Be Straight And Honest.
I also had the G9II with me at the league game and shot 323 pictures. All with the 100-400 to see how the G9II compares with the OM-1 with firmware update. The results of the OM-1: 203 images analysed, 9 of which were out of focus due to activated stabiliser […]
There was just a question about the stabilizer of the 100-400 and the OM-1 after the firmware update. Unfortunately, I had to answer the question involuntarily at the Freystadt-Plankstetten Bezirksliga – match. Not good. I kept getting completely blurred pictures like the one above. The exposure times were actually short […]
I went to two matches at the weekend, one in the Beszirksklasse and one in the Kreisklasse. In each case TSV Freystadt against SG Plankstetten. The game in the Kreisklasse ended 2:0 for Freystadt, both goals were scored in the second half, the 1:0 unfortunately by Benedikt Rupp’s own goal, […]
Whenever there are firmware updates, there are always problems with them and the usual advice is, to download the file from various sites and update via SD card. It’s much easier and everything is fine. And again and again people break their camera during the update. Here’s some background information. […]
Yesterday would have been a good day for a packet of popcorn. Read the reactions to my report in the forums. In the morning there was still wild anger and indignation, then as more and more people reported clear improvements, the haters became increasingly meek towards the evening and finally […]
The new firmware for the OM-1 was released yesterday. Officially, only the WiFi protocol has been changed. In reality, however, the entire AF has been rebuilt. And, note, the OM-1 has got the AF of the OM-1II. And, buckle up, better. When the OM-1II came out, I complained that the […]
Test & Wow is now available again in France. However, this is no longer done via the dealers, as it used to be, but directly via OMSystem. You have to pay a security deposit. This is done when you “apply” for “Test&Wow”. After one or two working days, the application […]
Since April 11th there are bugfixes for the three OM cameras. With OM-1 and OM1II you can change the WiFI for the connection to the cell phone from WPA3/WPA2 to WPA2. WPA3/WPA2 is set by default. As no end device that does not support WPA3 should receive the WiFi certificate […]
Anyone who has ever been to Rocksdorf will have seen that I have labeled lens back caps with “oly-e” and drawers with the contents. I’m a fan of label printers. When my old Dymo Pocket slowly gave up the ghost (at some point the display only showed every second line), […]
DPReview has conducted an interview. And since DPReview is no longer known for reporting too critically, Kazuhiro Togashi did the honors. The statements are not really exciting, but at least they are interesting: “Based on our research, the number of outdoor photographers is expected to increase or at least stay […]
This article was also written at the end of 2019 but never published. It’s always a problem with predictions, especially when they concern the future. But looking back, it’s interesting to see how people thought at the time. The Panasonic 35mm system is still alive, albeit not among professionals. The […]
I had already posted a few real-life pictures and a first impression at the FolyFos. Today I took the lens into the studio and – what can I say – the disillusionment was huge. Yes, the lens is crisp in the center even at f/0.95. The barrel is not very […]
