    I took the OM1 Mk2 for a spin but was it up to the task? Is micro four thirds even a reasonable option for landscape photography? Watch this video to get my honest take.
    I met up with Brent to go on some landscape photography adventures in the Canadian Rockies, and it didn't take long for the magic to happen. It did however cost Brent a T-bone steak at The Keg.
    Double rainbows and anti-crepuscular rays make this a day to remember.
    Brent becomes a catalogue model so that I can test out my bazooka but he ends up being censored by the fun police for his crimes against glass.
    A new 'techno-rap' is born when Amanda wears her filters on her waist. You know she's great because she's wearing an ND8.
    Thanks for watching

    Nice to see you giving m43 an honest go. I've been shooting landscapes with Olympus for years and have been very happy with it. There is, however, zero rationale to shoot the mountain at f/11 when you're at 400 mm, especially with the extra dof that m43 gives you. And the on-board ND actually adds to the dynamic range; you can get more detail out of the shadows. You didn't even touch on the high res modes which can give you 50 or even 80 MP.

    Been shooting with m43 for years. Every camera system has advantages and disadvantages. I dread the thought of lugging around what Simon D does for bird photography. But I envy my buddy who shoot Nikon full frame when we do night stuff. I have always preferred the smaller size for hiking, backpacking, etc.

    Wait until you discover Live Composite for your Auroras, the Start AF for Astrophotography, In Camera Focus Stacking and Focus Bracketing (it will stack JPEGs but it will save the RAWs from the stack so you can stack them later), High Resolution in camera stacking for 80 MP (with RAW files) and Hand Held High Resolution in camera stacking for 50 MP. If you want to continue to try the OM-1 II the lenses I recommend are the Olympus 8-25mm f 4 PRO (ultra wide to normal, very sharp lens and it takes 72mm filters) and the Olympus 40-150mm f 2.8 PRO (one of THE BEST telephoto lenses and sharper then a Katana), both very light for the range it gives you at 410 grams and 760 grams. For landscapes that's pretty much all you would need.

    I had a OM2 Mk1 and Mk2 loaned to me -- i had it the camera and 4 Pro lenses for 6 months . For sport photography it was very good and the Pro Lens were top draw especially the 7 - 14 mm and 40-150 mm zoom lens . As you say that spot is great, cant go wrong , no walking just fall out of the car and set tripod up . As you i had a long zoom and a 1.4 converter --- and the Moon shots captured were incredible.

    I'm a olympus/om system shooter, I get om1 and om1 mk2. They are both great cameras. Om1 mk2 get some up grade that are very interesting, you had use the nd internal, but the are also the gnd filters, and the feature that I love in more is use HR shoot who provide 80 mpixel on the tripod and 50 mpixel hand held in 14 bit. And ther is another feature that I love, I can work on histogram before shoot, it's an old feature, I have this feature on my old omd em10 from 2014.
    Another strong point for the system are the lens, I get 8 mm f 1.8 fish eye, 12-40 mm f 2,8, 40-150 mm f 2,8 and the 300 mm f4. All those lens are pro lens and all are wonderful! Sharp already in full aperture. The only issued is that you have to remainde to don't close to much to don't have diffraction in your picture. The only lak for me is the video mode, I have 4k 30-60 fos 10 bit and nothing more, I was expected something more from the om1, but it is, anyway I love to shoot with this camera, and in our house me and my wife (we are both photographer) have a complete nikon collection with great lens... if you can try also HR function or the live composite in your night photo.
    Anyway I love your hasseblad!!!
    Good light man I fallow you frome sometime, sorry if I haven't wrote nothing before, but you, Amanda and all your friend are really great! Make some video again with Adam.

    Eyup Gavin, I've had an om1 for a few months now. Love it. I've been blown away by the fact that the body, a 9-18mm, 12-40 and a 49-150 only take up the space of my 5dmk4 and a 24-195 lens and still weigh less. Yes it's only 29 megapixels but I've printed off some lovely stuff. Ps the only issue I find is that in low light noise is sometimes a bit higher. So there I use the low iso 80 and there's almost none. I also go d the live Nd a fantastic idea. Great vid.

  • @3dtrip870
    @3dtrip870 2 часа назад +1

    One thing that you might not know about MFT: the depth of field is double, so f8 DoF is achieved at f4. The sweet spot for MFT lenses is usually around f4-f5.6, diffraction kicks in faster than on Full Frame, but you usually don’t ever need more than f11. MFT is particularly good for macro too; nice shots!

    So funny, I just spent 16 days in Morocco with an OM-1 MKii _and_ an OM-1 taking well over 2000 images. I took the OM Systems 12-100 F4 Pro -- so sharp -- lens and the Lumix Leica 50-200 F2.8-4.0. And yes, I think the sharpness of both of those tiny -- for their capabilities -- lenses could cut your hair ;-) I left both lenses mounted all the time so never had to change lenses unless I needed wider than 24 FF equiv. FWIW, I never go below F8 unless I'm needing sun stars on MFT. F11-F13 are diffraction territory for a sensor with that pixel density. Also, I've been using MFT for all the time I've watched your channel, so it didn't put me off.

    I shoot exclusively micro 4/3rds. It is so versatile and much lighter than my previous Canon full frame set up. Because of this I find I use it much more, which as a person with mobility issues is a great boon. The quality of the Pro glass is great too. I have had my work in numerous international and national exhibitions and have won many awards. it loses nothing in comparison to images taken on other systems.

  • @robertpanick2660

    A few years ago I was doing a workshop in Yellowstone in the winter. All the other photographers were messing with rain hoods, me I just went out and shot. Absolutely no problem. Later we were shooting around the geysers and hot pools, the workshop leader told everyone to keep their rain covers on because the salts are hard on the camera gear, which they are. My response to him was, no problem if I notice any spray I'll just pour some water on to wash it off, or rinse it off in the shower when I get back to the room. He just about had kittens :)
    A bunch of people have mentioned the high res mode, which I use most of the time. The good parts, 80 MP instead of 20 MP, absolutely no noise, increase in dynamic range, and it's all computed in camera. The bad part, if there is any motion, it can have motion artifacts. The Lumix G9 does a better job with that.
    The OM-1 is a very good general purpose camera that can shoot landscape, sports, wildlife, you name it. Is it as good as the Nikon Z8 or Sony A1, no but considering those cameras cost 2 and 3 times the price, it's something I can live with. Not to mention the lenses weigh half as much, and cost at most half as much. The 150-400 that you were playing with, goes for $7500 in the US, an equivalent lens with the reach doesn't exist, but it you went with prime equivalents in full frame it would be in the $15,000 range. That 7-14 is half the price of a 14-28 f/2.8.
    I enjoy your videos, particularly with Amanda and the others that drop in. I like the new slant you are taking, still the humor but just a bit more serious.

    A friend of mine switched to M43 a while ago and his images are every bit as good quality as when he was using a bigger sensor. I have been dabbling too and find it is all down to the glass; cheap M43 lenses are OK but when you step up to the pro range, which are not that expensive, the magic starts to happen. I have an OM Sys 12-40 pro ii and it is as good as any other lens I have used. Also just back from three weeks in Canada and experienced some of that epic light, and some torrential rain, and a blizzard. Just like being in Scotland, but on steroids. Love the country and the people; even found Snickers in the General Stores.

    I have been shooting with Olympus for a few years. I've used the camera and lens in a driving rain and no problems with water ingress.
    This camera system is good for a few different types of people. Wildlife photographers just really can't get anything else in another system with this kind of reach for the price of that camera and 150-400 lens. It's a great system for that.
    Of course you can use it for anything you want, but I do think that fashion, wedding, sports photographers should look elsewhere. Micro 4/3 has twice the depth of field of full frame at equivalent focal lengths and isn't good for closer up things where you'd want subject isolation or bokeh.
    Other than that, for a landscape photographer, hiker, or other outdoor photography, the weatherproofing and potential to save weight and size with this system is amazing. You used the heaviest camera body and two of the most extreme examples of the available lenses, but they also have a smaller, lighter OM-5 camera with the same resolution which has many of the same features as the OM-1. For lightweight lenses, they have Pro 8-25 f/4, 12-45 f/4, and 40-150 f/4 lenses (full frame equivalent of a 16-50, 24-90, and 80-300 respectively), which are smaller and lighter than just about anything you can get in a larger camera system, not to mention tack-sharp wide open at f/4, and all water resistant.
    Only downside might be the 20 megapixels, but to he honest, that's really all most people need, plus upscaling software has gotten very good. There are the pixel shift hi res 50-80Mpix modes that actually also increase dynamic range, which work ok but of course not as good as an actual high resolution camera.
    All in all a good system for people who can benefit from its strengths.

    im shooting for 14 years with Panasonic lumix M4/3, and in daytime its a great system, with lor light its harder to get some light. only check that tiny lightweight lens for a hike you can pict 5 more lensens with you. and on a tripot it shoots a big raw file in high resolution mode. the 2x crop is maybe sometimes handy in the tele perspective and in the wide its sometimes a bad thing, but overall I love my m4/3 its maybe the only real hybrid camera and best stabilisation and weather sealing system OM and LUMIX .

    @matthieuzglurg6015 2 часа назад

    Seeing the video on my feed, I was curious of what you'd think of the super resolution modes using pixel shift to spit out a 80MP image in the end
    I have an older Olympus E-M5 mark II (soon to be 10 years old !) and I use that feature quite a lot for landscapes, it's really handy if you want high resolution (except mine spits out 40MP images with no motion correction, the OM-1 not only corrects for motion, but you also have a 50MP hand-held mode that doesn't even require a tripod. Amazing stuff !)
    What I'm mostly using the E-M5ii for though, is not really high resolution (as I found that the 24MP of my Nikon Z6 are more than enough for the prints I do and the mount of cropping I do), but the Live Composite mode is extremely handy for like star trails, light painting and thunder storms, it's a really underrated feature and I don't know why no other brand (besides panasonic) is doing the same.
    It's quite puzzling to see so many things ion OMDS / Olypus cameras that ahve been exclusive to those bodies that other more "traditional" brands completely ignore. That makes those cameras really handy to have and use even if you happen to shoot with medium format or full frame cameras. + the small lenses make them quite unobtrusive to carry around in hikes.
    Underrated system to be sure ! Happy you gave it a fair shot, way too many people just dismiss this system because the sensor is smaller than other systems (even though it's not that much smaller than APS-C)

  • @jackpinoh
    @jackpinoh 3 часа назад

    I''ve left the OM-1 in jpeg as well when my prime camera was the Sony A7R5. Trying to shoot multiple camera systems greatly increases the probability of screwing something up . . . on both systems. Just sold the Sony system. You should try the OM System High Resolution modes: 50 megapixels handheld; 80 megapixels on a tripod. And in the high resolution modes, you gain two stops of dynamic range.

  • @jackpinoh
    @jackpinoh 3 часа назад

    For people worried about the low light capability of the OM system, note that 1) you can handhold the OM-1 at least two stops slower than any full frame camera (In-body stabiliztion is easier with a small sensor), and 2) you can open the aperture up two stops to get the same depth of field you would get on a full frame camera (f/5.6 micro 4/3 lets in the same amount of light as f/11 on a full frame camera). So while the OM-1 is at base ISO, the full frame camera needs to be four stops above its base ISO for the same exposure.

    • @robertpanick2660
      @robertpanick2660 Час назад

      Not quite, f/5.6 is the same amount of light regardless of the size of the sensor. You are correct that the DOF differs by 2 stops from MFT to Full Frame, but that comes from the focal length being half the length of full frame for the same angle of view.

    You can take photos of landscapes with most any camera, not every photographer makes a living in photography, many don't print their photos. But if you know how to use the camera properly you can take beautiful photos 📸 on the 4/3 system, lens choice is important. I have one question about your photo book, i live in the Hudson Valley of NYS , wondering how long from date of order till it ships.thanks...James Mlodynia.

    I have Fuji, Nikon, Canon, and Olympus. Olympus is the most fun to use and the menu system is the best.

    I move to Olympus in 2015 from all pro Nikon gear, and I just don’t see any reason for any format between m43 and medium format. Either do it all the way, or gain all the size/weight and features of a small sensor, esp. Olympus. You barely scratched the surface; try the high-res modes, incredible IS, and focus bracketing features.

    Gavin I can tell you for a fact that my Pentax K1 Mark 2 has a built-in ND filter unfortunately I cannot use it because it's behind a paywall which is absolutely ridiculous

    Gavin, don’t underestimate the reach that your videos have for your audience. So much of what you talk about can be translated to any camera system. I shoot with an iPhone only and my photography has improved greatly since I’ve discovered your channel a few years ago. Thank you for what to do and don’t ever stop.

    Hello Gavin, I have and use OM, Sony, Lumix, Canon, Fuji, and Nikon. My OM (Olympus) system with Pro lenses has a quality and sharpness that amazes me. The "Wow" factor has never gone away when I use OM1 and 300mm F4 Pro, even with extenders. So appreciate your experience with MFT. My respect for your work has grown 10 fold today. Well Done.

    This isn't a cheap hobby. Hate it when people start moaning about "oh you shoot with a camera that costs more than £1000 it's not relatable". Cameras in the pro bracket give marginal returns but if it's your business then it's always going to be worth the cost. For the hobbiest it's not but they are nice to haves. It is what it is. If you can't afford a pro camera that's on you. Save up. If you want one, like really want one, you'll make it happen. It's not all about the gear but man it feels good when you get a pro one 😂

    Sony used to have digital ND/GND filter apps available on their store back in the A7Rm2 days. Needless to say, they did away with both, and I never understood why. Theoretically, they should be able to change how long each individual pixel records data during every shot and produce a RAW file accordingly. It may require more computing power and destroy your buffer with each capture, but landscape photographers aren't shooting 30 frames a second. I've still never heard a reasonable explanation why that technology disappeared. If *Olympus* can implement it, why can't Canon? Nikon? Fujifilm ?

    You mentioned dropping a camera. I often wonder why you would hand hold a Hasselblad costing zillions of dollars rather than use a strap. I always use one-I have heard the argument that it might sway when the camera is on a tripod and blur an image but is there another reason? I would be too scared of tripping on a rock and dropping it.

    WTH was Amanda doing? Whatever it was, I LIKE IT. I've been intrigued by Olympus cameras since film days. But, I've never bought into their system. I prefer full frame. It's the sweet spot for me.

    But you know that the equivalent doesn't give a change in focal length at all, it just crops the frame? And yes, megapixels do better. And the size of matrix also does. For me the OM1 is a total failure.

    Started so well, then you started shooting on that unaffordable lens and completely blew the idea behind the vid. Oh and no need to convince me as I moved over to using the OM1 after 50 years of Canon FF shooting a while ago. It’s my view that great shots can be had with almost any modern camera and your video seems to support that view.

    At least you haven't sold your soul like Heaton has done. Since he has been "gifted" his £12,700 camera, his videos have turned into advertising, crappy van conversations and 1 or 2 images from the mighty Hasselblad.
    The man has lost his way, thanks to Hasselblad buying his soul. :-)

    Olympus are great but the shutter shock on Olympus and Panasonic ruins their cameras… and no the settings for electronic shutter are a pain in the arse. Shouldn’t need to use it.

      Never had a problem with this in years of shooting Olympus. The camera can also just be left in electronic first curtain shutter mode which eliminates shutter shock.

    • @BlazeFirereign
      @BlazeFirereign 3 часа назад

      The readout from the OM-1's stacked sensor is quick enough that there's little reason to use the mechanical shutter outside of flash photography.
