Seit heute gibt es ein Update für Excire Foto 2024. (Im Augenblick ist aber der Server hoffnunglos überlastet.) Folgende neue Funktionen gibt es:
Newsticker: Intermediate status bayonet
Because I’m reading a lot of speculation again: The number is in the works in Tokyo. They are taking it extremely seriously and have already made a lot of progress. It now seems to be the case that this is a single supplier who has delivered these “not quite so […]
Newsticker: Test & Wow in France
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 […]
Newsticker: Firmwareupdate OM-1,II und OM-5
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 […]
Newsticker: 150-400 with discount
Until 31 March 2024, OMDS newsletter subscribers will receive a €500 discount on the 150-400 – not a cashback, but an instant discount. Either in the shop or directly from the dealer. I had already briefly reported recently that such a discount was coming (because a whole batch of the […]
Newsticker: To older news
I have reported a few developments in the last few months where something has happened. So here is the latest news on these topics: The general meeting of the PIV is now over – it’s official, the PIV is being liquidated. Photopia in Hamburg will still take place in autumn […]
Newsticker: Influenza nonsense
Another newsletter came out today. “OM system ambassador Chris Poplawski presents his favourite functions of the OM-1MarkII”. As I’m about to finish the book about the OM-1II, I’m naturally curious to see if the specialist has found anything that I haven’t. So have a look. Here’s the link without all […]
Newsticker: Photoindustrieverband macht zu
Die Meldung ist vom 30.1. aber ich bin jetzt erst drauf aufmerksam gemacht worden. Der PIV, der Photoindustrieverband macht eventuell zum Ende 2024 zu. Er hat für den 11.3. eine außerordentliche Mitgliederversammlung einberufen, auf der die Liquidation nach dem 31.12. beschlossen werden soll. Der Verband ist 1948 gegründet worden, war […]
Newsticker: OM-1 discontinued?
No. Olympus/OMDS no longer actually cancels anything. Not for years. Did anyone realise that the 12-50 had been discontinued? Exactly (I tried to find out for my lens book when all the discontinued lenses were “discontinued”. I couldn’t find an official announcement for a single one, and even when I […]
Newsticker: Carousel horses are really bad
I often write here that you should photograph everyday things, who knows if they will still exist tomorrow. Houses. Forests. Fields. Glaciers. Rock formations. Pharmacies with politically incorrect names. Recently, there’s a new motif that’s doomed to extinction. Carousel horses. Or, more precisely: carousel animals. Riding on plastic and wooden […]
