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...

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...

Micro 4/3 - Vintage Motorsport - help me select from my gear

Hello all, I'm planning to shoot a vintage motorsport event during late-autumn as one of several invited amateur (and pro) photographers. It's been a few years since I last attended this event and have changed my gear quite a bit since then. The promoters liked my output then, hence the...

Micro 4/3 - Advise on next camera

I need some advises for gear progression: - I believe I learned quite a bit of the type of shoots and style, and I do enjoy a rather wide variety of style with no specialisation: Street, Scenery, Portraiture, Vehicles, Nature and Wildlife. EM-5 Mk1 has served me well for the most part, except I...

Micro 4/3 - E-M5 bricked!

I was using OM Workspace to update my E-M5 this evening. FW was 1.1, with eventual target of 2.3. All prompts were followed, battery was full, card was out. When I got to the spot where I was to hit "Next" and wait for the "OK" prompt, the screen went black as soon as I pressed "Next" on the...

Micro 4/3 - Panasonic 20mm f1.7 discontinued

https://www.43rumors.com/the-end-of-an-epic-lens-panasonic-lumix-g-20mm-f1-7-ii-asph-discontinued/ The 14mm was discontinued back in 2024 without an update, so no point holding your breath I guess. A version with better AF would have been great, but so it goes. I'm glad I still have mine.

Micro 4/3 - A Lens for How the Eye Sees

As much as I love the flexibility of a good zoom lens, I always return to primes for a proper feel good session of serious clicking. Last year I realised I didn’t have a prime lens that equated to the human eye. My assumption from my old 35mm film days is that for full frame sensor the nifty 50...

Micro 4/3 - Thoughts on larger lenses

With my recent dip back into micro 4/3 waters with a mint E-M5, most of my journeys with the camera will be with an OM 17mm f1.8 II, especially when I am out on a bike ride. I may eventually get a 12-45 pro, simply because I think that is an excellent lens. But I've also been considering getting...
