I had been thinking about going to this event as I was up in the lakes all week but had to go home a day early unplanned.
If the 12-100 could take the mc-14 converter I'd buy it in an instant.

Yeah real shame it doesn't. Would be great to have 24mm to 280mm with one lens and a converter.

I see Wex are doing some enhanced trade-in deals on the OMD E-M1-ii at the moment - has anyone traded in their M5-ii for the M1-ii ?

The most frustrating thing I find with my M5-ii is it's slow to wake up, so I'd be interested to know if M1-ii has the same problem.
 
I went from the m5-ii to the m1-ii and the m1 is much much faster. I switch on and its ready to go. In fact its just better at everything.

Except for the manual been about 300 pages to understand the menus that is.

I am still at the stage where I know there its in there somewhere to change something but I cant find it without going through almost every menu.

The price is eye watering although a few deals are starting to appear to make it more palatable.

The focusing and features on the mark II are amazing. Will it make you take better pictures? Not necessarily. I part ex my body, sold my drone and my 75mm to find the body swap.
 
get it works wonders with pro capture

They do look stunning images.

At the moment I am just playing with photography as a side hobby to my main one, but am already finding I prefer nature photography, I have the EM5 MK2 and 12-50 kit lens, 40-150 r2 and also the Panasonic 100-400. The option is to swap bodies and go for the EM1 MK2 or concentrate on the lens side of things and get 12-40 and 40-150 f2.8 and then change the body later on - just not sure which is best way to go at mo.

If it was me.....I'd go with the lenses, your camera is more than capable enough. The 12-40 is a great lens. I'd feel cheated if I had to slap a kit lens on a em1 mk2
 
Olympus 40-150 f2.8 turned up today, must say just in the hand and testing it, it just feels a quality product and am looking forward to giving it a run out.

Really wish Olympus would produce a 100-400 tele as just in the build quality it wins hands down against the Panasonic 100-400, image quality of the Panasonic lens is superb but just doesn't feel as good quality to operate as the Olympus.

Balls, I left it too late to sort out a telephoto lens for my Safari trip.

Anyone fancy lending me some glass? :p
 
So after years of using just my phone to take pictures i took the leap and bought an Olympus OM-D E-M10 MII. I have taken a few test shots just on auto but would like to get to know how to use the features of this camera.

Can anybody point me towards a blog/website/book on what different features use/what lenses should be used where/beginners photography?

That would be really useful thanks :)
