Micro 4/3 - Help needed - artefacts

Can someone help me with this problem? I have artifacts in some of my photos. I neither know where they come from nor how to get rid of them. See the space surrounding the figure.

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 - Lumix rumour fuel - Jaron (Petapixel) has recently been shooting with a 10-25 and a 42.5, can't say why until next week

Video link starts at relevant timestamp. As title. Following a discussion about Tamron and Samyang zooms and the proliferation of non traditional zooms, Jordan asks Jaron what he thinks of the 10-25. Jaron says he's been shooting with one recently, as well as a 42.5 lens (unspecified whether...

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...

Olympus - OM System Clearance Lenses

For the first time in awhile, I logged into the OM System US website, to see if the employee discount linked to my login was working again…it stopped working probably about 6-8 months ago. It’s still not working, however that’s not the point…the point is a huge amount of lenses are on...
