Olympus PEN cameras

Pictures of them, or taken by them.

Beautiful!!

Beautiful!!

They really are
That PEN E-P5 died eventually, but the nice people at Olympus sent me a heavily discounted E-P7 as a replacement.

I'll upload a pic of that later, with the Leica 8-18mm attached.

 

[Skygod44]

Beautiful!!

Here you are, as promised.
Just snapshots using a smartphone, but I think Olympus did a good job regarding keeping faithful to the design of the PEN series.
Cheers for now,
Simon

Wonderful shot
I absolutely LOVED my E-P5.
After the bulk of my Canons + pro L lenses, that little Oly, packed with great functionality + the beautiful 17mm f1.8 prime lens renewed my love for photography.

I'm so jealous that yours is still working

Beautiful, and spooky at the same time.

Part of a traditional New Year entrance-way decoration here.

PEN E-P7, 17mm f1.8 prime lens.

Another snap to keep the thread alive:
These are called 絵馬 (e-ma), and it's traditional for people here, in particular at New Year, to write their determined plan on the back, and hang it at a shrine.

On the technical side, a bokeh-licious image, from a m4/3 camera? Who woulda thunk it?

Well done

 

[Skygod44]

Well done

Thank you

I'm going out with my son tomorrow morning for a bicycle ride.
So I'll probably split the photos between here, and my new-but-old (from POTN) "Get on your bike" thread

This "naturally framed" shot, under a bridge, next to Kinko Bay, Kagoshima City caught my eye. And I thought I'd use my handy little PEN E-PL8 to capture it

 

[Skygod44]

Just a bit of fun, created live, in-camera, from my PEN E-P7.

 

[Skygod44]

Savage.

That's really pretty
Which camera, and which lens?

EP-5 w/ 45 1.8

Thanks.
I should have guessed, from the soft background but sharp fronds.
It's a great little lens, isn't it

btw, what do you think about the O-M1 mk2?

Cheers for now,
Simon
