My Opinions of the OM-1 Mark II After 6 Months of Ownership

[@blakecraig]

Dewey, I absolutely agree the OM1 MK2 has brought the enjoyment back into my photography at an acceptable price point with fantastic image quality. Another enjoyable video by the way👍

I just picked up an OM1 MKII and gave my wife the EM1 MKIII. I haven’t used it enough yet. Compared to the EM1 MKIII, so far, I like the built in graduated ND and the expanded ND filter range (two things I was able to test). I also like the new menu which I think is better once I get the old menu out of my head. There is so much customization that my first day with the camera was all about assigning buttons and programming the custom modes. Hopefully I can get some more shots this weekend.

I really like the built in filters as well. They are simple to use and they give you many more options in your photography. Enjoy your new camera.

The OM-1 mkii is great. I use it for photowalks, whether in my neighborhood, in the country or in the city. I tend to use the 12-40 f/2.8, the 17mm f/1.2 or the 40-150mm f/4 with it. Separately, the 14-150mm lens is a great overall travel lens, and it's weather-sealed. May be a good with the OM1 mkii or the OM-5.

DXO Pure raw is fantastic for the noise 👌

[@Deweybing]

I agree

[@pluggednickels7321]

I bout the OM-1 for the pre burst feature for bird photography. But all the added computational stuff is just icing on the cake. Focus staking live composite actual usable handheld high res mode nd filters. Some of this Stuff that not even the big 3 6k flagships don’t have.

[@Deweybing]

I agree with you. The OM-1 MKII has some great features. The Big 3 need to take note and look at upping their game.

Mois aussi, Denis. Si vous avez l'occasion d'utiliser le 100-400 zoom... vous seriez étonné. C'est un objectif formidable!

@@lawrencebeck4777 oui j'ai déja vu des vidéos, mas mes moyens financiers, ne me permetent pas de m'en procuré un

Hello from Greece, good job my friend with a nice video from the american countryside, but as you mentioned grainy stills and noise is part of the game with that camera, so here's an advice towards your upcoming trip to Italy and Greece. There are tourists that settle with a good photocentric smartphone, which is quite adequate to them, but most of them carry an expensive ff gear in order to get the most oustanding stills and videos from the breathtaking sights of both these countries. Would you really risk to take back noisy and dark pictures to recall your once in a life time travel, i'm not so sure, and that to me sums up the problem with the certain camera

@@kast1727 You make a good point. The OM-1 Mark II has what it takes to get great travel images. The noise is minimal and is easily fixed in post. I have used my OM-5 on several recent trips and it has performed fantastically. The OM-1 is even better. Check out some of my recent travel videos to see the results. I recently picked up a used Leica Q and I am considering taking it with me on my upcoming trip.
