Over the last decade, I’ve drifted in and out of owning a full Micro Four Thirds kit. Mostly Olympus/OM System bodies, with a few Panasonics thrown in the mix. And every time I’ve sold them off, I notice something strange: I miss shooting with Micro Four Thirds. In fact, heres 5 things that I already … Read more

Update: June 2025 – I have since bought and extensively used both the OM Systems OM1 and OM1 Mark II which are both fantastic cameras. I’m also now testing the OM3 and explained why I bought it here. Today I am going to share my Olympus OMD EM5 III review with you. I have been waiting … Read more
Sony A7R II vs Olympus OMD EM1 II Depth of Field Comparison I just took delivery of a Sony A7R II yesterday with the Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 lens. Part of my decision to buy this combination was to supplement my Olympus OMD EM1 II with a camera with a full frame sensor as I believe … Read more
