Update 2025: Over 7 years later and this is the one Pro Prime lens I’ve never sold. I think that says everything you need to know about this lens. I used it recently in my comparison of the OM Systems OM-3 vs the Fuji X100VI along with the updated 17mm f/1.8II lens. I’ve used it … Read more
Olympus EM1 Mark II vs Panasonic GH5 — 2025 Update Last Updated October 23, 2025:I recently noticed this older post still getting traffic, so I thought it deserved a refresh — especially since it was first published back in January 2018.

Update September 2025: It’s been a very long time since I did this comparison between two of my favourite Olympus cameras. Since then I have shot with many systems, yet am always drawn back to OM Systems for their build quality, ruggedness, features and ergonomics.

Updated March 2nd 2026: I have now written the modern version of this article, comparing the X100VI vs OM-3. Both of these cameras are excellent in their own way.
