If you are with your E-M5 Mark II, then stay with it. The E-M45 Mrk2 made good photos last week. It will make good photos next week. If there is a feature in the upgrade you think is essential, ...

Compared to 24X36 it has the DoF of f5.6, but in terms of exposure it's a f2.8 lens. Dig out your handheld meter (or borrow one if you don't own one). Set up a FF camera and M4:3 side by side. Use ...

With my E-M1 Mark II chargers, if a battery isn't seated properly incorrectly it blinks green. Blinking orange indicates it's charging.

M4:3 users have Olympus' excellent 40-150mm f2.8 Pro zoom. It's the equivalent of an 80-300 f2.8 in FF terms, it's smaller, lighter, less expensive and weather sealed. I would take it over one of ...

Bodies I own: 2X - E-M1 Mark II 1X - Pen F Bodies I've owned and sold GF-1 (into to M4:3) GX-1 EP-5 (intro to Olympus and IBIS) E-M5 Mark II

I have the Hoage grip for my Pen F , purchased from Amazon. I like it a lot. Makes the camera more comfortable to use with large lenses, like the Pro zooms or even the f1.2 Pro primes. I don't use ...

I don't think there's one answer for this. It depends on the photographer, the lens, and the circumstances. None of my lenses have built in IS. Using my small primes (12mm f2) and E-M1 Mk2, I can ...

Everybody has a different experience with their equipment. With a single exception, I've found my Olympus gear to be very reliable. The exception was when I had E-P5s and the well documented issue ...

I have both the 17mm f1.8 and the 17mm f1.2. I used the 1.8 for years and I liked it a lot. It's small, I thought it was sharp, and it perfectly fit the M4:3 ethos. I bought the 1.2 two weeks ago, ...

The E-M1 Mark II is an amazing body and FW3 raised it to another level. I have both the Pen F and the E-M1 Mark II. The Pen F is fun, I like it a lot, but when I have to get the work done, the ...

The Tenba Reload Battery Pouch works well. Tenba makes a 1 battery pouch or a 2 battery pouch. (Think Tank makes a similar product but it is a little too small to hold the BLH-1 batteries.) https:/ ...

You don't say which M4/3 body you're using, and that could factor into the decision. I use the E-M1 Mark II. I flirted with moving to the X-T3 but ultimately ruled it out because: 1) The ...

Best practice is to write them down AND save them to your computer hard drive. Most practical is to just save them to your computer.

I have a couple of USB chargers I use for travel (one for my BLH-1 batteries, one for BLN-1 batteries). They work well for my purposes and I like them. But if you want to stay with Oly chargers ...

I have the Hoage grip and like it a lot. It's a dead ringer for the Oly grip.

I thought the video was very good but I thought the part about the meter was a little confusing. I always carry a light meter but I only use it when I'm working in the manual mode. I usually set ...

Works fine with an iPhone running a current OS.

Most cameras ship with the default color space set to sRGB output. That's why all the cameras you've tested the software with show sRGB color space. But most cameras allow you to select a color ...

"Horrible" is a bit strong. I think single shot AF is excellent and I've always used S-AF for about 85% of my photography. On my Pen F, it's fast and very reliable. C-AF, on the other hand, is not ...

Updated two bodies with no problems. It reloads settings during the last step of the update process.
