Should I be getting worried? OM-1, if I take a shot with the lens cap on, obviously totally black image! If I look through the eyepiece I see numerous hot pixels, spotted some 6 months ago, but today noticed an increase of said hot pixels. None of these are visible on the computer/camera image...

Anyone have the 100-400mm Mark2 who previously had the Mark1 and can pass on their opinion whether they think it’s a decent improvement ie sharpness at the long end etc or nothing noticeable. I see the Mark2 seems to have become more available now and I’m tempted. I have the 300F4, a very nice...

A update from me. Tuesday I’ll have another test drive in the Vitara, my last drive was mostly stuck in traffic and hardly got into 4th, heard they can be a bit noisy on the motorway. Dealership is suggesting I take it for a blast (my description) on the motorway to check. The T-Cross probably...

“When my wife traded in her Octavia for a new one they wanted to add £1760 in 'add ons".Insurance for the alloy wheels. protection spray for the seats,body paint protection, service plans, GAP insurance extended warranty/service agreement” A bargain compared to what the T-Cross dealer tried to...

Thanks everyone for the input. More reviews to check out, then probably flick a coin!

Similar to drive, T-Cross had a smoother gearbox. T-Cross seemed to have more digital things going on than the Vitara, which would concern me a few years down the line……. It’s to replace a Skoda Yeti which I’ve had for 12 trouble free years and hope it’s replacement will last as long with few...

I have been looking at a Suzuki 1.4 hybrid Vitara and a Volkswagen T-Cross, both similar price, mileage and 2022/23 registration. Test driven both and both have equal pros and cons…..hence I’m swinging between them. For added assistance I wondered if anyone on here is an owner of either car and...

Oops, forgot about that….. thanks.

Mine has just arrived today, cheaper than grey and used.

Many thanks Alf, I don’t see any issue with those lovely shots. I think I’ll be placing a order for one very soon

Enquiring if anyone on here has used the 40-150 f2.8 with a 2x converter attached. I take this lens attached to my OM 1 on holidays, plus my 1.4 converter when I have chance for a bit of wildlife/bird photography. However, I do find sometimes it’s a bit short hence the thoughts of adding an...

I’ve just updated to the new firmware 1.7 on my OM 1. I’m now having to reset all my previous settings, date, custom, button settings etc. Don’t know if this outcome was stated in the small print somewhere! Anyone else experienced this? Not the end of the world, but I’m sure this didn’t happen...

Thanks all, more researching to be done. The reason for the question was following a visit to their website. Each of the ones I listed did say they improve the image and detail etc. I understand the Gigapixel is for enlarging, particularly if printing, but it does also state it upscales and...

Please excuse me for my lack of knowledge about these things called software, but here goes. I was looking at the Topaz website with the view of buying a ‘cleaning’ hack, then I see they advertise 3 types, which to my few brain cells, all do the same job! - DeNoise AI, Gigapixel AI and Sharpen...

Glad it’s just not me then. What annoys me I get lots straight into my focused inbox(hotmail), many originating from America and France. Just get the feeling my address was sold having signed up to a few legit companies recently. The junk folder gets filled with similar to what others have...
