How does that work Paul, I always thought that unles the lens was broken down and thoroughly cleaned it was basically toast.

Thanks for the insight Jeff, I must admit I was surprised by how well lightroom denoise coped with a couple of images, about 15 seconds seems to be average to denoise one of my images, I have no idea if that's good or poor.

A question for thoise who know better than me (which is probably everyone to be fair) I have only ever used Lightroom for editing my images. I have just bought an OM-1 to have a play with. Is there a better editor out there for orf files? I'm reluctant to spend a lot of time learning a whole new...

More money to be made by erecting a scaffold, simple as that.

Hi Trev, yes got it back last week, they replaced the sensor and now all is good.

Caveat Emptor as they say, I'll stick to more mainstream dealers in future. ;)

Had an email from DHL today, the camera will be back with me on Friday, happy days.

Hi Jeff, yes Olympus have quoted £217 for the repair so I have accepted and paid for that and the retailer has carried out a partial refund to the same value via ebay so a reasonably satisfactory outcome but it has been a struggle. I have said before in this thread, lesson learned although I...

Interesting link, many thanks.

I should also say that this is the first time I've ever been cought out by something like this, I shall still continue to buy my stuff from discount retailers, just bought a Nikon Z5 from E-Infinity for example, delivered in good time with no issues, I will however leave ebay alone for higher...

I'm waiting for Olympus to quote for the repair and then I can decide if its worth it or not, persuing it through trading standards is an option, or the small claims court maybe. An alternative is to just say fu*k it, get the camera back and live with the mark, it took a few weeks for me to...

I received a response today from Olympus, see below. Dear Customer, Thank you for your message and document sent. After our analysis and unfortunately, we cannot consider as valid invoice. This was sold outside the authorized distribution channels, which frequently occurs when the price of...

Indeed, an email this afternoon asking for proof of warranty. That got me scratching my head, I supplied a copy of the receipt in the box with the camera that shows the purchase date, so I responded and enclosed a screen shot of my confirmation email from Olympus regarding registration and the...
