I would buy a tele between 125mm - 150mm f2.8 (or faster) and compatible with the 1.4X teleconverter in a second.

Is it possible you inadvertently started saving photos to card 2? I haven't been able to get my iPhone and Ol Share to access images on cards in slot 2. I wrote to Olympus customer support about ...

I have both. In general, I use only primes and the Pen F is a perfect fit for primes. Especially smaller primes (i.e. smaller than the 75mm f1.8). I find the Pro zooms, which I seldom use, are a ...

Hmm. That doesn't match my experience. No matter what I do, I can't get Ol.Share to see photos on card 2. Shoot JPEGs to card 2, set playback to card 2 and Ol.Share sees only card 1. When I ...

Some of what you're asking about is sensor related (high ISO) some is not (peaking, viewfinder). I tried to avoid going above ISO800 with my GF1, a camera I loved, and the little viewfinder was ...

San Disk UHS-II cards. Note that if you use the OI Share app on an iDevice the app only works with slot 1. If you want to use the app for geotagging, or copying JPEGs to the phone, you need to make ...

My E-M1 Mark II bodies start up nearly instantly. But I have noticed that it takes about a second to be ready to use if I have a card in slot 2. With my UHS-II cards in slot 1 and slot 2 empty ...

After 30 years as a full time photojournalist using Canon gear almost the entire time I completely switched to Olympus in 2014. First to E-P5 bodies, then to E-M5 Mark II and this year to E-M1 ...

In my mind, mine was made by elves in an enchanted forest. :-) But to Guy's point. I don't think cameras are "made" anywhere now. They're assembled from parts made in factories around the world. ...

FWIW, yesterday I used my Pen F, freshly updated to FW vers2.1, for about 3 hours. I made about 200 frames. I had no problems, in fact, the camera seemed to run cooler (purely anecdotal since I ...

That means three more FW updates this year? It's going to be a busy six months for Olympus firmware engineers.

Thank you for posting this. Now the question is: Who wants to be first to install it? I think I will give it a week or three.

I have a Pen F and I like it a lot. It's very responsive and the image quality is excellent. The continuous autofocus is not great but aside from that, it's a very nice camera. The creative dial on ...

As Airmel noted, runtime with mirrorless cameras depends more on the hours the camera is in use than the number of frames made during those hours. In that regard, the E-M1 Mark II is better than ...

Thank you for posting this. I tried FW v2 and it locked up my camera. I "downgraded" to vers 1.1 using LightSnow Dev web site and everything is fine. I'm gonna wait on updating to 2.01 (or ...

The 45mm f1.8 is an excellent lens but it is rather long to be your only lens. You might get more out of either the kit zoom or, if you can afford it, the 17mm f1.8 and 45mm f1.8. The two lens ...

I had the lockup problems with firmware v2 and went back to 1.1 from the LightSnowDev site. It worked fine.

They're both great lenses. The question should be which do you need more, a 75mm (150mm FF equivalent) and a 42.5mm (85mm FF equivalent). Once you've decided which focal length is appropriate to ...

The E-M5 Mark II is still a very good camera. With the introduction of the E-M1 Mark II, I think Oly has done a better job of separating the very high end from the high end. If you don't need ...

I had a nice email exchange with Olympus customer service two weeks ago. I had an issue with the E-M1 Mark II and the Ol Share (the iPhone app). A customer service rep responded to my email and we ...
