I can emphasize with you exactly. Last month, I explained to a fellow engineer that getting an Olympus with in-camera stacking and the 60mm macro could generate images of bearing balls in five ...

In a word, unreal!  Your images rival electron microscopy in full, true color!  Astounding. Simply marvelous. CDC

Greetings Fellow "Filmies" I got bitten by the Leica Film bug this summer when I stumbled upon a deal on a Leica IIIf with the 5cm, F3.5 Elmar lens.  I had the body fully repaired and shot and ...

I can comment on the use of the Oly 150mm F2 on the EM1x body with the mmf adapters.  It works perfectly.  Focus is a fast and accurate as with the older 43 bodies. One caveat is that the Oly 4/3 ...

To my knowledge, you are correct. Olympus is the real pioneer and leader for in camera stacking. For my work which includes taking hundreds of clear record shots of small bearing balls, I ...

I believe that the EF to MFT. Adapters have some computer smarts built in that make the EF lenses behave. The 4/3 to MFT adapters do not have such capabilities. Most of the old four thirds lenses ...

You are getting focus hunting because the lens does best with Phase Detect Auto Focus (PDAF) and the Panasonic cameras (and many Olympus MFT ones bodies too) uses contrast detection methods. CDC

Vintage??? I bought an Olympus 50mm f1.4 at a yard sale for two dollars, and three 1950’s Leica lenses and a 1953 Leica camera. Vintage to be sure. Of course, then I had to buy a bunch of new tools ...

A bit of a used mixed bag for me this past year. I bought one used 4/3 lens and sold three others. I bought one very old 35mm film camera and three equally old lenses to fit. The EM1x is still my ...

I concur.  Having perspective correction in camera is very handy.  I have it in the EM1x and it allows me to ensure that I do not crop off important sections nor take too wide of a shot for later ...

Joe You did really well to get the 14-35 SHG for so little. It is my most used lens. I got a manfrotto universal L bracket with their quick release plates (QR) built in to match my tripod head. I ...

OK.  I'll pull on this thread. Here's my Leica IIIf garage sale find.  Bought it for cheap ($35) as a shelf decoration. Decided to have it brought back to life (shutter curtain replacement and full ...

Excellent! CDC

Good Luck.  Glad I could help. It is odd though, that LR does not yet have an invert feature.  They promote a "work around trick" using the tone curve and suggest reversing the curve and saving as ...

Hi Paul: Try invert (command I) in photoshop. Then open in Lightroom and adjust as needed. The sliders will now work normally. You can open the negatives in Lightroom and edit a copy in photoshop ...

Your accuracy expectations for a low aperture setting may be too optimistic.  I find there is a bit of uncertainty especially at distance. More practice may help. My eyes are not so good for these ...

Naming the Olympus C# modes would be very helpful. I often forget which is which. CDC

I traded my old, unwanted 4/3rds items to KEH.  Plan to get 50% of the current retail price you see for the same items on their web site.  They have an online trade in system and it is very easy ...

Gary: The setting page in question is buried in the camera menu setting for image quality. Check out page 213 of the EM1x pdf manual: It looks like this: EM1X manual pdf, page 213 You are given ...

Try HHHR photos but pick a jpg size of 25 megapixels instead of the usual 50. Then set the ISO way up to 3200 or 6400 and feel free to use a high F-stop for good depth of field. The file size will ...
