I followed Jon and Andrew to Sekinchan for a day trip recently. Sekinchan is a fishing village and they have a paddy field (rice plantation) too, making the place really amazing for photography. I took this opportunity to do another POV photography, bringing you guys with me, showing what was directly in front of me as I took my shots. I brought along the dinosaur Olympus DSLR E-1 and a Zuiko Digital 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 II (lens borrowed from Jackie, thanks). This is also a continuation from my "old cameras are great cameras" series. You don't need trillion megapixels for good photography! You don't need to break the bank to enjoy photography.

The Olympus E1 and 14-54mm were my first DSLR kit. As of today I have purchased and sold my fair share of camera bodies and lens....But I could never sell my E1 and 14-54, the colors from that sensor are amazing.

[@hansa3580]

Just received my E-1, after 17 years, LOL! I'm using mine with a Sigma 18-50/2.8, and, I am really enjoying it, haven't had this much fun in photography in years! Really enjoy your videos, and, your enthusiasm! Thank you, sir!!!!

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

I recently bought an E1 and loved it so much that I sold my modern Sony A7C and bought a second E1 (also with the 14-52mm). I don’t feel the need for the latest and greatest; these old CCD cameras not only make shooting more interesting but I also feel deliver a result you can’t get with modern cameras.

[@r.l.7160]

It's so wonderful to see you outside! I bet your glad too.

[@philippedugout2278]

Fantastic trip and so nice shots, well done 👌👌👌👌

[@greyowl750]

So, your last E1 video made me go out and find one. I found an E1 in the box, under100 shutter and still has the film on the plastic LCD protector! Now, i need a 9 18mm, 14 54mm 50 200mm. On we go!

[@thaweepworadech]

Wow. I love that Kodak CCD.

[@estogaza1]

I love this kind of video Robin. I like the way you approch those strangers and it is nice to hear you sepeak in bahasa Malay.

[@1717jbs]

Great vid. Thanks Robin.

[@raymondchin3660]

Visited Sekinchan a year before the covid pandemic. Warm people, scenic padi field, vibrant fishing community, fresh seafood restaurants. All good subjects for photography. Please revisit Sekinchan. Love to see this beautiful community in pictures. Thanks for your works.

[@azjoe_6310]

This was a perfect example of what I have felt for years because I still have beautiful images taken with my original Rebel XT which was 8mp. The only thing lacking on the earlier pics was my lack of an L lens which I added later. To each their own but I personally I find it humorous when (like this morning) I read on a Facebook Olympus group somebody recommending a 20mp Olympus camera over a 16mp with the mp as the primary reason. Maybe others find a big difference but I don't.

[@j.s.talsma8499]

I love to see the E-1 in your hands again, beautiful images! I totally agree that a great camera from a while ago is still a great camera today. I own an E-1 with the 11-22mm lens. Thanks to the CCD sensor and the high quality optics, it still delivers great images. Unfortunately, at this side of the world days are grey, windy and wet now.... Let's hope for some real winter with snow and blue skies!

[@KK-yw1fj]

11-22mm is also a great lens on the em1

[@OoviokuoO]

How well has the battery held up?

[@neilcousineau4956]

Hi Robin this is the first old camera photo walk I’ve seen from you. Makes me miss my old E620. I sold that to help finance the EM1 mk ii. I just bought a used Stylus 1. I’m really liking the small size, super zoom and big aperture. Great video.

[@hansa3580]

I had an E-300, two lenses, because I couldn't afford the E-1. Enjoyed using it, but this is the one I really wanted. Olympus glass, top tier! When I "grow up", LOL, I want the 300/2.8; again, great video!!!

[@boronizer848]

Man, I could never afford the 14-54 when I started with Olympus FT back in the days. :) Beautyful Glas that is. Love to see how you shoot.

[@KK-yw1fj]

Still an excellent lens today. Works very well with the em1

[@sinclairforrest2178]

Great video! I’ve had my E-1 and 14-54 since 2005. Another great lens is the 11-22 Zuiko.

[@verablack3137]

I remember in the mid 2000s I was super impressed with the Olympus Camedia C-5050, it was almost as good as my SLR, but it had a f1.8 lens and an articulating screen it was only 5mp too. Olympus was doing some impressive stuff back then, even if I was more of a Minolta fan myself.

[@samanimeguy23]

The c5050 was first really expensive camera... Back then it was very good for what it was. I still have and use it from time to time. 😂😂😂

[@sinclairforrest2178]

Great video! I have had an E-1 since 2005, along with the 14-54 Zuiko. Another great lens is the Zuiko 11-22.

[@stevieb7121]

Really enjoyed this video Robin. Love the whole chilled vibe!

[@PMS1950]

Astonishingly good images Robin. It just goes to prove (yet again) that primarily, photography is about creating imaginative and original images, which clearly an elderly, but perfectly competent, 5megapixel camera with superb lens and in the right hands is more than able to achieve. I still regularly use my E-3 with both the 14 - 54mm and 11 - 22mm prime lenses with great results. I gave up obsessing about megapixels, lines per millimetre and street cred. etc, when I realised how much it impinged negatively on my overall enjoyment and creativity.

[@lvca.avellino]

Robin. Canon 5d m1 or Oly E1?

[@allegrosotto2126]

Fascinating area, thanks for showing it. Really interesting to see how you select from a scene. Gee, wish you could come back to Australia to enjoy the wide open spaces.

[@Animaduniversum]

I had the E-420 and loved it.

[@Shift2Movies]

Thank you for making this video! I have the same set-up you used, and I love the country side you visited!

[@deenugent473]

I've moved up from the Olympus E-520, to E-1 and now EM1-Mii. I sure hope the EM1-Mii will be good for another 5 years. Nice video Robin! Seems really hot for December my friend.

[@dougbcoulson8138]

Robin ... love your POV videos sharing interactions with strangers and some local food shots too. Also, your video has inspired me to dust off my 2001 Olympus E-10 for a future shutter therapy session - thanks, Doug

[@davidshinn9016]

Great Images Robin. I had an E300, also with a Kodak Sensor. I still miss that camera at times

[@XTJ7]

Nice video and the E-1 is still capable of taking beautiful photos :)

[@ceaabe]

Oh, these memories. I once had a 14-54mm II with a E-30 and it was a great combo.

[@jakebloomwood9406]

Really in love with idea!

[@mysteriousboozebunny6534]

I still use my E-420. I've got a nice little collection of lenses for it. 10MP is plenty, but sometimes I kinda wish it was a CCD, like this E-1.

[@asfanbujang6549]

Awesome E-1 .... a Kodak! Great video!

[@dougcooper4917]

Great Video Robin. Thank You.

[@Brightsparks1960]

I still have my E-1 with battery grip. It feels so right in the hand and built to last. Just goes to show that you can take great photos with 5.5MP

[@OoviokuoO]

How well has the battery held up?

[@arcoholic3]

Great vid - the pictures are lovely.

[@arrow501]

Great video Robin, thank you. I enjoy watching old gear being used to good effect. It would be nice to know if you shot jpeg or raw and how you processed the photos. People on a tight budget who buy old gear probably will not have the latest software such as lightroom.

[@diegodiaz5206]

Regards from Colombia Robin📸✌🏽

[@3DOM65]

I saw your vlog and I bought a Canon 20D,enjoy it every bit.

[@mechanicalslrlounge5138]

Just picked up my first digital camera yesterday, an original OM-D E-M5! I've watched tons of your videos and have become fascinated with olympus, many thanks! Just need to get an adapter so I can shoot with all of my vintage lenses. Cheers Robin :)

[@VictorReynolds]

Love the images Robin! I remember when the E-1 came out. Glad to see you can work with an older camera. Plus, you had the chance to get out of the city for a while. All the best!

[@DLD_Photography]

I still have my E-1 along with several other E- cameras. I entered a photo competition from Olympus and won a nice jacket with the E-1 emblem on it.

[@gabmilitao]

Great video, Robin. Amazing place too. I also had this lens for a few months, what a great quality zoom lens. Unfortunately ended up selling it for native m43 glass.

[@TroyKucks]

Just purchased that lens secondhand off of eBay this past week (the zuiko 4/3 14-54mm) - going to be paring it with my Panasonic LUMIX G2 - already have the zuiko 4/3 40-150mm lens purchased that this past last year also off of eBay secondhand.

[@MrJohnHimself]

I’ve just been gifted an E-1 from a friend who has had it for years after it belonged to someone he used to work with, looking forward to getting out with it and seeing how it performs

[@JosephStalin01]

I had that set-up back in 2003 - excellent camera and stunning lens. Excellent video as always - thank you. ps - I am still an avid Olympus user :)

[@peterreber7671]

Some really nice pictures.

[@roberthagstrom259]

Great video! I miss my E-500. Still have my 14-54 mk1. I will try to use it more after seeing this 🥰

[@anvarzoid2794]

Dear Robin, thank you for amazing tour. Please share what rawconverter app did you use and did you add saturation. So refreshing colours..

[@ridealongwithrandy]

That is why I still have my E500,love those CCD colors.

[@kenblair2538]

Wow ! Great video Robin. Great images of the fishing village. Yep, still have my E1. Was replaced with a E30 last year. Your blog on the E1, many years ago, got me started on that camera. I'm still in the market for that lens. There were 2 versions, which is best or does it really matter ?KB

[@Lordvader330]

I have an E-5 that I still use all the time. I have some amazing 4/3 glass for that camera including the 50-200 2.8-3.5 The color science on the camera is amazing. Your 14-54 is actually the Mark II

[@luzr6613]

That's the most cigarette packets i've seen in one place for years. Twenty Marlboro Reds are (equivalent) US$26 here (New Zealand). Those fishermen are LOADED!

[@robertjabara1003]

I like the idea of using older camera's. If you have kids it is a good idea to show them how to use the camera you no longer are using. My problem is that kids have great camera's on their phones. I really enjoy my higher MP camera's so I can crop the picture within the picture. With a lower MP camera I just have to make the picture I want without having to crop it. I bought a variety of old camera's for my grandkids, ordered the needed batteries and memory cards, and gave them a choice of two camera's each. Then had a picture contest. They enjoyed the prizes I provided and I enjoyed seeing their pictures. I still like to use the first digital camera (my wife bought it) a Olympus C-4000 4 megapixel camera. It still takes great pictures. Just don't rush it.

[@hetaumarecords7951]

I love your energy man

[@anatoliy9804]

Thanks! A where compare shoots from E1 and NX1, Canon ?

[@geriesandmann4485]

Hi Robin…astonishing pictures with my beloved combo E-1 and 14-54. Did you postproces the pictures because they are so razorsharp? Great video Robin. Thanks🤙

[@TechnocratiK]

That dynamic range is better-than-expected. Did you modify your exposure habits (e.g., to the left/right) because of shooting on a CCD, and if so, how? (Edit: Also, I'm loving this old cameras series!)

[@ralyn43]

Robin, I noticed that most of your photos are shot with the lens fairly wide open around f3.5. Wouldn't it be better to use a smaller lens opening for a greater depth of field especially in your scenics?

[@SamsonCBLau]

Just bought back this 14~54 II lenses in low prices, work with my em1x not bad. Maybe try to looking for e1 again.

[@RobShootPhotos]

Was the highest ISO 800? I felt like that was the highest on my E-500. I still use my 14-54mm and it seems to do pretty good on a 16 and 20mp sensor. I feel like it has a bit better contrast in comparison to the 12-40mm.

[@SuperZarkosis]

Highest iso is technically 3200, but 1600 and 3200 are extended and only really look fine when in black and white. The 14-54 and the 12-60 are wonderful lenses for the 43 system.

[@RobShootPhotos]

@@SuperZarkosis exactly! The color noise was pretty rough. It is interesting how different Olympus has taken lens design. Definitely better on the prime lenses now. I would welcome a MFT f/2 150mm lens. I'm glad they made a 40-150 f/2.8 over building another 35-100 f/2. However, those are personal opinions.

[@stevehallam0850]

Lovely camera. I still have my E-1 and 14-54mm mark 1.

[@johannesleyman2628]

Me too, since 2003. There was always something special with the E-1. Now I got a sudden urge to pick up my MMF-3 adapter and try the nice 14-54 again on my E-M1 Mk II (and the original E-1 kit as well).

[@mart872uk]

How long did Olympus use that particular sensor please.

[@JalanKesini]

I got 2 four thirds lens, 40-150mm and 18-180mm. I am quiet happy with the result combining with adapter to my EPL9. It was quiet affordable compared to rhe newer mft lens and still deliver a good result. Just slow in focusing and sometimes out of focus.

[@TheNarrowbandChannel]

Makes me want to get out my old E1s. I have two of them still.

[@robinwong]

Get them out and play!!!!

[@TheNarrowbandChannel]

@@robinwong Ya I have been thinking of doing an astrophoto and video about it to show that even with a very old camera you can do astrophotography.

Om review Olympus omd m10 yg pertama

[@jshanni2066]

Excellent ! I have an E300, bought cheap in a second hand store, purely for the Kodak sensor. Do you play with the colour channels in the raw files, or just adjust overall sharpness , exposure, etc and use the colours as they come off the sensor?

[@khellstr]

Thank you for your great videos. I didn't find any review of M.ZUIKO 7‑14mm F2.8 PRO. Did I miss it or maybe there isn't one? And I like to say that Olympus... sorry OM-Digital Solutions have the best service in the world. I send my old E-M10 (Mark I) there, which I have dropped to ground few years a go and they send me a brand new E-M10 Mark IV !?!?!?! This all for 160 Euros. I paid about 400 euros for the Mark I in 2016, and Mark IV seems to cost 600-700 euros now. So quite good deal. I wont change the brand, even if the brand changes :D

[@leckywoznicki5393]

Thank you.

[@ridaali4601]

are these pics are straight out camera or you edit it

[@vitaliypavlenko5737]

I have e500 and e1 (only few weeks), and zuiko 12-60 2.8-4. I think results if convert from Olympus software is a bit better than Lightroom directly. Then editing in Lightroom. What is your procedure for converting ? C1 ? If you use Olympus software what are your settings for sharpness, contrast, etc ?

[@stevengahr6660]

Hi Robin, enjoyed your images. Were you shooting raw, or were the images directly out of camera? The images were a lot cooler than the scenes in the video. I liked the more blue images, just wondered if that was done in post or came out of the camera that way.

[@mateuszwnuk9136]

Robin, do you know if the base ISO in Oly DSLR was 200 or 100? Did it depend on particular models?

[@klausschroiff4405]

The E-1 has/had a fantastic asymmetrical design. I never understood why Olympus departed from this concept. The real estate on the left side of the viewfinder is useless. Because it extends more to the right, the grip can be much larger, too.

[@wuming9151]

[@ronmann7395]

[@ColonelScottMorris]

I’m very sad my E-1 has developed a sensor fault. Whenever I’m editing photos from other cameras I’m trying to make them look like I imagine the E-1 would have taken them. Such lovely colours from it.

[@GarrettLucasWV]

You're kind of like me with living in the past with old Olympus Cameras. I've got 4 E-1s, an E-520, An E-30, and two E-5s and I have all the high-grade and super-high grade lenses except the 300mm F2.8. Even though I have an Em1 MK II, 1DX and an R5, I find myself carrying one of my old Olympus 4/3 bodies most of the time. For some reason, I get more pleasure out of shooting them than the modern cameras. My favorite of course is the E-1 matched with the 14-35mm F2. Give me an E-1 and those fantastic colors from the sensor and I'm as happy as can be.

[@luzr6613]

Why is this? I love using these dinosaurs too (E-1, E-300, E-620, E-5). Hard not to conclude that there's something i'm just not getting.😅
