If possible, try to replicate the shots of 4 years ago. Same scene, lighting and settings. That would give you an equal playing field to compare from. If things have changed: have you dropped the ...

For sure. I was amazed how well the old 50 macro focused on even my EM-1.1, with adapter. Not 'amazing' compared to other lenses... but if you want to see how badly the old dog hunts, try it on a ...

'Naked' all the way, as I'm usually no deeper than waist-deep when shooting. I had a case for my C-5060 and that was a beast!

Macro shots. Especially when you're travelling light, or in tenuous situations, the TGs can get you the shots. Better than full frame? Maybe not... but damn fine and sometimes impressively fine, ...

TG shots where having wifi control via phone/iPad was useful: Camera was inches from the nest but we were inside the house, watching on an iPad. My grandson was about 3 years old and took this ...

Okay: Underwater — or ready for splashes TG-3 and TG-5: Gulf of Aqaba, Egypt. Standing chest-deep and shooting. With the TG, you can just stick it where you want and rinse it off later. Hard to ...

RAW capability started with the TG-4. Water can be tough on colours, so any extra help in post processing can help your final product. Also wifi control started with TG-3 (I believe). As far as ...

Nice! I don't often see streaked car lights, mixed with lightning. Dramatic effect!

The Sigma 60 is a gem. Crazy quality for the low price.

The butterfly shot was 3000x4000 pixels and 9.1 Mb file size. I don't know if it's all 'real,' or if they add some digital magic — but I'm happy with it. I'd say the macro pics are more pleasing ...

Before machine learning came onto the photography stage, I mused that I'd like to be able to tell my Olympus camera, "If you ever see chain link fence or any kind of mesh in the frame: DO NOT focus...

The recent "Pink Moon" was a disappointment for many, as it was admitted there wouldn't actually be any pink colours involved. I knew my 40-150 wouldn't be close enough, so I set up a remote flash ...

I upgraded my TG-3 to the TG-5 because of its RAW shooting ability, especially for underwater. Apple — or Olympus — hasn't bothered to get RAW support sorted in about 4 years. The TG-6 was ...

'Ply' = "Oly"... I tried to edit, but too late.

Well... no weather-proofing is a BIG con for me, so it was good to know. And "slippery without accessory grip." My Ply E-M5.2 has no grip and it feels awful, compared to my other Olys.

The "no...

I can mostly thank Minolta, for my almost 20 years with Olympus. Second: DPReview. I started my photography life with a used Pentax SP1000 that my mom and brother gave me, then, when Minolta ...

Just tried my E-M5.2 with 12-40 Pro lens, and the closest I can get is 5 cm of ruler, from about 5 cm away, on the horizontal. My good old 4/3 50mm 1:2 macro shows about 2.8 cm of ruler from about ...

Here we go, showing the closest I can go. First in regular, then in "microscope mode." Not beauties, as I was hand-holding and the light was not bright, so some motion blur and moving out of focus ...

Our pennies might be a different size than yours. Do you have access to any American or Canadian pennies, so you can see a live version of what I intend to shoot in macro mode? Or, can you confirm ...

Hi SidSoni, Good question about the magnification. I don't have the technical background to TELL you — but I'll take some shots of pennies, as a reference point, and post them for you — with no ...
