Ahhh. I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a new X1, and was looking for some genuine user feedback ! I might try the general gossip thread.

Looked at the CAF sensitivity yesterday on my camera, it was set at 1+. Changed it now to 2+ so next time out. I will see if it makes a difference.
Both photos are showing up for me...
First one is shown an box with a red x through it for me
What browser are you using? I'm using Google Chrome Version 72.0.3626.121 (64-bit); it may be down to that.
hmm, it's not showing the photo for me. Just the box with the red cross.
I'll try this way,
Same happened to me earlier, looked as if the images didn't post correctly but others could see them. I can see both here, and a cracking Robin shot it is I agree on the Sigma 60 2.8, it might well be one of the best bang for buck lenses for the system, extremely sharp. I just wasn't using it enough, but wouldn't cancel out buying another.
I could have put the 30mm macro lens on and took photos of that robin. It sat there for a good few minutes singing and eating out my hand
We had a pair of them frequent the garden up until last year, sadly they haven't been around this winter/spring, I hope our moggy hasn't disposed of them! The male in particular was very braisen, would come right up by me on the garden table
Sir. Robin by K G, on Flickr
That was April last year, hopefully he'll show up again, I have started to put out some feed again. I stopped for a while as the cats were killing too many birds - one of them is now gone so the birds have half a chance
I know this is an Olympus thread but I have to show you this
This was 2017. I had the same in 2018 and a new one this year all taking from my hand.
Would my EM10 mk2 be any good for capturing this kind of thing?..... An Olympus question
That's really cool! I might try that if they do come back. I found that if I was in the garden long enough they would get braver every 20mins or so. I do have a shot somewhere taken with a 25mm, right up close like yours, but for some reason I never put it up on Flickr, can't actually find it atm so the one I posted above was the next closest. That is a Panasonic image btw I gave up worrying on that, always thought there should have been one mega M43 thread instead of separating them.
I’ll try and get a photo or a video of the latest robin with my Olympus later. I haven’t taken any shots of the latesr one as it because the norm.
For the first time it looks like we are going to blue tits nesting in the garden. This is were the silent mode on the em10 mk2 will come into play. All I have to find now is a cordless remote for the camera
I haven't tried the app. Time to investigate
Really handy, isn't hard to set up and once you use it you'll not bother with a separate remote again! After all, we always have our phone with us. Having the live view is great, I've had mine set up outside [camera on tripod aimed at feeders] and was able to keep an eye on the action from another room while watching tv it'll drop connection at times which is a pin as you have to go re-connect to the camera, but when it's working well it's great. I can't remember much about the Olympus app but did use it when I had the em51
Just put it on my ipad to start with. It's very cool . When the blue tit is nesting properly I can stick my camera on a tripod with a zoom and.... click.... on silent mode
At first glance I can't see a movie record button. Is there one on there?
Fantastic... think you're going to have to change your TP name to Snow WhiteI know this is an Olympus thread but I have to show you this

Love it. I was once tempted by that camera.. ended up buying a Pen F and trying not to look at any more cameras now... ever...This was yesterday with a Panasonic LX15......... I'll go and get my Snow White outfit
This years friendly Robin,

I recently returned back to M43 after years of just using a Sony RX100. I've got enough coverage from zooms but I'm looking for that one prime as the generic 'standard prime'. I used M43 from back in the Panasonic g3 era, so I've had both the 20mm 1.7 and the PanaLeica 25mm. The 20mm 1.7 is tempting due to the price but I just can't get on with that focal length, its too inbetween wide and standard for me and the PanaLeica is expensive and my copy wasn't that great.
As I've picked up an Olympus camera this time, I've been thinking the Oly 25mm 1.8 is the logical choice. Is anyone here using it? How'd you find it? I see a lot of reviews online calling it a very average lens. I've also been thinking about the Sigma 30mm 2.8 (I had the 60mm years ago and it was my sharpest prime). Any Sigma 30mm users on here?
There are just so many options for primes in this focal range!
Thanks, Chris.
The Sigma primes are very good, I also had the 60mm 2.8 and it was as sharp as you like. David Thorpe showed up out of the blue with a video today on the Sigma 1.4 variants, might whet your appetite - he mentions the Sigma 30mm in the beginning [he is using Panasonic but the vid applies as much to Olympus]
My most used lens is the Olympus 17mm f1.8. I just love it. The manual clutch is great and it’s super portable.There are just so many options for primes in this focal range!
Thanks, Chris.
