sold at under 5,000 shutter actuations. But I’m really not that bothered about getting it working atm. I bought an OM-3 and I’m happy with that in place of a working pen f.

I contacted OM System and they flat out wouldn’t do it because it’s a discontinued model. £126 is very cheap for a repair to a pen f. I might look into it. Thanks

Nope. It’s sitting on my bookshelf just looking pretty. I did take it to a camera shop and they sent it away for it to be inspected. On inspection they said they couldn’t get the replacement parts needed to fix the camera.

Waiting on response from OM System to see if they would touch it. Although, it seems to use their repair service you need to register the camera with proof of purchase which I don’t have as I got it secondhand. I wouldn’t know where else to take it to for a a repair job. I know sometimes with...

I recently got my hands on an Olympus pen f. However, there seems to be something stuck in the card slot. I’ve tried air blowers, small dental hooks, a tooth pick and can’t get it out. It’s proper wedged in there. The money I spent on the camera has been refunded, so I’ve basically got a pen f...

I had a g6 for a couple of years and loved it. More of a prime user myself though. But the 14-140 when used with g6 was great for an all in one travel lens. And it’s light for the reach it gives you. I did upgrade to a g80 after that and appreciated the better viewfinder, IBIS and even the sound...

Glad to see it being put to good use You can thank @Fuuudge for the deal you got as he sold it to me first.

I’m personally a fan of the 35mm f2. It’s smaller, lighter, weather resistant, quicker to focus and quieter to focus. Although, I appreciate some people may prefer the rendering of the 35mm f1.4. I’ve also got a Brightin Star 35mm f0.95 for ultra shallow depth of field producing some ethereal...

What do you suppose the facial expression here is saying? I’m thinking, “what are you looking at me for?” or “I didn’t do it.”

View: https://flic.kr/p/2rA5dwk View: https://flic.kr/p/2rA5fHk Taken with a 720nm IR converted Olympus OM-D E-M5 with a lumix 14mm f2.5 attached. I hadn’t used the camera in a while and didn’t realise the date had reset itself to December 2011 when in fact these photos were taken last week.

I found out what the issue was. With lenses that have no electronic connections, not only do you have to switch focus peaking on in the menu, but you also need to assign it to a function button. Switching it on in the menu means it’ll operate for lenses with electronic contacts when in manual...
