Picked up an AF-1 for under $100 for for my wife. It has the same 35mm f/2.8 Zuiko lens as the Mju-II, a solid 80s build, and doesn't break the bank.
I put together a quick write-up with some sample scans if anyone’s considering one:
What's your favorite budget point-and-shoot right now?
I tried to find the setting for high resolution for my Olympus E-M10iii. no matter how much I change from A,M,S,P the setting won’t show up. I’m new to camera so I’m sure I’m doing something stupid to the point all YouTube videos that I saw won’t even bother mentioning it might not show up.
Pls need help.
Thank you In advance!
I worked for a junk removal company a long time ago. I took this camera because I thought it was cool (and had a cool box) but I know nothing about cameras. over a decade later and I found it again in my things.
I was going to toss it in the electronics recycling, but Gemini claims there may be enthusiasts out there that would be interested, even if just for parts. Is that true? It looks to be an Olympus OM-2 that was possibly used in a dentist's office.
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.

Is the om5 ii a worthwhile upgrade over the e-m1 ii? I use my e-m1 mainly for holidays and family gatherings using prime lenses (the pana 20mm basically lives on my camera) and occasionally go for wildlife using the 75-300. Sometimes the e-m1 ii feels too much camera for my needs.
A lighter and smaller camera appeals to me as would the new menus in hope. I like quality the e-m1 ii produces so i do not want to give too much in in that regard. It would cost me €200 upgrading, would it really be a quality of life upgrade? Any advice?
Hello everybody, unfortunately I stored my Olympus EM10 mkII improperly when I was in a rush, leaving the flash mounted on. The hotshoe bracket has come loose on one side so the flash doesn't make contact anymore. However I can hold it down and it works just fine.
How would you proceed with this type of repair? Is it a bad idea to add a few drops of glue to keep the bracket in position or is this a situation where you'd have someone repair it professionally?
Thanks, here's some photos of the damage for context:
Even though I don't really like the color science of my OM-5ii, the black & white SOOCs look pretty beautiful. How do you guys think about coloured SOOCs from OM-5ii, maybe my settings weren't ideal for now?
Hi, when I try to connect to the camera, the OI.share tries to "complete" the process I assume because the camera screen stucks in "Connecting to your phone."but I'm able to view and transfer photos from the camera and use remote shutter function, though because the camera screen stuck in that page, I cannot shoot. Does anyone know a solution or face with a similar issue?
Hi! I bought an Olympus Camedia C-5060 from someone on Vinted. It was working fine until recently, but now I can't change any settings on it. The camera starts up fine, but turning the mode dial does nothing. I can't adjust the aperture in manual mode or change the flash, and I can't even navigate the settings menu — pressing the OK button opens the menu, but none of the directional buttons work. Strangely enough, I can still change the shutter speed without any issue.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Thanks in advance !
I have just purchased a used Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO and from what I hear from others I will need to carry very few if any other lenses when I go on holiday. What second lens do people suggest I should carry with it?
Recent trip to Upstate NY with the fam, taken on my E-P7
Hi, I have picked up this Olympus OM20 and inside the front optic is a small black speck of what I think is dust however not sure.
Will this affect my photos? I am new to film photography and don’t want to ruin any future photographs with this black mark in the way!
Any advice would be appreciated
Hi! I recently bought the OM-D IV bc my old pen was starting to rattle and had a delay shutting off plus it had that clacking sound when i turned it off. I didn’t notice that before. My pancake lens also didnt seem to work anymore while my 45 mm lens worked just fine. However i got this new camera and only used the 14-150 kit lens with it. Today i got the bright idea to use the 45 mm lens i still had. Eversince i put that lens on i feel like i can feel the ibis inside and it also had delays shutting off. After removing the lens and a hard reset it turned off but makes that clacking sound. I also feel like the ibis is more noticeable than before. Am i tripping and just now noticing this or did the lens actually cause damage within the ibis or magnet. Before sending it in i‘d really appreciate some insight. I also feel like the motion blur increased when moving the camera around but that could also just be me tripping bc i‘m scared to have ruined yet another camera. Thanks!

Hi all! After a long time of debating whether to get back into photography, I finally caved and purchased an Olympus in mint condition! I had initially been set on purchasing a Fujifilm due to the love I had for their film simulations, but with the skyrocketing of prices due to TikTok and sm, I looked elsewhere and luckily set my sights on the Olympus brand. It took me a whole month of research and back and forth before settling on the M10, due to my lack of need for weatherproofing, and mark ii, due to its sturdier build and freedom of customization. After watching several videos and exploring the menu options, I was able to closely duplicate the Fujifilm Chrome film simulation as well as simulate the look of the Kodak Portra 400. The M.Zuiko 40-150mm lens just arrived yesterday after I purchased it on sale and I’m excited to finally be able to test the camera out. Does any have any recommendations? Any other lenses I could purchase that wouldn’t put a hole in my pocket? And any tips to get the best shots without any editing required? I’ll mostly be taking RAW pictures from the camera to post and will not be editing them to get the most in the moment kind of photography. Thank you for the help!
Total newb to photography here. I have an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV and just have the 14-42 lens it came with that I'm enjoying. I'd like to get into more landscape photography and perhaps some wildlife as well. Would love some recommendations on a lens upgrade that would suit my needs but won't break the bank either.
