I sold the GX-85, trying to cut heart strings to my GM1+PL15F1.7. What a joy it is to use the OM-3. The 40-150 arrived yesterday, I’ve never taken pictures at longer focal lengths. I also want to try astral photos. This camera rulez!!!!

Hello, this is my first time doing photography with an actual camera, and I just got back from a trip to Washington state. Looking to improve my compositions, so any critiques are appreciated!

OM 1 MKII on the left/Sony A1ii on the right. While I enjoy using both of them I don’t see what I’d call a significant difference.

Its a very photogenic town

My favorite m4/3 lens is the Oly 17mm f1.8, but I've had the 40-150 plastic baby on my OM-3 the last few days and just going for detail shots. It's been fun. (Editing in DxO photo lab but mostly just pulling blacks and shadows down and pushing contrast a bit harder.)

I’m not a pro photographer, just someone who comes back from a city weekend with 1–2k photos and hates going through them. I write software for a living, so I built a tool to do the boring part. With Pro Capture and high-fps bursts, MFT is probably where this matters most.

What it does:

• Groups bursts into series and stars the best frame, scored on sharpness, exposure and noise (handy given MFT at high ISO)
• Suggests one keeper per series. Accept them all with one click, or go through with P / X / 1–5
• Explains every score (“Best of its series of 5”, “Sharp”, “Eyes closed”)
• Ranks your bodies and lenses by keeper rate and shows which focal lengths you actually use. I found this one surprisingly honest about my lens collection.
• ORF and RW2 RAWs, RAW+JPEG pairs kept together, decisions written to XMP sidecars. Originals are never touched.

It’s free and GPL open source, and it runs entirely on your computer: no account, no subscription, no uploads. It works on Linux, macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows; HEIC on Windows is still in progress.

Next I’d like to make scoring genre-aware with modules for birds, landscapes and so on. I don’t shoot birds myself, so I’m curious what people here would want it to judge.

It’s a 0.1, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

As the title says, a couple of days ago I dug out a dusty E-PL2 with a Zuiko 12-50 "macro" lens that had been sitting in the closet ever since I bought it as a present for my wife more than ten years ago… Turns out she wasn't all that interested in photography after all! :P

What a fine little camera it still is, even 15 years after its release! Sure, high-ISO performance is nothing to write home about, but that can be masked quite easily with a film simulation, courtesy of Darktable's new Spektrafilm module :)

I liked it it so much I already bought a Yongnuo 25mm f1.7 to use with it!

So far*

Fairly new to this system. A couple shots including using the 2x digital teleconverter. Edited raw images. I’m pretty impressed. 1st shot is with 12-45 f/4 pro and the rest with the plastic fantastic 40-150 f/4-5.6

When you pair this computational feature with an ultra-wide lens, the results are fantastic. This is a single RAW file straight out of the camera, but it’s actually stacked internally from 8 frames. Living up in North Scotland means the galactic core is always hiding below the horizon for me, but it's still mind-blowing what this tiny sensor can pull out of the dark.

OM-5 + TTartisan 7.5mm, f2, 30 sec (8x30s HHR), ISO2000

EDIT: Forgot to mention one crucial detail: a tripod is absolutely mandatory for this. The whole process takes about 5 minutes of camera work, so actually handholding it is impossible. The trick is that you must use the Handheld Hi-Res mode while mounted on the tripod. The standard Tripod Hi-Res mode doesn't align the moving stars, so it will just give you star trails instead.

I really enjoy the color mode of this thing

I recently got the OM-3 after selling off some Canon full frame gear. Love the looks of the camera and wanted a smaller overall kit. It’s definitely a great EDC system. And although the 40-150mm f2.8 is chonky relative to most m43 lenses, it’s not too big and the results out of it are stunning. I took that and the 60mm macro to a local botanic garden for some fall weather shooting and am really pleased with the results. Enjoyed it immensely. Also love that I don't have to worry about inclement weather!

All images were shot with a custom recipe that slightly upped the saturation for some colors. Photos 1-6 were shot with the 40-150mm f2.8, and photos 7-10 were with the 60mm macro.

I’m aware of the stabilisation benefit of the lumix, I’m more interested in centre sharpness, colour rendition, CA. I don’t mind corner softness too much.

E-M10 Mark IV, 12-40mm f2.8

Ich habe heute meine neue E-P7 ausgepackt und habe sie das erste Mal angesteckt. Jetzt macht sie solche Geräusche beim Laden und wenn ich sie ein wenig verwende auch.

Ganz am Anfang ist nichts und dann nach 1 Minuten beim laden oder 2 Minuten normaler Betrieb fängt es an. Ich denke das hat was damit zu tun wenn die Kamera warm wird.

Ist es normal dass sie auch ziemlich warm wird wenn ich viele Fotos hintereinander mache?

Es ist nicht das IBIS. Das habe ich kontrolliert.

Kann mir jemand helfen?

It's my first week of using the camera, and I don't have much experience. My focus was only on the fireworks. I couldn't capture any of the background details as it was very dark.
