A blog article with this topic here: robinwong.blogspot.com/2022/0...
After much consideration, I have decided to quit my position as an ambassador for Olympus/OMSystem and I am announcing this officially through this video. I am thankful for the opportunities Olympus had given me over the years, I had a great working relationship. Since the JIP/OM Digital Solutions takeover things have not been the same, and I explained in detail in this video why I felt sidelined and completely ignored as their ambassador. Therefore, I decided to quit and it is time to move on!

You, an Olympus visionary in Malaysia, are literally the reason that I, an American, bought into the system. You've taught me so much about my camera, I think they underestimated the reach of your channel.
And I as a Norwegian!!!
And I as an Argentinian!
And I in Portugal. You and Peter Fosgard made more for the brand than the brand itself.
And I as a German.
Me too from Thailand
Thanks for the overwhelming show of support and love, I appreciate each and everyone of you being here.
I have just replied to 150 comments on my Facebook Page, a few dozen comments on Buy Me Coffee and my blog and a few dozen emails. That took almost 3 hours of my time today. And I have not even started to look at the 700+ comments here (at the time I made this comment)!
I will have to continue my response tomorrow, and catch my breath for now. I will get to you as soon as I can, but thanks so so so much for staying with me. I could not have asked for a better audience.
Thank you for your channel and what you do! Your professionalism and reactions are admirable in this video. I also had fun learning a lot about your photo/career history 🙂
Sad story, but happy to hear you will keep being with us with your pleasant and useful videos. Good luck for all your next projects!
Please send this to OMD so they can see the support you bring to OLYMPUS and now OMD..
I am gobsmacked!
Without doubt you have been one of the primary reasons I have stuck with Olympus over the years this started with your earlier, really informative and well-written blogs / reviews stretching back to the early days of four thirds. You were the go-to source on using Olympus.
It is really sad that OMD Solutions are not supporting you, it might be a new management with new ideas of publicity but a wholesale change of ambassadors is like throwing out the baby with tha bathwater! Poor thinking on their behalf
I look forward to your next Video.
Good luck and good move! Love to see some coverage of Blackmagic and the GH6 from you
Your integrity and loyalty is GOLD. A rare quality these days.. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO PROMOTE THE MICRO FOUR THIRDS FORMAT AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPHY!
You and David Thorpe were the people who made me decide to buy my first (Olympus) camera. I think that JIP (OMDS) do not even realise how important you as an OM photographer are at a macro level, not only for marketing and promotion, but also as an inspiration. Thank you.
I very much miss his reviews and style.
My blood boiled seeing you going through all these trouble. You deserve better.
What happened? Sum it for me please
@@thelonesoldier4518 Maybe you should watch the video!!!
@@alanwainwright79 people are so uptight these days you can't ask for a favour
@@thelonesoldier4518 OMDS basically ignored him and didn't provide the information and materials he needed to conduct his job as ambassador for the brand.
@@HokKan thanks bro
Sorry for your frustrating experience! I don't blame you for no longer being an ambassador. I've appreciated your videos on Olympus. You're the only youtuber who has been able to explain my camera to me (E-M10 Mark III). You're a great teacher. Thanks!
I've lost words... you are my brother in arms mate. Good luck and the future is always bright. Don't be a stranger though when we call you for our next M43 meeting. Hey, I am still gonna come to KL for a photo therapy session when the world is opened again. Love you bro.
your review on 12-40mm f2.8 brought me to this M43 world
Hey Robin, I usually don’t write comment on RUclips videos, I’m just one of those persons who watch the video, leave the like and goes on. This time I wanted to stop and write down a few words for you. First of all, I’m sorry for what you have been thru, and I think you did the right thing. Secondly, (but not less important) you are the primary reason that reignited my passion for photography (as a hobby) , your content and your passion are a blessing !! and when you upload something new, I can’t wait to watch it. I’ve learned a lot of things from you, (i did my first thunder shot thanks to one of your video) and I’m sure I can still learn a lot. And you can’t even imagine how powerfully motivational is your “Go out and take more photograph” to me. It doesn’t matter what your future is going to be, this guy will always watch Robin Wong videos.
Well said! 👏
A You Tube stalker you mean - not giving any support
when the embargo was lifted for OM-1 reviews, i myself was surprised why you were not given a review unit of the OM-1, considering your unquestionable mastery of Olympus cameras. I feel sad about this turn of events, but at the same time relieved also that you acted on this situation pretty well. In my mind, i think JIP took you for granted, same with Jimmy and Peter. It seemed to me that the new company prioritized some ambassadors. You have tremendous knowledge about photography and Olympus cameras, and i own Olympus cameras also and that's why i'm always watching your youtube channel. Best regards on your future endeavors, Robin!
Agree. You can see that other Olympus Visionaries left OMDS (or were not renewed) as well. It's very easy to decrease stipends but maintain engagement and offer that option to the Visionary, but this sadly is one area where OMDS is not doing a great job. Kelly L Cox wasn't renewed last year and her high-impact but low-volume content, along with your extensive RUclips content were reasons why I added the Olympus system this year (despite having a GFX100 currently and having shot FF since 2008).
@@AlanBCDang @joseltp reading some of the comments I think I'm beginning to see a bigger picture? I know Joe Edelman voluntarily (?) left too... Looking at all the remaining ambassadors it seems like OMD/JIP are **really** pushing the outdoors/adventure/wildlife/birds market? There doesn't seem to be any room for the street photographers (which all the advantages of the stabilization and small form factor would make it a good option for street people).
I didn't really notice it until now because outdoorsy stuff is kind of my photographic focus too.
They seem to target the under 35 market. You know, that underpopulated demographic with less disposable income.
@@RoderickJMacdonald they are targeting wildlife/adventure photographers not sure that’s the under 30 crowd.
@@greysuit17 Perhaps. It would not be the first time that I am wrong. My impression is that the "influencers" on RUclips who have received the OM-1 for review are younger than 35. I prefer independent reviewers such as Geert Mørk and Hugo Rodriguez who are on the other side of 35 and work hard to understand gear before opining about it. Still more, ambassadors of photography like Robin.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. You have contributed a lot to my understanding of Olympus cameras.
It’s like watching a relationship breakdown video. You can’t help but feel the personal tie, the investment, the passion (over blind love)and history with the brand. Your content and enthusiasm made me jump on the Em1 Mk1 and my first Oly lenses around 2014 and along with the likes of Jimmy Cheng and Peter Forsgard; it kept me feeling that I’m getting an objective assessment of the system - limits, frustrations and all. I noticed you and the others were silent at launch vs a host of new voices on the OM1 body - many of whom I’m not even sure have held an Olympus for more than a few hours. The content was with a few exceptions more like a series of unboxing videos full of hype. I’m on my 4th generation of body and about 9 Olympus lenses in. Honesty, objectivity and passion are what the paid media and marketing team in OM Systems need to value rather than just commentator reach. I loved your lens reviews and as a hobbyist switching would be a tough call so its also refreshing that you didn’t jump on the “Oly is dead, look at this instead “ bandwagon. You can add “integrity” to that list of qualities. Keep posting your content ! (and the same for Jimmy and Peter if they are reading this :) )
This move is going to hurt OMDS in Robin’s region but also in other English-speaking markets, as Robin has been one of the few dedicated online Olympus product reviewers and instructors, not just on RUclips but also blogging and even in-person events. I purchased my first of two E-M1 IIs and in particular a Stylus 1 thanks to Robin’s detailed and compelling demonstrations of what those cameras (and really, the whole system) can do. Robin goes beyond reviewing and driving sales of camera gear, to promoting photography as a way of life and looking at the world, which is what the camera industry needs most right now.
A terrible and unacceptable lack of respect for someone who has done so much for the brand. You quitting is logical, although regrettable. No one with any self respect would put with this kind of treatment.
I have learnt so much from you about Olympus and I wish you luck in all your future projects.
This doesn’t come as a surprise for me, especially following your most recent vlog posts, but it still makes me slightly sad. I’ve always seen you as a kind of extended marketing arm for the Olympus company, and a pretty successful one, that is. You provided additional information, and interesting unique content, that Olympus wasn’t able to provide via their official marketing channels.
I wish you good luck in the future, wherever it will make take you!
Malaysian here.
At first I used to wonder whether I should invest into MFT system confidently especially here in Malaysia. But your videos over the time sold me Olympus brand and I have invested heavily into their bodies and lenses. I am always grateful to you Robin.
I’m glad you’re still going to produce these videos. I always enjoy them and have learned so much. Thanks!
You gotta love this guy! Robin is so very genuine. His passion, his heart and love for Oly , is so comforting. Thank you Robin!
Very disrespectful to you, Robin. I feel sure you are personally responsible for selling thousands of Olympus cameras and lenses. I know I chose Olympus after watching your videos. Keep the passion and keep posting videos. We are all grateful for your hard work 👍
Found you late in my Olympus life which began in the mid 70's with my first OM-1. I enjoy your enthusiasm.
The ultimate ambassador, Robin Wong, noble and loyal at all cost. He is the Ned Stark of photography.
Well put Robin, sorry that you've been treated in this way. Glad to hear though that you are not giving up your RUclips channel work which is much appreciated.
Completely understandable Robin. Your loyalty is commendable and I’m so glad you are still going to be around. With some luck OM will realise their mistake but in any case I look forward to your future content.
Sorry to hear. I have seen so many of your Olympus videos and they have kept me motivated on being a proud Olympus photographer. Hope this move will be good for you. Thanks for all the videos!!!
I can completely understand your frustration. I always love your contents and your energy. All the best for your next chapter and please continue to make some awesome contents
Hello Robin.
I have been thinking for days about sending you this privately but I think this video is the perfect opportunity for me to declare this in public. I purchased an Olympus EM10 Mark II in 2016. After struggling for weeks with the hellish usability I neglected it. After discovering your channel I have reconected with it big way and have fallen back in track (and in love) with my photography journey and with the joy of shutter therapy and taking pictures just because it is a fantastic activity to invest time in. And this is all thank to you. The micro 4/3 community is pretty tight and generous as it is but your knowledge and educational talent in helping others build their paths as photographers is something we all need to thank you for as it is legendary. Starting with Olympus itself. You have helped more people than we can even start to count become better photographers, fall in love with photography or learn about this field of knowledge. All of this for free. So in behalf of all those people: thank you. Thank you for always sharing your passion with such joy and for being extremely generous and supportive always. It is people like you that with this amount of passion and generosity make the world a better place with their actions and not only with words. If you would charge for your content, with the quality and quantity that it has, there is no way in the world I would be able to afford it. And like me, many more people who I am sure are becoming wonderfull photographers all over the world. Because of you. So many of us consider you a teacher and a role model. I hope you know that. ❤️
Very well said. I just posted my 1st comment in Robin Wong's channel same like u for this video.
I am very sad to hear you have been grossly mistreated by the company. Your insight, professional knowledge and passion for photography especially with the olympus system are exceptional. All followers in this channel learn a lot from you.
Robin, you have solved so many of my problems over the past 2 years. Thank you. So sorry you have been so badly treated. Please please keep making the videos
As your 'visionary' chapter ends, I look forward to watching the new chapter evolve.
Your passion for photography is contagious, your honesty and integrity a breath of fresh air.
Thank you for the last few years Robin, let's raise a virtual glass, to whatever you have planned for the future.
That's bad news for OMD Solutions, you and the other ambassadors represented a very high value for the brand and the Olympus users. I understand your decision and hope for the best !
Sorry for your loss. Dont let Olympus stop you from doing what you love! Just suck it up and move on.
Big fan of yours.
Now I have subscribed to this channel finally. Robin always was, and still is a very valuable reference when it comes to MFT photography. Keep up the good work, you will go your way no matter what!
You contributions have been by and far one of the best to encourage my photography.
I wish you all the best in the future and will continue to view your commentary on photography.
Robin, I'm located in Ireland, and love your M43 and general photography knowledge. "Things may change but your standards must remain".You were right to depart and be free to share your knowledge and insights on many systems..
i just found your channel and i thought i would be abit too late after reading the title. good to know you're still gonna continue. looking forward to learn more from your videos!
Thanks for all your blog posts and videos. You've been an inspiration for me and my use of all my Olympus gear for the last 10+ years.
Hey Robin. I was commenting on the same things you pointed out. EVERY REVIEWER IN THE WORLD got a OM-1 for testing but you, Jimmy and Peter. That is super weird.
You have behaved properly and did the right thing. Because others can't see the wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm that you, Jimmy and Peter have given doesn't matter. Appreciate your honesty and dedication to this system and this channel. Hopefully, one day I will come to KL from Europe and shake your hand.
Robin I am glad you have been released and are free now. Look forward to your future videos even more. Your the best! Thank you so much for your passion and zeal for photography and the best systems.
Robin - you’re a legend! I found your channel when I bought an EP-3 years ago. You’ve been my go-to ever since. Some people have a lot of knowledge but teaching it is a completely different thing. You have both abilities. Thank you so much. The measure of a brand is how it looks after its people, the reflects very poorly on OM system. All the best, I’ll keep watching!
Robin, you’ve done such a great job over the years. I’m sorry this happened to you. Keep your head up and keep up the amazing work. I can’t wait to see what you do next
Yeah, that was so bizarre to see everyone BUT go-to MFT squad to get the OM1 cameras to review.... I completely understand your decision and will continue to watch and trust your expertise! All the best in the next endeavours!
Robin, I hope you feel the love of your followers. I can say that you were a huge part of my decision to buy into Olympus and I have watched your postings through the years. Your enthusiasm, realism, and loyalty to a system that you have fully believed in have been greatly appreciated by those of us who have followed you. When Olympus announced the sale of their camera division to JIP, many of us were worried that this was the end of the line for a system that many of us grew to love. Like others, we looked to your input to get reassurance that this system wasn't going to become obsolete. I know that directions change in business and that sometimes good people get left out as a result. Hopefully, you will not take that personally as you have a huge following and many of us will continue to look to you for your advice, insight, and expertise. I love seeing your side of the world as you tell it through your photography. You have such a great eye and we have all been blessed to have been able to take this journey with you. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Good things will happen, regardless of what direction the wind is blowing. Stay true to yourself and your love of photography... that is why you have such a great following. Thanks again for all that you have done for both me personally and for all of the people who you have influenced with your words, enthusiasm, and of course, your photography.
Sorry for how things have turned out. I watched, and will continue to watch, your channel because it has really helped me in developing my photography, using Olympus cameras and lenses. Many thank and good luck in your future ventures.
Robin; it is their loss; move on with your future ventures.
I’ve watched your movies many times from Japan. And I’ll keep watching your channel. Thank you so much.
Robin you are one of a kind. You have a unique gift for teaching and are a primary reason that so many of us enjoy doing what we do. You deserve so much more than you were given and I am so sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t more fulfilling. Wishing you great and continued success in all of your future photographic projects and adventurous!
I initially came here for Olympus content; stayed for Robin's expertise, charisma and philosophy regarding photography, along with his great content.
Thank you, Mr. Wong!
As some here have already said, your channel in Malaysia inspired me, living in Guatemala, central America, to buy and use Olympus gear and later to improve as a photographer.
Please keep your channel up and going! You'll have our full support!
Thank you for everything you have taught us over the years.All of us are with you.Once again,thank you very much Robin Wong. ☘🌴🌍🙏🏼.
All support to you Robin ! No matter the brand, i will wait for next videos. 👍👍👍
Thanks for all the content you've produced over the years and glad you're continuing to educate!
sorry to hear. during the pandemic your videos taught me how to use my EM5 II and understand photography more fundamentally. I will continue to follow
Phew… 😅 thought you were quitting youtube… A fresh start is always a good thing…. Look on the bright-side, now you can use all types of brands without being tied to one…🤷♂️🤞
Glad you are continuing to support MFT Robin. You are the reason I bought my OMD 5 Mark 3. Maybe now you can tell us more about Panasonic lenses on Olympus cameras. Yes, for me even the new stuff that is coming out will still be Olympus stuff. Thank you and keep up the good work. From South Florida, "Let's do this".
So sorry to hear you have quit. You have been very helpful for a newbie to photography
Best of luck moving forward Robin! I thoroughly enjoy your blog, tips and reviews and will continue to support you. We camera buff Robins need to stick together!
The way I see it, and this is just my opinion, is that Robin is a true professional. He does not switch brands as the wind blows as a lot of others because he knows his tools and how to use them.
I don't think Robin cares about what hear we use because I always understood from his videos that the most important thing is to take photographs, and to me that has always been the core of the shutter therapy videos.
If this is true, the rest of us should also not care about what gear Robin is using. Brand wars is a thing that is not resulting in any good in my opinion.
But it's sad to see omds not seeing the value of people like Robin, Peter and I think there is others out there too who has not or choose not to renewed their contracts.
Glad to see Robin will still be around doing what he does best 😃
Nobody can accuse you of click-bait. When you say something in your title you mean it. Looking forward to more from you Robin--sorry for the difficulties.
You are an awesome and honorable person, thank you for what you do. I too have had the experience of a company I worked with not appreciating or returning loyalty... you handled this unfortunate (or fortunate) situation with both class and professionalism... and that is a lesson in of itself that often get's left out of our education as photographers. So again, thank you for what you do, and the wisdom you share. I look forward to what the future brings...
Thank you, Robin. You have helped me over the years. I'm glad you will continue even though you've been treated poorly by the new management. We will still be watching.
I want to congratulate you for the way you decided to quit, as a professional in all aspects
It is a pretty that OMSYSTEM didn’t consider you as an ambassador. You have given us excellent reasons to consider Olympus as a professional camera showing the main advantages of the system
I believe OM is loosing a tremendous professional.
I hope you the best and of course I continue following you
Keep it up robin! Love your channels.
This is very sad. I learned a lot about my camera from you. I hope you continue. I will still follow you
so sorry to hear how you have been treated , I will still follow you on this Chanel , thanks for the info over the years ...
I'm glad that you are sticking around. I plan to buy the OM1 just in case. It might be a little bit better.
Hey Robin! I'm sorry to hear they are treating you like that. I used to shoot with Nikon, then Panasonic, but am changing over to OM because of your videos. I'm not saying it's the better system but even without holding the camera in my hand I feel like I understand it better than the other cameras I have used because of how well you explain every feature and technique. I enjoy the other reviewers but you are the authority in my opinion. You should get the first prototype in your hands because I think feedback from you pre-launch would help the company. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for us. I can't wait to see what you do next.
Agreed.. Robin and Peter have been some of the most supportive of Olympus products.. Also the most informative.
Dude... you're one of my go to regarding Olympus products for review, etc. Well, hopefully the new adventure still a 4/3 cuz I'm into and already in love with this format he he
So sad to hear this, as your videos have kept me informed about Olympus cameras. I also went to school in Malaysia and I love seeing KL in your backgrounds!
Ey man whatever u do don't give up in yt man. Cuz ur video is inspiring!
It's for the best. I'm happy and excited for you reviewing other brands and other gear. Your opinions are sincere and respectful. I will stay watching your videos
I stopped buying Olympus gear 2 years ago when the E-M iii was released with 20 megapixels. It convinced me that micro 4/3 was going nowhere. Now with the way OM treats it’s so called ambassadors it just cements my view. It’s a shame as I still love using my E-M1ii and I will continue to use it along side my fuji gear.
I did not buy a Mark III because there was no new sensor, not necessarily because of the megapixels. To me that wasn't the upgrade it should have been. As I read the specs for the new OM1 I think. Oh my goodness! This is what I wanted. The Mark III to have been. I will eventually get one.
@@Smoothblue90 exactly right. Same sensor in iii. So what was the point upgrading. I also remember the ii received firmware updates improving focusing to the same level as the EM1X. Another reason not to upgrade.
Thank you so much for still being you, this is one of the reasons I started watching your vids, reading your blogs and following on socialmedia.
You are rock solid straightforward without bs. When I brought my share of people into using Olympus, my get to go "watch these channels" always have yours on top of that list. I wish you well your future endeavors and looking forward the upcoming content!
Thank you for all you have done for both Olympus and Micro 4/3's photography. I became a user thanks to you and your reviews, guidance, and boundless enthusiasm. Glad you are continuing.
They have not treated you well. I’m sure you will go from strength to strength without them, I wish you the best of luck in all your new ventures
Hey Robin I'm sorry to hear that your relationship as a Visionary has ended, but glad that you will continue with the Olympus/OM brand. I've found your videos very helpful in learning to use my Olympus/OM equipment and camera features. Your clear and honest evaluations are refreshing.
Thanks Robin, You've been an inspiration. It's just so sad and frustrating that the world of corporation undervalues and ignores loyalty. Keep up the good work. YT just wouldn't be the same without your videos.
I think this is terrific! Having you review additional systems and providing a comparison of those systems to the OM Systems products will be very helpful. I look forward to seeing more videos.
Integrity. Best of luck, Robin!👏👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing. I can feel you 100%, something very similar happened to me some time ago😀 Look at the bright side, now you have free hands and can do what ever you want.
Hi Robin, big fan of your work since 2011. The EM-5 was my first digital camera. Shutter Therapy is part of my lexicon. Keep doing what you're doing!
I'm truly sorry to hear this Robin. I've relied on your videos to teach me how to get the most out of my OMD and my lenses. You are fantastic!
Mr. Wong I’ve been following your You Tube channel for a long time. You put heart and soul into your work. You’re the humblest guy I’ve seen in the You Tube media. Keep forward into your passion in photography. Many doors and opportunities will open for you soon. Keep morale high. The best thing you did is quitting. Wish you the best. God bless!
So glad you keep up with your great videos. You made me love the brand even more, thanks to you I made big progress as a hobby photographer. YOU ARE GREAT!
Robin you've helped me learn to make the most of my Olympus camera and I love your passion. I'm sorry you were not appreciated by the brand and I look forward to your future videos especially on other brands and formats!
Stay strong Robin, thanks for sharing all what you could in all these years. Shame on JIP for not being a supportive company.
It's a pity to see you leaving the visionnaries Robin but I understand.
Anyway I'll keep on following you as many of us 🤗
Thank you Robin...
Youve allways done a great job and helped me through my photography career. Better things coming your way Robin im sure.
JIP has bought great shame to their company.
Airing your frustrations and stepping back from “the ledge” are good moves when needed! Deep breaths! Sometimes the various departments in the big corporations fail to remember everybody’s contributions. Perhaps this time gives you a chance to review your wishes and aspirations, and start something new. Those of us following you have learned a lot, and the world needs bright, young talent like yourself! Go for it!
You taught me so much.. thank you
Thank you for your contribution and for your enthusiasm when explaining how the Olympus gear worked, it was with your videos I learned to appreciate the Olympus system. Your decision to no longer be a visionary came as a surprise but it’s after your explanation it’s a right path to follow. Glad this RUclips channel will continue and looking for new videos .
Wishing you all the best and take care !
Cheers from Portugal
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and knowledge. I've watched countless videos you've made and enjoy them tremendously. It's a shame this happened to you...and thanks for continuing forward.
Good for you Robin. You add value to the brand. Your videos were among the first I came across in M43 and I have always enjoyed your candid style and useful tips. I am more confident using my ISO and exploring street and night photography with your advice. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your future content.
Sorry to hear working with Olympus has been so difficult. I hope they see this and will apologize. They were lucky to have you!
I understand your position Robin. I think OM digital solutions have miscalculated your influence around the world, me writing from the UK. Your tips and tricks have helped with my digital photography, I’ve between shooting for over 40 years starting in the film era. My cameras have all been Olympus and still have them. I hope you will continue your blogs, video tips. I note in this video you know how to get the best from the 4/3rds system and its shortcomings, maybe you could divulge your methods particularly in the use of software which now seems to be the major change today. I wish you good luck for the future and may your photography business grow.
Good luck with the next steps Robin. Loving your content and looking forward to some new content from different brands
One thing that will never change is your talent as a photographer. Can’t wait to see more photographs, regardless of brand. You inspire me!
I love your presentations, your loyalty, your enthusiasm. I'm sad to say that I will no longer be inclined to support OM systems because of your experience. Please don't go away because you excite me about photography, and many others as I read the comments. You are really brave to express yourself in this way, and you are a magnificent photographer. I'll be looking forward to your next presentations, and appreciate everything you've done for all of us so far - and for photography past present and future.
Well done Robin! Loyalty, commitment and trust works both ways. It says a lot about your character that you're still loyal to your viewers and subscribers. Their short sightedness could call your credibility and stature into question, we need to understand where the real issue lies.
I worked for Nippon Steel Corporation in the hight tech sector, and I know many people who have worked for the likes of Toshiba etc. Japanese companies, for all their good points, have traditionally had a problem trusting organisations and people from other countries, because we don't understand their business ethics and culture. In my experience, his is true to a large degree, but it comes with even bigger problems.
You must have experienced a high degree of frustration and disappointment to have reached this stage, but when it's time to move on, it's time. Your enthusiasm and knowledge will continue to benefit all of us.
Thank you for sharing this. I must say you are the reason why I continued with Olympus gear and got better in using it. All your tips and reviews really helped improve my photography and gear understanding and usage. Everything I bought new equipment I've considered carefully your reviews. You are great in what you do, and I will continue to follow you...I still have a lot to learn from you! Thank you for keeping transparent and strong through this.
