I would certainly get the the Panasonic 8-18 if it's less costly than the Olympus 7-14, and Panasonic fixes the chromatic problem with purple blobs that plagued their 7-14 on Olympus bodies. I may ...

Tube worm Frogfish Secretary Bennie Bristle worm These were taken last December, TG-4, PT056 housing , Ikelite DS -51 strobe with optical sync and manual  exposure. I may invest in a SEA&SEA strobe ...

Getting approximate focus and then moving the camera closer or further to the subject was the classic macro technique I used with non AF 35mm cameras  ( Canon F1 or A1).  This was for clinical ...

You may want consider getting the PT-056 housing. It does not add much bulk, protects the camera to greater depth. You can easily rinse and dry the housing , remove the dry and clean  camera and ...

When I first the camera saw my impression was the door latches looked "flimsy" so it was always used it  in the waterproof case, even on shallow dives and snorkeling.  In the case it was fine down ...

I suffer as much GAS as the next guy, but have been practicing impulse control. The EM-1 currently still meets all my needs, and I also haven't been been able to use all the features its capable ...

With the reported history of lugs coming loose on the EM-1, having a strap that uses the tripod socket might be safer.

Thanks for the answers , that worked. And yes not being able to do a batch selection is bad .  Disappointing that Apple doesn't see the value of raw files. If I weren't so lazy, may I could learn ...

When I import RAW from my EM-1, files show up normally in Photos. On the TG-4 RAW is not an option, only RAW+JPEG. The thumbnail shows up with the small "J" in the lower right corner, but where is ...

The Sigma 105 for four thirds works well with the adapter on the EM-1. AF is as slow as it was on my E30, but I always use MF as do many others for macro.

For me the 12-40 did replace primes. A few months after I bought it I realized I no longer used the 17 or the 25, so I sold them. For me changing lenses in the field was always an opportunity for ...

Essentially my 12-40 is on the camera most (75%) of the time, and I was planning adding  the Panasonic 35-100 to make  light weight travel kit. But if the 12-100 is cost effective, that would be ...

But a 12-100 mm lens would be a 8X zoom as opposed to the 40-150mm which is slightly less than a 4X

May ultimately get one, but won't be first adopter.....Would rather spend money on  lenses. When there are refurbished mark 2's on Olympus's site, then I may get one.

I thought both the video and stills were quite acceptable. Just curious , did you process from RAW or are these OOC jpg's I have a TG-4 that I bought to use as a dive camera last December . With ...

75-300mm currently available from Olympus brand new for $449, often available in the refurbished section for $349. Hard to imagine a private sale for more than a refurbished price....

While your photos may not be technically "good" , if they were mine I would be pleased I actually got shots of the dolphins out of the water. Good pictures of dolphins and whales "in flight" are ...

Sigma made a 105mm macro for 4/3 cameras. it works well with my EM-1, with the adapter of course. if you can find a used one, I prefer the working distance of the 105 compared to the 50mm macro ...

Started off just using JPEG, then was convinced RAW was more flexible for difficult lighting etc. Now back to 95% JPEG. The vast majority of my shots are local around the house , family events and ...

Yep, a 90mm f2.8 would have been just dandy. I don't see the point for another short macro with minimal working distance.
