    OM-D EM10 mkii - worth reparing?

    I think I'd be inclined to try for CGA cover, since it's a common issue, and the camera is only four years old. I guess it depends on how much use it's had in those four years? Otherwise, if you want a new camera anyway, maybe just put the money into a new model? Or, you could repair the camera...

    Bags and more bags

    For anyone unaware, there are clips available that slide over the aluminium glides on the V1 Slings to stop the creeping. They work very well. If your local Peak Design distributor or retailer doesn't have any, send an email to info@peakdesign.com and they'll be able to send you a set. I may...

    Focus point vs exposure point

    I could be wrong, but it appears that it works for me on both the E-M1.1 and E-M5.2. I'm using BBF to focus, then switching to manual and hitting AEL. I guess just focusing manually would be the same? Exposure is still locked (AEL icon still on screen) after full press of the shutter button...

    Changes to site subscriptions

    That's great, thanks. Definitely happy to keep it running. Others may also be happy with options to subscribe at a higher rate than $10 per annum, but not sure how to find a figure that would suit the majority of those wishing to do so. Could you keep the $5 a quarter, or was it not popular?

    Changes to site subscriptions

    I've just received a notification saying the "$5 Once Every 3 Months" option is no longer available. I guess I missed where that was mentioned. Does that mean the annual $10 irecurring subscription is the only recurring option now?

    what photography related item did you buy this week?

    This is something I've been meaning to pick up for myself. I'll also need something I can travel with, although it won't be going near a kayak (neither will I!). I really should do something about it.

    Changes to site subscriptions

    Last year I started the $5 annual subscription. This year I upped that to the $5 a quarter subscription, because I get so much from the knowledge shared here. I don't say much, and I'd contribute more to the forums if I could, but I'm still learning. The $ conversion is just an unfortunate...

    Photo numbering right out of the camera problem

    I had the same problem a while back. Quite a mess to sort out!

    Photo numbering right out of the camera problem

    From memory, where you set the PB1 there's a setting (I think) just above it called "File Name", which needs to be set to "Auto". At least, I think that's the setting that continues the file name consecutively without starting again with a card change/erase/format etc. Is that what you're after?

    Here is the OM-D E-M1 (mk 1) with the 40-150mm Pro attached, 12-40mm Pro is under it (with one of the bags Flex Fold Dividers protecting the lens), Teleconverter in a pocket at the end of the 40-150mm, and there's a spare battery in the pocket nearer the camera. Note that the lens hood is...

    I've just tried the E-M1 (mk. 1) with the 40-150 Pro mounted, and a 12-40mm Pro. It did fit, but not too much play. The teleconverter should fit with it, but didn't try. About to walk out the door but can have another look later if needed. The 10L would certainly fit everything required with a...

    Oops! I did it again.. I've backed yet another set of Peak Design gear on their latest Kickstarter campaign campaign. Quite liking the 'Sage' colour they've gone with, but might go for black with the packing pouches.

    Olympus OM-D E-M10 MARK III

    Not Manual Mode on the dial. On the control panel or in your settings (hit the Menu button, go to the gears and it's the top option AF/MF, at least on the E-M1 and E-M5ii) you'll see AF/MF etc. which is the Focus Mode. You need to be in MF or Manual Focus.

    Olympus OM-D E-M10 MARK III

    As above. Your camera will be set by default for Auto Focus (using the shutter button). You'll need to switch to M or SAF+M mode. Some lenses (eg. Olympus Pro lenses) have a clutch on the focus ring to switch easily and quickly to manual focus.

    what photography related item did you buy this week?

    An Olympus M.Zuiko ED 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6 II lens. Should hopefully make cruising and other such holidays a little lighter.

    Bigger eye piece for EM-10 ii?

    I've bought larger eyecups for my E-M1 and E-M5ii, but never direct from Olympus. I bought them from B and H along with a few other items, which brings the freight cost per item down. Main reason for purchase was to assist when using eye glasses. They work well for that. Haven't noticed any...

    I've also received the 5L Sling, although haven't yet had a chance to use it. I did have a quick test to see if it would fit an E-M1 with 40-150mm Pro with Teleconverter attached, and it fits without issue and of course spare batteries, phone etc etc all fit fine. Generally speaking though, if I...

    The elusive super-tele decision

    The only reason I'm not taking the 75-300 everywhere, is because I just can't be bothered for the little extra reach it gives me over the 210mm. I was thinking perhaps the 100-400 on my E-M5 ii would give enough extra to make it worthwhile? Especially with a bird sitting just out of reach...

    The elusive super-tele decision

    The thread now has me thinking. I have the 75-300mm, which I don't use often, as I usually have the 40-150mm Pro accompanied by the Teleconverter, attached to my E-M1. I'm thinking the P100-400 would be a better companion for the 40-150mm Pro? Primarily thinking of expanding for...

    There are ways to help stop triglide slippage, but having to mod something just to make it work as it should is not ideal. I've ordered a 5L to add to the collection, as it should suit on occasions where the 10L is a little too big.

    That'd work. The Peak Design Slings (either size) would easily fit in the 'Personal Item' category.

    Really good score! Luckily I missed that one. Not sure the better half would have been at all understanding.

    Show your bag (with contents)!

    And it's over $40 US to send to NZ. So, after conversion that's $2.88 for the bag, and $60 shipping. Heh. Maybe not.

    Hence my comment above "...it's not really the sort of thing you can do on-the-fly" In theory though, you could easily replace the strap with anything that fits through the tri-glides. It would be a different story if the strap was fixed to the bag, as is often the case.

    The strap on the Peak Design Everyday Sling can be reversed for use on the opposite shoulder. It only takes at most ~5 minutes but I guess it's not really the sort of thing you can do on-the-fly.

    E-M1 mk. I is still an awesome camera!

    They also tightened the lugs on mine when they replaced the rear dial. Hoping they used some kind of appropriate thread lock gunk while they were at it!

    E-M1 mk. I is still an awesome camera!

    Keep in mind that there have been issues with the E-M1 lugs becoming loose or even coming off. Just something to keep an eye on. Cheers

    E-M1 mk. I is still an awesome camera!

    I bought an E-M1.1 a couple of years ago and a Titanium E-M5II last year. They're both great cameras and I can't see myself changing them any time soon. I still have a lot to learn about them, and photography in general, but with a small collection of lenses ranging from kit to pro models I'm...
