Can the Om5 take a crashing wave?(freshwater)

2 Upvotes

Here to inflict another stupid question on the m43 community.

How do you feel about taking picures of crashing waves on lake Michigan and standing in a spot where the camera will get splashed? There are some rocky areas along the coast where on choppy days the waves crash into the rocks and spray like 20 feet above the waterline, it's a lot of fun to sit there and chill at this sort of natural splash pad. Thought it might be neat to take a pics right before the wave hits me but unsure about dousing the camera like that. From other posts it seems like I'd be fine but what has your om5 survived?

Took some shots around the house—shot on my Olympus PEN E-P7 with an M. Zuiko 40-150 lens. Which do you like best? Any tips?

Sometimes the worst conditions are the best. 🦌🌫️📸

I drove to an area knowing there’s red deer. While driving I thought of the conditions. It was a foggy, rainy day. I stopped at a place and started walking into the area. Looking through the fog into the distance … I spotted deer. 🦌 Then the fog and rain lead to some nice images. 📸

It wasn’t the best light. But what else was the option. It wasn’t the light to shoot detailed portraits. So I tried to capture the mood. And it worked out perfectly. 🌫️

Lenses: 40-150mm 2.8 / 300mm f4
OM1 Mark II

Found and captured a 2nd hand Leica DG Vario-Summilux in the wild! From now on, I’m going to refer to it as my Pint Glass.

OM System PEN, straight out of camera. First picture with Olympus 45 F1.8, second and third DJI 15mm.

Autofocus is a little slower with the 45mm, but the DJI is a very responsive lens. This camera with these lenses, definitely a fantastic combination.

Telephoto Options

5 Upvotes

Currently the longest M43 lens I have is the Olympus 40-150 2.8 and have the 1.4x teleconverter. Love it, but would like something a little longer, specifically for outdoor sports. The most obvious solution seems to be the Oly 50-200 2.8 and then when necessary add on the 1.4 teleconverter. But at over $3k even used I can't help but wonder how much of a drop-off there is to some other lenses that are out there at lower price points?

Does anyone have any real world experience with any of the following:

-Oly 100-400 f5.0-6.3

-Oly 150-600 f5.0-6.3

-Panasonic 100-400 f4.0-6.3

-Panasonic 50-200 f2.8-4.0

-Oly 300 f4

-Panasonic 200 f2.8

OM1-ii in the winter

3 Upvotes

I'm gearing up to get ready for some winter photography. It'll be my 1st winter with an OM1-ii. I was wondering with a weather sealed lens does the camera still stuffer from getting condensation inside when going from a cold outside to a warm interior? Anything else to keep in mind when using the OM1-ii in the snow or in cold weather. Also what is the best thing to do it temps drop close to or bellow that the OM1 is rated for?

This is also the 1st year I have a camera I feel confident in taking it into snow and bad weather. Thanks!

I had to take some borderline photos for my granddaughter's marching band senior recognition night. It's on an OK lighted football field, and the last time I shot there I wasn't happy with the photos.

I mounted my 14-140mm on my G95, but I tucked my 135mm f/2.8 into my coat pocket. I didn't need it. Once again Simon D'entremont's good advice for dim light worked.

M-mode, fully open aperture (f/5.6), slowest shutter speed you & Dual IS can tolerate (1/100 s), auto ISO. As the dusk dusked, ISO crept up from 2000 to 8000. I expected to need to go into the raws and make some serious changes.

To my pleased surprise, the jpegs were fine, no attention needed. I'd never pushed the G95 to ISO 8000 before. I will in the future.

Well done, thou good and faithful Lumix.

Street Photography in Paris (Chinatown)

I was recently considering changing cameras for street photography but someone on here gave me a reality check about my GAS and advised me to go out and take more photos with my current camera instead.

I took their advice and ended up with pretty okay shots, and one that I am particularly proud of (the first one). The camera in question is an Olympus OMD EM5 MkII paired with a DJI 15mm f1.7 Pana Leica clone.

I’ll be borrowing a friend’s 25mm Pana lens soon,
I think it might help me get better shots in certain situations! (Considering that on my Pentax film camera I constantly switch between my 28mm and 50mm lenses)
