Is the sensor size argument just a distraction For some photographers, it would seem that the size of the sensor in their camera needs to be as large as possible. Full-frame cameras are, sort of, the bare minimum in terms of sensor size. Aren’t they? Not at all. Olympus/OM System and Panasonic Lumix Micro Four…
OM System have released a special version of the popular retro-style OM-3, the OM-3 Astro, adapted for astrophotographers. In essence, the integrated infra red filter for the image sensor has been changed in specification to optimise the light transmission characteristics of celestial bodies. While the standard OM-3, in the right hands, is capable of very…
Three revamped versions of three popular Micro Four Thirds lenses, the OM System m.Zuiko 17mm and 25mm f/1.8 II and the 100-400 f5-6.3 II.
You only have until 25th March! Last year’s Tell Your Story Program was a big success. It’s an initiative designed to help OM System discover and support new talent.

One of Olympus’ earlier Micro Four Thirds lenses, launched back in 2010, the m.Zuiko 9-18mm (18-36mm in full frame field of view) is a marvel in compactness and light weight. Its design is…
If a 400mm super telephoto (800mm in full frame terms) isn’t enough, OM System now has a solution; the new ultra tele m.Zuiko ED 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS. That’s a 300-1200mm field of view if you are shooting full frame. And you can use MC-14 1.4x and MC-20 2x teleconverters, if you wish. With the MC-20, that…
