Be Straight And Honest.
…. Someone wants it, Professionals rent camera equipment if they can only do a job with it. That’s why there are companies that do just that: Rent out equipment. Lensrentals is a big player in the industry. At the end of the year, they always have statistics on what they have lent […]
I have already mentioned it several times. Most recently in November last year. The topic of sustainability. The brown cardboard box printed with environmentally friendly ink was sold to us as brutal progress and a sustainability report officer had now been appointed. That’s marvellous. They have obviously realised that they are overfulfilling […]
I can’t listen to it any more. Especially in the wake of the complete failure of the new products, people are constantly talking about the demise of OMDS. Even here in the comment columns. I also get emails about this and every time I write “look at the FolyFos, then the nonsense […]
I have seen a lot in the last few years, but what has happened in the last few weeks has a new quality. During the time Olympus Imaging still existed, there were regular firmware updates with new features for the top-end and medium-range models. For example, the electronic shutter and stacking were […]
Olympus achieved a breakthrough in battery technology years ago. And nobody realised it. Since at least 2019, the BLS-50 batteries have already contained a technology that permanently stops the self-discharge of Li-ion batteries. I have received a statement that reads as follows: With the aim of reducing performance degradation during storage in […]
Attention! If you buy original batteries for E-M1II/III/X new from OMDS, you should check the production date immediately. If they are older – some stock batteries have a production date of summer 2021 – then they are deeply discharged and need to be revitalised first. Charge, discharge, charge, discharge several times – […]
…. is being taken for a particularly hard ride. I received a friendly email from a bona fide OM-1II buyer who had unpacked his camera and now thought he could charge the battery. Uhh – nope. OMDS has saved various things in the OM-1II. and now also the power supply unit To […]
A few weeks ago, I brought up the idea of an “OM System Professional Photographer” club. And then – I’m not tired of life – I sent the logo and the corresponding idea quite high up to OMDS. Nothing came back at first. A few days ago I actually received an email […]
Mr Rymann announced it at a LiveTalk a few months ago: they are now working with a Dutch company that will convert the TG-7 and make it suitable for special areas. Three weeks ago I asked OMDS what the status was and was told that they had no information yet. Now the […]
As you may have heard, OMDS now only offers “Check-and-Clean” in Portugal. So please bring your camera to Coimbra and make an appointment beforehand. I haven’t yet found out how many pieces of equipment you are allowed to bring with you, but as far as I can remember it was always two […]
I thought I could give it a miss. Rarely has there been so little news, and I’ve already explained what in-camera gray filters are all about here. But I already have mails in my inbox saying “New products and no article at PAT????” Well, then I’ll add my two cents. 9-18. revised, […]
