Olympus E-300: launched in 2004 (22 years ago 🫠) and with a peculiar design, it is still acclaimed today for the colors it produces. Some say it is because, inside it, there is a CCD sensor produced by Kodak, a specialist in film and color science. Is it? I don’t know.

What I do know is that it has been the camera I take everywhere. A few days ago I discovered YouTuber @jimmywestphoto (hello 👋) who said in one of his videos that “the best camera is the one that makes you forget you have it”. I happen to notice this with this one, despite its size and strange appearance. I think it’s super cool and those buttons and dials are super satisfactory.

Modern image processing and the great lenses (birds 50-200 SWD, dragonfly 14-54 II) make the E-5 still a great camera today!

hello all, thanks for having me! this is my first time posting here.

I have been a fan of Olympus Zuiko Four Thirds system since 2016 when I had my first E-300 with the funny design been given to me by a family member, since then I learned photography trough technical school mostly on a E-510. sold everything (except the E300) in 2017-18 for upgrading to full frame in 2018 going to academy.

I bought a E-3 in 2023 but only last year would I start using it seriously.

A project I have been working on in the past year is Desert Winters In Flemish Dunes. especially during winters, the Flemish dunes can be so so so so beautiful. these are some of the photos from this project. these are made in the dunes of The Panne during the early winter at the end of December last year.

what do you all think of it. I use an Olympus E-3 and have a variety of lenses from the 12-60mm, 40-150mm, 35mm and 50mm. I still want the 70-300mm as well.

I absolutely have loved the small sensors since the start, the grain that you can get with it is so beautiful. I also used to have an Olympus E-M10MarkII between 2019 and 2023. same story with those, the grain you can get from the small sensors are, again, insanely beautiful. one of the reasons I still use the zuiko system. I have full frame cameras as well and use those for different reasons and advantages.

wanted to share some of these photographs to share with you and also ask for constructive feedback. I miss chatting with other photographers about photography and stuff regarding the skill of photography. photography is my biggest passion in this life. I absolutely love it, and take my cam everywhere as much as possible.
