I started to use Olympus gear in 2018, after many years using Canon. Although my very first camera was the previous OM-1.
Then I used Nikon for quite a few years before I changed to Canon.
My two main reasons for switching was weight and price. Although new Canons like R5 and R6 are quite light, the lenses are still rather heavy compared to Olympus/m.Zuiko. And the prices are quite different.
Of course I looked at full frame vs MFT, but for my use and my work, MFT works absolutely perfect.
So, what kind of gear do I have?
Camera bodys
My new OM-1 Mkll. An amazing camera with incredible specs and a lot of new features
I am also the happy owner of a PEN-F. I simply love this little camera. And I think it is one of the most beautiful camera of its kind.
