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.

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
