Beautiful portrait of a handsome pal.
Thanks she's very old
I have taken plenty of sharp pics with plenty of bokeh with the 45 1.8, I don’t think anyone would say otherwise. Of course any camera is a tool and if you really want to focus on bokeh then m4/3 shouldn’t be your first choice of format.
.... That's really good news. I won't buy one yet though but the compatibility with MC-14 and MC-20 makes all the difference and would be a deal-breaker for me if the TCs didn't mount. I was only £100 out on my guesstimate of price.
.... There's also an American live video later by a well-known Macro photographer - I'll post a link when I find it.
Ive preordered. The price is very good for a pro macro lens. Before I got the OM-1 i was very close to going back to Canon solely due to their new Macro (which is more expensive than this one) but I am glad I waited and went Olympus tbh. From watching review videos, everyone is raving about it especially paired to the OM-1.
.... 7:00pm? this evening UK time - It states 19:00 but also states "Live in 2 hours" from now which is just gone 4:00pm. So select "Notification ON" to not miss it.
I made the comment as a nod to the M4/3 haters on the internet
Your better off with a mkiii prices are rock bottom at the moment
I tried watching the Cla(i)res but gave up at the point Aaron Harivel appeared. They were just toooo irritating.

I tried and tried and tried but never got on with the modus operandi of the 60mm either, although some people do very well with it.
Don't you think that the new 90mm Macro will do everything which the 60mm does and in fact much more?
I’m with you on this, except I didn’t even try. I watched the 8pm presentation (maybe 7pm here) and the female presenter there was equally silly at times - why can’t they just get on with it and deliver the info?
Some seem to like it though, so I’m just a grumpy old woman.

I think I personally would go for the mint one. I’m a stickler for marks on cameras it does put me off a bit and 4000 seems fairly low to me.
Second one for me, probably get marked sooner or later anyway.
I am leaning towards the 1st one. I have bought from them before a couple of times and trust their descriptions
The refurb one sounds like one possibly returned to Olympus as faulty. You don’t know if it was an intermittent fault which may or may not have been rectified. The higher count one has probably worked faultlessly and has been traded in order to upgrade.
Or maybe not
I have seen the repair centres of major camera manufacturers be unable to find intermittent faults. In fact, not just camera stuff - vehicles are a good example. I have first-hand experience of being at the manufacturers end and even we were unable to replicate faults which the customer definitely experienced.
It only applies if they are faulty.
Just me being sceptical. I too have had excellent stuff from Fuji refurb. Nowhere did I say this would always be the case. Just that it's something to be aware of and consider in the general decision-making process.
