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 on the […]
OM-1 and 100-400 and IS
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 enough (1/640s […]
District Class: TSV Freystadt II – SG Plankstetten II
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, shortly after […]

OM-1 Firmware 1.6 New AF
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 subject recognition […]
Outdoor is a matter of definition.
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 the same.” […]
The future of Four/Thirds
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 E-M1X was […]
