The 50-200mm (nonSWD) on the E-M1 was what ultimately led me to abandoning Olympus.
I realize this sounds like a pretty weak argument for abandoning a camera system I have been using for many...
I really like the video "Ways of Seeing". It pretty much describes what I have always believed is that you see what you are looking for.
My plan is to sell all my Olympus equipment so I can purchase a second Canon body to use as my backup camera.
My photographic experience started when I retired from my Engineering job about 14 years ago. The first thing I did when I retired was to design a website for a local BMX race track (kids with...
I would like to visit and post some of my shots, but I an not sure it would be appropriate
I ultimately agree 100% with this statement. The problem is, I guess I just fell in love with the Olympus Engineering and just kept upgrading without ever looking to see what other tools were...
For the fast action shots I have been taking under low light conditions, the E-M1 just would not capture the images. When I happen to pick up the Canon 5D mark III at a trade show I took a bunch of...
I'm sure I will get over the guilt feeling too. My new camera makes me feel like I did when I first got my new E1.
I took my tripod with me to the first event, but there just wasn't room to use it. I do have a nice monopod, and I don't know why I didn't think to use it on the second two performances. I will...
Thanks Godfrey,
You are right about the camera. I don't know why, but I feel guilty about leaving Olympus.
Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I have another ballet (Swan Lake) to photograph in June, and KEH is coming to Las Vegas the end of February to purchase equipment so I have some...
As many of you may know, I am abandoning Olympus after shooting with my first Olympus E-10 almost 15 years ago.
I recently got involved with a local ballet company and with all the problems I had...
Thanks Don,
I considered ebay, but again like you say it is a lot of photographing/packaging/shipping of individual items. It is my feeling that if you consider all the hours that go into selling...
I though you may even be thinking about the E-10 as I had one of those cameras too, which I believe was one of Olympus' first digital cameras.
Thanks for the tip on the Canon SL1. I had not even...
Yes, it does include the MMF-3. I forgot about that. Seeing I already had the 12-60 and 50-200 lenses, I never had a need for the new smaller lenses.
It is not so much that I am in a hurry to...
Thanks Godfrey. This is what I was expecting to hear but hoping someone had an idea that may work. I just sold all my older camera gear to KEH for what I thought was a reasonable price. It wasn't...
Thanks for your input.
I have already purchased a Canon 5D Mark III with the 24-70mm f/2.8 and the 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses. I was going to keep my E-M1 with the lenses shown as a backup camera, but...
Hi Rich,
I believe you read the camera number wrong. I am selling my E-M1 mirror-less camera. I don't think the E-M1 is a vintage camera yet, or is it?
I hate to ask this question, and I don't even know if it is appropriate, but here it goes.
I have made the very difficult decision to sell all my Olympus gear. I am not interested in selling it...
Hi Don,
This forum is the one thing holding me back from selling all my Olympus gear. I would miss this forum more than I would miss my cameras.
I actually did sell all my older Olympus...
I had to send my E-M1 in for repair, and other than it taking a long time, it was returned in perfect condition. After having purchased every top of the line Olympus camera since they started making...
Ho Ho Ho and a Happy Holidays to everyone.
One of the things I like best about my 5D Mark III is the menu system. To me, it just makes sense. I still can't understand the menu system on my E-M1. I just have a mental block when it comes to the...
I just sold my E-3, E-5, and the grips. KEH had a group of their people come to two different camera stores in Las Vegas for two days where they purchase used camera equipment from anyone who wanted...
