Just paid for an E-M1 bought from a forum member at a very reasonable price and low shutter count. The last one I bought from another forum member had close to 50K on it and I put another 16K before the shutter started sticking in moderately cold weather. Need to learn how to lube a shutter or take it to a 3rd party shop to see what it costs to do.

I just got a Sirui B-00k head as a mini ballhead replacement for the one that came with my Benro Slim tripod. I'm quite impressed with this little guy.
I purchased another quick release plate that did not need a hex key to attach and that makes the head easier to use. I will have to buy a few more of them.

I purchased mine from here, got two but one was machined the wrong way up. There is a picture of it somewhere in this topic

Couldn’t resist an EM10 Mk 2 body in silver at SRS Microsystems at £229 - going rate at other dealers is circa £350
Offer extended until 03-12-19 if anyone is interested - absolute bargain - I have an EM1X and G9 at the mo so this will be a nice small carry around with a single lens attached

The unbelievably cr*ppy service by the Finnish postal service costed me 300 EUR! They got my E-M5III to less than 20 km away from my home last Monday. Then the package waited in their facilities for 3,5 days and on Friday they finally claimed to deliver it to me (btw, it was sent as a priority package!). Then I was sitting by the windows all day long waiting to get my hands on the camera and then at 4.08PM the tracking service had updated the status: "Delivery failed because the recipient wasn't home or there was an obstacle at the yard that prevented the delivery"! WTF?!!

So... I got so p***ed off and by accident (or was it fate?) happened to see a Black Friday ad for the E-M10ii + 14-42mm for 300 EUR so I decided to go for it. I wouldn't have bought it but as my mind was already set on shooting at the most important event of my photographing career (more on it later) on Sunday with the new camera I thought there was no way in **** that I'd be shooting the event with my old E-M5s.

And obviously my E-M5iii arrived on Monday... One day after the event. :dash2::dash2::dash2:

PS. I shot the event with E-M10ii as the main camera and E-M5 as 2nd. I'm glad to say the E-M10ii outperformed the E-M5 in every way. Well... Maybe the custom grip on my E-M5 felt nicer than the E-M10ii without any added one but I'd still go for the E-M10ii anytime. And due to this I've already sold one of my 2 E-M5s and will be putting the other one on sale as well.

I bought a grip for my GX80 from eBay. 50 Australian dollars. The frame fits the body well with access to the battery and card. Excuse the PD dual plate.
