Micro 4/3 - Should I sell my Pen F?

As per the title, should I sell it? I bought it in mint used condition midsummer 2023 primarily to use for monochrome photography. However, as I'm not one to go fiddling with settings and using cameras to full potential I've hardly used it, taking just a couple of hundred shots with it. I...

Bonjour,
1 tirefond 2 tirefonds, 3 tirefonds..
Hier matin, je suis retourné me promener sur la voie ferrée actuellement désertée jusqu'à l'été. Avec de l'éclairage cette fois-ci pour pouvoir franchir le #tunnel en voyant où je mettais les pieds.
S'il y avait un peu de gelée blanche sur la végétation en début de matinée, j'aurais bien aimé qu'il y en ait également sur les rails

1 lag bolt, 2 lag bolts, 3 lag bolts..
Yesterday morning, I went back for a walk along the railway line, which is currently deserted until the summer.

Taken at the quarry yesterday. Quite happy with how some of them turned out. I really enjoy some of the textures present in the industrial environment when taken in black and white even with simple things like railings and gravel.

Camera used is E-M1 Mark II with Rokinon 300mm F6.3 Reflex/Mirror lens.

Early morning shots from the other day. Saw a light frost on some Purple Dead Nettle (Lamium Purpureum) and Shepherd's Purse/Lady's Purse (Capsella Bursa-Pastoris). Took a couple shots of the grass too. The mirror lens bokeh works really well with that sort of subject. I'll include a couple colour photos at the end for fun.

Micro 4/3 - Where did all the disappointed Micro 4/3 shooters go?

I noticed there has been a significant decrease in activity in all online communities dedicated to Micro 4/3. Myself, I have been a Micro 4/3 shooter since 2009, and I am generally happy with the system, but obviously there are ongoing concerns about its viability. Since Olympus divested of...

Some rain photos I took at work on the pavement yesterday. Feel free to scroll thru and let me know your favourite. It was sunny when I left for work so I chose my lens accordingly. Started pouring half way into the day. The lens I chose was a Rokinon 300mm F6.3 Reflex/Mirror lens. Hard to get a sharp focus but it still has neat characteristics. SUPER shallow depth of field. Ended up being the perfect lens for the day afterall.

Här ser man tydligt att de som aldrig provat micro för thirds, #m43 , #mft , har helt rätt. Det går inte att få en oskarp bakgrund.

"Squirrel"

I actually own a birding lense although I know nothing about birds. The µ43s system is quite renowned for its light equipment for comparable huge reach. Its a crop sensor and I am quite sad that there are not many modern, small cameras in that format. I mostly bought this lens on a whim because I wanted to have something with reach and not spend thousands of euros on something I don't even know I like. This thing is a plastic fantastic and quite soft, I have problems seeing lens quality in other lenses, but this one is definitely "bad". On the other hand..its insanely cheap for what it does, you need bright sunshine to get anything with it, but then the result is quite okay. I haven't gone to any outings with it in the last few months..but as it happens, nature comes to me, like this and some other squirrels living the next tree over.
