I got it from seller on Taobao for 9 USD, not sure if they are available outside of China.

7Artisans, Chinese manufacturer of affordable manual lenses, introduced their 18mm body cap lens two and half months ago, at the end of October 2020. And while there were some articles and reviews ...

Yes, mk4 is successor.

This is just sort of paid firmware update.

Price hike in Europe was caused by Olympus promotion, when they gave free f1.2 lens with every sale of EM1ii. Sellers simply pushed price of EM1ii higher, as they knew it will still sell, since it ...

I downloaded DXO 4 just today, will get to this over weekend. Can I ask what level of DeepPrime(0-100) are you using for these? And are the levels similar to older prime?

Thanks for linking that topic. Sadly to see there seems to be no solution to this strange decision by Panasonic. (apart from that limited flash trick, will try it)

Hi, I started using manual lens on GF9/Gx850 and so far I'm unable to find any way how to enable back the mechanical shutter. Camera asks me to switch on "Shoot without lens" and from that on only ...

All of this info is available when you click on the info icon. For Em5 mk3, Panasonic 42.5 F1.2 was used.

Well, UK was always unique even among EU countries. I bought so many electronics on Amazon UK, sometimes even at 1/2 - 2/3 price compared to Czech or German prices.

Hahaha, I did exactly the same thing!

G95 is truly strange in sales. I was tracking its pricing in China and HK for some time. Here you can see that over summer, its price actually jumped up! On both official retail and grey imports. F ...

Oh my, poor EM5 III. Such a lovely camera, but seems that every few months we find new design fail on it. Replacing whole back panel to fix thumb rest rubber...

I found it on taobao ("amazon of China") for 10 USD. Mostly sold as super low cost alternative for the Ricoh GR2 viewfinders. It's very simple viewfinder, no marking at all and it looks quite bad. ...

Panasonic GX1, definitely my favourite. Nice compact body with metal construction, but still focused on more advanced photographers with direct controls and proper dial. Something that vanished ...

In retail in Shenzhen, Olympus is pretty much non-existent. There is one offline seller and they don't even carry latest models.

Olympus China official store will close on October 9th , according to their post from yesterday: http://olympus-imaging.cn/support/supportdetail.php?id=2001 Not sure if we can point this to the JIP ...

I strongly recommend to read the original article, at least using google translate. It gives more details and maybe little different point of views than this summary on rumors page.

You can find IP rating on some Olympus (IPX1) and Leica (SL2 is the best at IP54).

You want some replacement guarantee on product with bunch of ports, card slot and massive lens mount? That's just...

Can you please explain what's your reasoning behind this? How does heavier weight, which is caused by bulky materials (all these 1000D corduras), extra pockets, webbing, zippers, etc, improve on ...

For comparison: In our Shenzhen photography group (50 people, mix of foreigners and Chinese), there is just two of us left on Olympus. There were few guys with Panasonic, but they all switched to ...
