These images were still made with the then pretty new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III. I still use it with the light 12-45/4.0. I only use it on my way from home to work and back, but that’s at least twice a week.
In the meantime, I’ve bought the OM System OM-1 when it came out, and a week ago the already one year old OM System OM-1 Mark II. At current pace, you’ll see images taken with it not before 2030 😁
Why two almost identical cameras? Didn’t I think about changing systems?
I made up my mind when OM System came out with the gorgeous OM System OM-3. It’s the official successor to the even more gorgeous Olympus PEN-F, and it inherits practically everything the OM System OM-1 Mark II has, with one exception: the viewfinder. On the OM-3 it is OLED, but only has the same resolution of 2.36M dots as the nine years old PEN-F. I can live with that, and a new Canon EOS R7 comes with the same spec, but being used to the OM System OM-1’s 5.76m dot OLED viewfinder with 0.83x magnification, I was very reluctant to shell out 2000€ for a camera that might fill me with regret when looking through.
Well, the OM System OM-1 Mark II is only a small, but in some respects significant upgrade to the Mark I. More buffer, more speed, a computational variant of a graduated ND filter (based on multiple shots). Look for “om system live graduated nd filter review” on your favorite search engine. This video is, for instance, a good example.
And of course half a stop of additional stabilization. Can’t have enough of that 😁
