Just finishing my holiday packing and can't decide which 'everyday' lens to take between the two in the title. Do I go with the bigger, but more versatile 12-45, or the tiny but slightly more restrictive 12-32?

The 12-32 is new to me and from my series of test shots it behaves surprisingly well against the 12-45. I'd say it has poorer corner sharpness but holds its own for centre sharpness through the range. In fact there are a couple of places in the range I'd say it's as good or better than the 12-45.

Anyway, which would you take to sit alongside the 40-150 f/4 and the PL9mm f/1.7 for a casual holiday with no particular photographic aims in mind.

I just got the Olympus Trip 35 that’s fully functional but I’m not sure whether to buy batteries for it or not. The seller said I need to buy batteries separately but different websites are saying that it doesn’t need batteries. I’m new to film photography so I don’t know much about film cameras. Do I need to get batteries for this camera?

This is a very basic question but figured I’d ask anyways. I always double check to make sure I loaded the film correctly, if I didn’t then I know that I need to rewind and reload it.

Here is the question.

How do you know when the film is free from the advance lever but not fully rewound to the point where you can no longer see the film? Is there some indication, or do you just have to use your best judgment?

Thank you!

So I'm looking to get the M43 body and I'm wondering how big the difference is between these two cameras? I know they have the same sensor so image quality wise they're the same, but what about other things like auto focus and so on, is there a big difference there?

A used EM-5 iii is obviously cheaper than a new OM-5 ii, but with cashback and kit deals the distance becomes less, and you also get nice things like warrant, so I'm wondering if it's actually worth buying new?

Im looking forward to buy the Olymus OM-D E-M1 MK2 as my first Camera body. Is there anything You guys need me to know before buying?

Also I think I will buy older, cheaper prime lenses. I think they are more fun (also don't have that much money) Bad Idea? Any recommendations?

Hello everyone,

I have been shouting on my OMD EM1 Mark II for a little while now (mostly nature related picture (birds, snakes, etc ...).

I only use manual mode (and manual focus) as the auto-focus doesn't seem to be really usefull and practical in my case.

But what i can't say is that i'm an expert so, for the veterans using this specific camera is there something i should absolutely try / change so that i can progress ?

Hello all,

So I wanted a premium point & shoot camera for a long time, found a XZ1 and bought it, I was sold on idea of CCD sensor, beautiful color sience and all that. Now I found a XZ2 for a good price and ordered it too. I want to keep one and sell the other. I bought it with idea to get more "film like" photos, I know it is not comparable with film, I shoot 35mm as well and SooC photos will never be close, but heard that XZ1 can get close to taking nice nostalgic looking photos, but more and more I read debate about CCD vs CMOS and even if everyone leans more toward it being "myth" I see some believe in CCD having something that CMOS doesn't.

My question is toward someone who owned both or one of these two at least, what would you recommend to keep as a point and shoot? Is there any advantage about XZ1 besides (claimed) CCD? I know it is a bit smaller, but haven't had a chance to compare their size IRL yet, since XZ2 did not arrive.

Howdy everyone! I’ve had my pen-f digital for a few years now. Been using it, but not really getting into the nitty gritty of things until recently. Just got back from a trip and have some photos that when zoomed in look much better than the picture taken. I wanted to ask, is there a way I can zoom in and then have that be a picture that I can send to be printed? Thank you kindly for your help!
