It probably was you, as I recall the USB charger came from a UK site. I suspect it will probably work on many powerbank/USB chargers, providing they put out 2 amps. The older chargers that put out ...

Well day 1 of the faire just happened. Now, going into the faire, I was more disorganized than normal. After the discussion, I figured that 5 batteries was cutting it a little close, so I put ...

While I have mostly moved over to micro 4/3rds, I am recording at a small renaissance faire ( http://www.silverkingdomfestival.com/ ) this weekend. Now normally, this would not be a problem, I ...

I haven't read all of the replies, but here is my take. I have the Panasonic 20mm and it is a decent lens.  As people have mentioned, it is slow and noisy at auto-focusing.  And the 20mm had a ...

Yeah, you are right.  I was thinking of the MF-2.

It depends on the size of your pockets. In terms of current Olympus cameras, look into the Pen-F. Well the older Pen's (E-P2 through E-PL6) had an accessory port that you can use the VF-2/VF-3/VF-4 ...

Nit picking.  The MMF-1 adapter is for the OM lenses from the film cameras.  The MMF-2 adapter is the adapter you are thinking of.  If you don't need weather sealing, and you aren't going to use ...

I don't know if you are looking for a cage for the G85 or whether there is a local importer for smallrig products. If you are, smallrig makes a G85 specific cage that I just picked up. It is ...

Yeah, I'm going to do 12 hours of video this weekend (6 hours/day), and I've come to the conclusion that the 5 batteries I own (Panasonic, Promaster, and 3 Watson) would be tight, so I've rigged ...

If you don't like paying $30 + s/h for a cable, you can get a clone cable for $5 from ebay from a US shipper: (1) http://www.ebay.com/itm/CB-USB6-CB-USB5-USB-Data-Cable-for-Olympus-Stylus-700-D435-D-59 ...

Sure, the point of the exercise is validate that the focal length is what you want and that you can do manual focusing and have the pictures sharp enough for your taste. Just to be sure, look at ...

For me a big issue is that the E-5 did live view focusing on the LCD in decent time. The E-3 had live view, but it did not do auto focus using the main sensor. Instead you had to use back button ...

One thing to do is set your current lens to manual focus, set the focal length to the length you want to buy and practice focusing before plonking down the money for a manual prime.  That way you ...

Note, this particular charger is for the BLS-1/5/52 batteries used in most of the Pen cameras and the E-m10. This charger is made for the BLH-1 battery used in the E-m1 mark II: (1) https://www.amazon. ...

The C-8080WZ was one of the last C-* cameras, and it was introduced around the time the E-1 and the new FL-36/50 flashes were introduced.  I had the C-8080WZ briefly, and with the 78 firmware ...

The flash is probably emulating the FL-40 flash (from the C-* and E-10/E-20 cameras).  I thought the E-1 was the last camera to support the FL-40, but perhaps the E-300 was.  I had a Promaster ...

It should work if the flash is directly connected to the camera via the hot-shoe or via an appropriate off camera cable. I believe the flash is old enough that it was made for the Olympus DSLRs and ...

Ummm, for the E-M5 mark II, isn't the menu map in the manual on pages 152-158? You do have to realize the first level of the menu is encoded in the first column.

Ok.  DPR did not list in the feature search, unless it is like the Olympus E-m5 mark II, which does not have a headphone jack on the body, but the HLD-8 battery grip has a jack.

There are subtle differences, IMHO.  They might not matter to you, but for me, if I'm shooting stills, the Olympus camera is typically the one I pick (though note, I typically do carry both, and ...
