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

Stunning set Pete
 
What better way to ' kick start ' your waning interest in photography than buy a new camera ? well in my case as I long time user of Panasonic M 4/3rds I am awaiting delivery of the OM Systems OM-5 mk ii + 12-45 f4 Pro lens.

I am a long time user of DXO Photolab to convert my raw files, in my instance I am using Photolab version 3 which is pretty dated and will not work with the OM-5 mkii ORF files.

So do I purchase the latest version of Photolab at a cost of £220.00. :oops: :$ I have tried a trial version of DXO's Pure Raw which I cannot get to run on my 'elderly' Windows 10 PC.

What do other 'Olympus family' owners use to convert their raw files ? is the free OM Workspace viable ? I cannot trial it until I receive the OM-5 as I need a valid serial number.

Your opinions appreciated.
 
lightroom classic and photoshop ,constant updates works a treat

A perfect combination of camera and lens - my most-used setup.

For me, it's Lightroom Classic (desktop) all the way.
 
I use On1 PhotoRaw2026.4 for processing and OM Workspace to see how far I was from the subject with the focus point.
It does not always show the focus point, but I reckon that's when I'm not had the bbf button pressed. i.e focus and recomposed.
 
So sad days for me my SFN has declined so much that my bird photography won't be continuing
I am trading in my big beautiful EM1-X and stellar larger lenses 12-45 , 25f1.2,my favourite 100-400 ver1
So no bird photography for me.
I will post from my little Olympus omd em10 markii and 17mm f1.8, 45mm f1.8 and 60mm macro

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can continue with the smaller setup
 
Just a heads up, I’ve posted a new post in the wanted section. I’m looking for an OM 12-45 f4. If anyone is looking to sell theirs, let me know.

Thanks it's an insidious creeping condition. Absolutely horrendous that robs you of anything. Driving. Owning a boat. Sleep. Gastro problems. Some days I cannot go out

Sorry to hear this mark , have you considered part exchanging for a decent bridge camera something like a Sony rx10iv or the new mkv version or something similar
 
I have just bought a pen f and must say, I love it. It does have the old Olympus menu system, but as long as you only set up what you want and/or need it’s a lovely camera to carry around. Light and responsive, I do have the 12-40 lens, but bought the pancake 14-42 and have just ordered the [jjc?] automatic lens cap for it, which makes the whole set up an excellent every day camera. Still a bit expensive for a 10 year old camera, but I am really pleased with it. Complements my OM system and larger lenses.
