Oly cameras are charming. I have had plenty come and go. I don't like NOT having at least one. Currently own a EM10iii. The intangibles just make them "funner" to use. -
Speaking of the Kowa R’s… If anyone is looking for a great taking lens option for anamorphic adapters the 50mm f1/1.8 can be had for cheap. $35 on average attached to a camera. There are adapters on ebay but i chose to go for a custom Leica M mount to keep it versatile. The 28mm, 35mm and 100mm have gotten crazy expensive due to cinema rehousing but the 50mm options are available still for cheap. There are also some rangefinder options but those require a bit more tinkering and i’ll save that for another post. -
I am having a lot of fun with the Blazar Nero 1.5x adapter and the ability to fine tune the look based on various taking lenses. For me it really is an underrated adapter and it’s nice to be able to have a compact form factor. i got mine for $500 barely used and am looking to pick up a second one for my B cam. I’m excited to try it out on the 5K mode my new Lumix S1R because it performs well on Super 35 with a little less wild edge distortion. I have a whole desk full of vintage taking lenses to adapt so i’ll post some results once I get things dialed in. 52mm rear threads make it a nice fit for older 60’s glass and I’m adapting Canon FL, Kowa R’s, Miranda and Yashica stuff from the early 60’s. The amber flare option was removed from sale pretty early so i’ve had trouble finding one. The blue flares are more common but gives mixed results with my mostly amber coated 60’s/70’s glass.

The original Olympus OM3 was one of the finest cameras I ever owned. Didn’t need a battery except for the meter (if I recall correctly). Even seeing “OM” brings back memories of long gone days… ironically given the debates about MFT, FF s16 etc, I sold it to get a Bronica MF. Anyway, sorry, totally irrelevant to the post. -

I may do a comparison on the blog about the E-M1X and OM1. The E-M1X is... different.
