The Great Blue Heron
After shooting with Sony since 2012 (when I first started with mirrorless) I am in the process of switching to OM (formally Olympus). Before Sony I shot with Canon. Have traded in some of my Sony gear. So far I have picked up the OM-1 Mark II along with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS Lens, OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO Lens and the OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO II Lens. Plan to trade in more of my Sony gear soon and add another OM body and more lines. I do all of my trading and purchasing local with Gulf Coast Camera located in Pensacola Florida. Been dealing with them for years and the owner I have known since before 2012. He is always willing to work with me with my trades.
So fare I am enjoying this transition to the OM system even though there is a learning curve. Actually I have found it fairly easy. I know it’s only a 20 megapixel camera and coming from Sony 61 megapixel is a change. But for the type of photography I doing these days it’s just fine. To tell the truth I find it fun using the OM-1 Mark II with the smaller lenses compared what I was carrying around with those large Sony lenses. Have cut my weight down nearly in half.
