Great shots Terence!
Don’t think the OM1 actually suffers from rolling shutter as the frame rates to fast .. might be wrong but I’ve never yet seen it using electronic shutter .I've been doing a bit of clearing up of hard drives today and came across this photo from 2023 taken with the OM1. Rolling shutter is a bit annoying isn't it? I obviously didn't think about it but I should have used the mechanical shutter.
Is the OM1-ii an improvement does anyone know? I guess I could look up some YouTube reviews, although I've not been doing enough photography recently to justify an upgrade just yet. This was 1/320s.

Cheers Jeff.Super set Terry
Thanks MikeGreat shots Terence!
Yes, the A400M is the replacement for the C130 (AKA Fat Albert). Note that the props on each pair of engines rotate in opposite directions to help it fly straight..No. It’s an A400. Curved Scimitar blades though.
Fascinating. Thanks.Yes, the A400M is the replacement for the C130 (AKA Fat Albert). Note that the props on each pair of engines rotate in opposite directions to help it fly straight..
Keeled Skimmer, Dorset by Pete, on FlickrOoh that's interesting! Do all planes with two props either side do this? Does the C130? Are there other planes with two props either side? ....I could end up down a rabbit hole.Yes, the A400M is the replacement for the C130 (AKA Fat Albert).

I noticed that all my photos were tagged as A400, so I should have known, however on closer inspection, some of my C130s were tagged as A400s! I must pay more attention![]()
It's a boy thing.......
I am going in a couple of weeks are you going on Britannia? It's our 40th anniversary treat but the EM1-X and a few lenses are coming with meHi folks,
Anyone here been to the Norwegian Fjords?
I am going on a cruise with my family as my mother is severely disabled and this may be her last time to get away due to her health. Obviously, I want to take some nice pictures of us all but also the views there.
I am thinking about what cameras to take and it would seem to make sense to take the 2 OM1 bodies and the 8-25 F4, 12-40 F2.8 and 40-150 F2.8 as this covers 16 - 300 mm in FF terms. I do also have the teleconverter and digital if needed.
I recently purchased a Z8 and the image quality on that is amazing but I only have the 24-120 F4 currently.
So, just wondered if anyone had been and taken M43rds gear as March / April time when we are going could be a bit crummy weather wise.
I suspect the A400M is the only one. The C130 doesn't do it and I'm pretty sure nothing earlier will. There are very few current four prop aircraft. The interesting one is the Tu-95 which looks like it has counter rotating props on each engine to achieve the same effect as the A400M.Ooh that's interesting!

Jpegs aren’t my cup of tea, but thanks for going to the trouble of collating these anywayAs I own the OM-3, I have been collecting jpeg recipes from around t’internet. They are available in Google Sheets on my website.

Enjoy and if you have any different recipes then let me know and I might add it.


Very nice good shotsCouple of inflight butterflies

Thanks - it's all so very clever! I had an interesting conversation with my son who pointed me to two aircraft that he knew of with a single prop either side that contra-rotate... the P38 and F-82/P-82. Google tells me the Russians have over 50 TU-95s and they've been flying since 1952!I suspect the A400M is the only one. The C130 doesn't do it and I'm pretty sure nothing earlier will.

Thanks JeffStunning shot bo
Excellent shot, more than just a “plane” photo (pun intended)Thanks - it's all so very clever!

Just so I don't take it all completely off track, I'll post another plane photo - an F15. Taken with the OM1 and the 150-400. My WB may be a little blue??

Bit more horsepower than my butterflies Bebop, super sharp and that heat haze is so cool.Thanks - it's all so very clever!

I see what you did there and thank you! As I mentioned, it was spray and prayExcellent shot, more than just a “plane” photo (pun intended)
But my butterflies were so easy using the pro capture feature, less skill than your photo I reckon.but your butterflies require far more skill - mine was definitely spray and pray. I don't think I have ever managed a butterfly in flight.

Is this the right thread for OM-3 users? Or is there a different one?
Excellent! I’m very excited to join then as I await delivery of my new OM-3!!!Yep. This one.
