The Olympus OM-1 goes full frame OM

[ArashM]

I find the timing for this article pretty funny, 

I was recently re-working a few files from my old E-m1x and was reminded of how much I liked the look and feel of them, Yes they are technically inferior to the current generation but there is something about them.

So just picked up an OM system brand Olympus OM1 and 12-40 this past weekend..... waiting for them to arrive from Japan!

I had one for a while and whilst I didn’t much care for the video compared with my full-frame Lumix at the time (S1H), I did like the stills files, but most of all, the form factor; the weight, ergos, build and sheer ‘rightness in the hand’ of the thing.

Also the lenses, both the fast primes and the zooms.

If I was ever going to do 4/3rds, it would be the OM-1 without having to think about it.

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

The E-M1X is... different.

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.
