For better or worse, I doubled down on a new EM-1 Mark III. I too am a major Oly fan. After using Sony and Nikon, I settled on Olympus for their size, weight, features and awesome lenses. They have been running crazy sales on their cameras -- too bad they don't offer the same discounts for their pro lenses.

Mark,
Think about buying now or watch for a sale. I bought an OMD-E M-10 Mark III and studied it for days before taking a trip. These cameras are complex and hard to master unless you are already familiar with them. FWIW, the kit lens is very nice when travelling, covering many shooting situations.

Good advice -- allow time to get familiar with a new camera before taking it on a trip, and Olympus is running some really good sales from time to time now.

I'm very happy with my Oly EM1 Mark II and Leica 100-400mm lens.

Thanks from me too. I may not post much, but follow UHH daily for tips, information, and inspiration. A biggie for me is finding out where not to shop for equipment, since reading UHH can cause GAS.

since the new models came out there are some good prices on the Olympus EM 1 Mark ll, the Panasonic/Leica 100-400 lens is still not cheap, but it is a fantastic lens for birding at 200-800 mm at 2X crop factor.
I second this combination.

I’ve got my asbestos underwear on so here goes. Olympus OM-D E-M1 mk3 with Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 and Olympus TC2.0. Gives you FF eq 160-600 f/5.6 in a lighter, better handling package. All IMHO of course. Rent one for a week or two from lensrentals.com you’ll buy it.

Do not know them where are they located. I live in De. Are they fair $ on there trade in pricing. As well as new purchase prices. Currently use Auorama. Now shooting with Canon SL2 with 16 to 300 Tamron zoom Need wide angle for community newsletter and zoom for travel considering small lighter Canon with wide and long zoom. Suggestions please
I usually buy only new stuff, but thought I would give KEH a try because of their reputation here on UHH. I am more than happy with the lens I bought from them.

Looks like a lot of us were printers back in the day.

I don't know what this is. It goes from one room through the wall into another room. It is at a former working newspaper office. Can someone help me to determine what it is, can it be safely removed, is there a valve in it.
It's a process camera, used to shoot line shots and halftones for the printing industry. Ortho film was used. The negatives were then used to burn plates for offset presses. The camera back uses a vacuum pump to hold the film in place. The lights could be wired to high voltage.

I’m getting a refurbished Olympus OMD E-M5II camera and I was wondering if any of the aftermarket battery brands are any good.
I have Wasabi batteries for my EM-10, and Kastar batteries for my EM1 ii, and have had no problems. I like the third party chargers since they don't have a line cord to deal with (easy traveling).
