Optical1

Price reduced to $425.

Maybe there aren't any instructions available??? Let's change the question: Has anyone attempted to convert an E-PM1 with success?  Any suggestions? Thanks, Kiel

Price?

All, I've decided to take the plunge into DIY IR conversion with my old E-PM1, and I'm looking for some instructions on this particular model.  I've scoured the net, and I've found instructions for...

Purchased from GetOlympus.com and changed my mind after the return window closed.  New in box.  Reciept can be provided.  $449 firm shipped and paypal'd in the CONUS.  3% discount if buyer sends...

When your trip is over, I'd be happy to take your 7-14 off your hands! I would stick with your zooms for the most part.  I would suggest the 40-150 merely due to size and weight.  If you have the...

of these two options I would prefer a smaller LCD.  2.3" would be about the right size I believe. I would actually like to see some manufacturer try this option.  Understandably, this would be a...

While the physics of diffusing the light to cover a FF image circle would be possible, and the field of view would remain the same, you would need to ignore the physical impossibility of mounting...

If the size of the camera were appreciably smaller than the X100 with a similar formfactor, 35mm lens and integrated EVF, I would be at the front of the line.

Very cool.  How do you stitch a 360x180 together like this?

Update:  My travel kit has grown E-M5 Oly 14-150mm (for those times when changing lenses just isn't possible/plausible) Oly 9-18mm (for tight streets this lens can't be beat due to range from UWA...

This lens, and superzooms in general, are consistently overlooked by many.  I will not argue that any superzoom has better optics than a prime, or other 2-3x zooms, but the notion that they are...

Well, that's good.  It's still nothing more than a repackaged lens with 'zero' coatings.  Likely was the key word there.  No matter what, the reduced price is a good thing.

Wrong.  The Mk 2 is simply a repackaged lens, with 'zero' coatings, and likely made in China rather than Japan to cut costs. Chatokun hit the nail on the head.  The difference is the sensor behind...

Where did you find a black model for only 'a little bit more'?

Nobody is going to lay a finger on my camera...nobody!

It's also 19mm, not 17mm...

While I agree that the E-PM2 has the IQ to be a great backup, the fact that I have to carry another charger and set of batteries drives me nuts.  I don't understand why the newer PEN's don't have...
