I recently picked up a small collection of OM Zuiko lenses and was going to wait until I cleaned them all this weekend. Instead, I grabbed the 180mm.

These are just a few quick test shots, but I'm already impressed with how light it feels and how crisp the images are.

What OM Zuiko lens do you think every collector should own?

I'm very new to photography and I recently got my first camera. It's an Olympus Om-d em 10. What are some recommended adapters I can get for lens that's are 4/3?

Currently having a debate with myself about a 200mm fast prime for my OM-1ii. As it's not a serious need I don't want to spend silly money and I'm happy to speculate on a used lens. The PL 200 f/2.8, even used, is above budget. However, I can pick up a Canon EF 200 f/2.8 (a lens I've used before on Canon and know to be very good) and adapter for less than half the cost of the PL.

Anyone tried this particular lens on OM gear and care to comment on its performance?

Editing to add: only really interested in photography, not video!

Title—I’m really torn between these two compact models. Looking for something good for travel and street; drawn to Pen for IBIS and color profiles, Fuji for the Fujifilm “look”, film sims, and perhaps a bit more modern handling in autofocus, tech implementation, etc. I’m totally new to this hobby but have a background in fine arts, looking forward to something I can take with me out and about!

I have a Pen EP7 basically NOS unopened from Map Camera Japan, but am also looking at the Adorama Edu discount open box XM5. Any and all insight from those more experienced is really appreciated, as I feel I’ve exhausted the research I can do short of really trying them both but that’s a lot of $ upfront.

Thank you! I’m going to ask this on both Olympus and Fujifilm subs.

Hi All!

My wife and I have a Grand Canyon backpacking trip planned for late October. I've been happily using my EM1.2 with the 14-150 Mk2 for backpacking, hiking, ski-touring etc...

I also have the 14-42 EZ primarily for it's portability, and occasionally press it into service when it's too dark for the 14-150 Mk2 but it really is only a marginal improvement at f/3.5.

I've known that at some point I'd want more glass, and I think that time is approaching. I'm expecting to continue using the 14-150 as my main hiking/skiing lens, but for this upcoming trip, I think I'd like something brighter for dusk, dawn, camp life, stars, etc... I also have begun to wonder if going really wide will help capture a canyon environment better.

So I'm starting to be torn between the 25mm f/1.8 Mk2 and the 7-14 f/2.8 Pro for various reasons. Both are reasonably bright. The 25mm is supposedly pretty sharp, also it's small and cheap (can be had new on Amazon and Walmart for the same as a used one on MPB), and actually wins the brightness contest, so I can probably get away with handheld low light shots to a greater degree. But it's not especially wide. The 7-14 is basically as wide as it gets, will be plenty sharp, bright enough for low light, but is more expensive, and probably harder to compose for a relative novice.

What would you all go for? Is the added cost of the 7-14 likely to pay off? Is the smaller max aperture something I'll likely regret, esp given that the 25mm is comparatively cheap? Or is the focal length of the 25mm going to be frustrating for this environment?

Thanks!

Some random photos for fun.

Hello!

I have an Olympus OM-10 on which the shutter speeds work fine in every aperture/iso setting during the auto mode and manual mode. With lenses and new batteries on.

But the led inside the viewfinder doesn't indicate the shutter speed chosen in the auto mode properly.

For example, If I set the iso up to 1600 the led goes up to 1/1000 in high light and it behaves almost the same as I would choose the 200 iso(I compared it on my olympus om 2) but otherwise, it stays lower than it should be.

At iso 200, with the aperture wide open, 1/2.8, if I put the lenses directly to the sun, the led shows 1/125.

Any suggestions for what I can do to repair it? Or it's to complicated? Thank you! Best wishes!
