What owners report

  • “[...] Taken using in-camera focus stacking on my new camera which is groundbreaking for me. I've been using the focus slider bar on my phone to stack which can be useless if you bump the phone even a little bit. fungi fungifriends Setup: OM System OM-1 OM System 60mm f2.8 macro”

  • “[...] But 100% agree on the OM-1 and OM-3. [...] That said, the camera itself seems to be pretty darn good - basically a slightly smaller, vintage-vibe OM-1. [...] [I don't do enough wildlife to bother with a more expensive telephoto).”

  • “I have an R5.1 and I have used the Pixel Shift mode maybe twice, just to see what it did. Like most cameras with this capability the scene has to be completely still, which is very rare for the type of photography I do (even architecture often has moving clouds or reflections). My Olympus OM-1 also has a similar mode with a similar experience. I also do not want any AI generation in my cameras. I want my cameras to take the photo I told it to make, and not to fake a photo it thinks I wanted to take.”

  • “Here's one of my favourite bird shots - one of the few I've had printed. I spent 20 minutes waiting for this swallow to take off, hand-holding my camera, and then it flew off the moment I put the camera down 😭 📷 OM System OM-1, 300mm f/4 photography birdphotography wildlifephotography”
