This is a 2 second exposure from Seoul. E-M1 Mark II, Oly 25mm f1.8 lens. It's not just about being able to do 2 and 3 second exposures. I use it a lot more 1/8th and 1/15th exposures with my 75mm ...

I work with the Olympus primes and carry two bodies almost all the time. Usually have a wide angle on one body and a normal or tele on the second body.

I make pictures. The take / make debate is interesting. "Taking" is predatory, "making" is collaborative. I think pictures are frequently a collaboration between the photographer and the subject. ...

I made my own out of Sugru, but I don't have the E-P5 anymore. I always thought these grips looked good. They do have access to the battery compartment. https://www.amazon.com/J-B-Camera-Designs-Wo ...

I own both. IMO, image quality is about the same up to ISO1600. I think the E-M1 Mark II has a slight high ISO advantage. Maybe 1/2 stop. Maybe less. It's insignificant in day to day to photography. ...

I have two E-M1 Mark II bodies. What you described happens to one of my bodies from time to time. In my case, it happens regardless of lens or battery (I have six Olympus brand batteries). It ...

the f1.2 primes are weather sealed. But they ain't small.

Better C-AF. Otherwise I'm quite happy. Maybe same battery as E-M1 II (if it doesn't bloat camera size too much).

This is happening to both of my EM-1 II bodies. I thought maybe it was unique to my cameras, although I should have known better because it also happened to my E-M5 II bodies. Interestingly, it ...

I do the opposite (JPEG to slot 1, RAW to slot 2) because OlShare app only works with slot 1 and since I use the JPEGs to feed Instagram and social media, I need to access the JPEGs from my phone. ...

I backed up my settings before updating the firmware, did the update using the SD card method and reloaded my settings. I got an on screen message that reloading the settings failed, but when I ...

I also prefer updating via the SD card as outlined here: https://lightsnowdev.com/Olympus/index.html But to answer your question directly, try this: 1) Open System Preferences 2) Click on Security ...

Improvements in the sensor (especially high ISO), improvements in autofocus and reduced shutter roll would be three things that might prompt people to buy new. Those and GAS.

I use the electronic shutter a lot for all the reasons others have mentioned. I will add another reason. Higher max shutter speed. Max mechanical shutter speed on E-M1 Mark II is 1/8000. Max ...

I got the error message when I updated my first E-M1 Mark II but I didn't get it on the second one. (I updated my cameras via the SD card rather than the Oly updater. So my settings weren't saved ...

Mine is the same as my first camera for two reasons. 1) Muscle memory. Controls, settings etc are the same so going from camera to camera is seamless (I use primes and frequently use both cameras ...

Easily 5 out of 5. For me, it's a game changer. Using my primes I can handhold for multiple second photos. With the 12mm f2, 2 seconds is easy. 15-20 seconds is doable if there's something steady ...

If you're using LR6 you'll be waiting in vain. Adobe isn't updating it any longer. If you're using CC there should be an update when Adobe gets around to it. In the meantime, you could use the ...

I tried to update my FW and the Oly FW Updater app doesn't show v2 being available to me yet. My E-M1 Mark II bodies are registered in the US. I go to the My Olympus page ...
