Olympus OM-D E-M5, E-M1, E-M10 - Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 Owners Thread

Going to have to call if a day on the palm rest idea.
Been a while since I tried anything like this and after about 30 minutes with a jigsaw and dermal, the arthritis in my fingers in pretty bad, worse than I have had for a while.
 
Need advice on a repair please chaps.

Having lunch in a lovely old pub in Cirencester yesterday and my camera bag fell off the seat onto a carpeted floor.

Didn't think anything of, just picked it up again.

Unfortunately my 2-40 f2.8 PRO lens mount now has a boo boo. Yes it was attached to my EM1X body at the time - not a mistake I'll make again.

Any idea where to send for a quote / fixed price repair please?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I see there's a 12-45 F4 PRO lens in the classifieds.

Not sure if i Just go for that but having just bought a 9 grand kitchen last week money's not exactly easy to come by at the moment.

Terry.
 
A J Johnston in Glasgow have a good reputation and repair Olympus stuff. I have not used them
 
I’ll second that Terry. , a.j. Do the warranty repairs for all the grey Import gear
 
J Johnston have estimated £280 + VAT.

I can get a new MK2 version from HDEW for not a lot more.

b****r.
Advertise it for spares or repair?
 
You could try the Olympus repair facility,think they do fixed price repairs worth getting a quote ,if not HDEW or COTSWOLDS
 
Just back from a weekend in scotland. Weather wasnt what i hoped for this time of year but did get the moth light out once and got this Scarce Prominent which was a new species for me. OM1 +90mm macro (and godox v350 with AK diffuser). This was a 25 shot handheld stack put together in Helicon.
I recently watched a lad on youtube who does macro and he was saying about slabbing with zerene to try and get around the halo problems. If anyone is looking at it stacking I would say it is far quicker and easier to use helicon and the B C B stacking method to get the same if not better results IMO.

No Macro. I almost always have the 150-400mm Pro. and use the 1.25TC for a close up shot. Finished in Lightroom...:)
 
On last week's small-ship cruise. OM5ii and Leica 9mm (Mrs L wasn’t crew - she just pinched one of their life jackets)

Very nice.

I didn’t realise you had kept your Olympus kit Jeff. I thought you had moved over to Nikon completely.

Got my mk2 100-400 this week, just waiting for a slightly cooler day to pop out with it.
Yeah once I bought the 100-400 mkii I sold my 300mm f4 as the mkii ticks all the boxes . Got a few hundred shots with it this week just need time to process them all
