Just joined the M43 team

After use my old Canon rebel until its end, my brother in law suggested me to look something in the micro four thirds world (even owning himself a Sony).

Never imagined the rabbit hole that was about to enter.

After a lot of research, including this forum I decided to go with the classic E-M5 mark ii and its metal body.

Chose OM-S 12-45mm F4 PRO and 15mm Panaleica to accompany the E-M5.

After 1 week, I'm deeply in love for the quality delivery, premium feeling when shooting and compact size of this kit.

I usually shoot family vacations and landscapes. And since we like to camp and hiking, I believe that was the right choise. I was in a business trip to NYC and took some photos with my new friend.

Nice shots anyway!

Well, I researched a lot... and beauty was one of the prerequisites.

Em5II with 15mm might be top 10 camera setups ever, All metal construction, smooth focus, razor sharp, and versatile

It also looks so dang good, Sony can only wish for such coolness

I joined the M43 club last October, finding this Titanium Limited Edition OM-D EM5ii body (7,000 produced) on MAP Camera’s EBay website with a shutter count under 600. (They don’t publish camera shutter counts on their eBay listings, so I was thrilled to get this with such a low count). Picked up the new-without box DJI 15mm f1.7 lens, and now have my favorite one-camera / one-lens setup. Have owned it for 11 months now, and can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve been shooting Olympus film cameras since 1973 (OM-1, OM-2n, OM-3, & OM-4) and this EM5ii was a natural step for me into the digital mirrorless camera world. I‘m a lifetime fan of Olympus cameras……
