Great flashback article, Jeff! I kinda recall this from 2003.

Paired chargers, that's intense! But it makes sense. Need to check B&H for price.

Yup. Right there! Thanks. Something I never delved into because I just got the grip last month.

EM-1 and grip. Is there actually a proviso in the menu to regulate the order of battery use? I never noticed one. Your explanation about the camera not switching to the 2nd battery is what I ...

After years and years of using 4.3 and then micro 4.3 DSLR’s I finally got the bright idea (well, the bright idea finally sank in) to use two batteries, one in-body and one in-grip. Now I’m ...

Oh, and in closing on all this---a bit of final last minute research---the 17 pancake is still active on all national websites except for the US.

It was a "dated" lens quite early RE video. Not sure what the tech problem was---this was like 2011. But it held its own though the Pany 20 pancake got all the fanfare.

I started checking up aBOUT this lens. Great reviews. I've been so captured by its faster more pro 2.8 big brother that i overlooked it entirely. Sadly there's no review for it at Photo Zone.

Oh yeah, that lock button...! I love my 9-18 but that button drives me loco.

What do these "styles" entail? Actually, I heard mention of a 9-18 revamp. At four-thirds-org the 17 has been "darkened" into discontinued mode.

Good point. The 17 pancake was Oly's first m 4.3 lens, it deserves some obituary. it was a much underrated lens. i love mine. it was useless for video. noisy as heck.

It's not listed at B&H and it's not in the new 2017 catalogue.  I did a check on the threads for it and saw no mention either.

Would you folks please not forget to headline the title "Throwback Thursday" so we don't have to hunt for it.

Nikon FM! FM2! Olympus OM-1!

I remember this being the first Oly camera that Phil actually favored over the competition.

I had the A2E (EOS 5) and I disabled the eye control, same way I don’t choose to use multi-point focus in digital. My eye and my brain have a bond with one point AF that holds true to the best...

Is this Throwback Thursday? If so then where's the logo saying so?

There's a lead intro mentioning it being TT but all the other articles have the TT masthead to catch the viewer.

I don't think you read the OP carefully.

Cool. Always love your reviews Jeff!
