Nice presentation, beautiful photos, and cute dog!

Thank you for this video. Its so good to hear your reasoning behind the purchase. It has help me to realise what i am looking for.

Fuji is way overhyped, price is outrageous, ridiculously expensive with IBIS

Excelent conclusions...Bravo. I am Nikon and Olympus shooter...as well...with many lenses ... 4 of them are prime Carl Zeiss btw. Please do keep your Olympuses!

Your points are even more relevant in 2024.

What grip do you have on your xpro2 ?

Oh dear.

T2????😂

I know it’s been three years since you posted this, but I’m wondering if you use your Olympus for video and if so what do you think of the footage? I’m looking for an affordable, weather sealed, hybrid camera. Thank you.

it takes no space or much time to develop black and white film or c41. Now go out and get an OM-4 or OM-4Ti :)

I just bought my first camera a om10 with 5 lenses flash and a "sekonic" thingy😂 camera jammed so I looked for vid. "Fixed yay" now learn from you. 👌 I'm in Australia so some great pics to come.

With time you get to develop a preference in images. You develop a framing inclination! Most of the time you have an idea of the shots you are after or susceptible to encounter before going out. I find that I rarely use wider focal lengths. So no need to swap that much. On APSC, you can shoot pano hand held easily. Since you are shooting a 90mm to produce a 135mm frame, you benefit of a lens that can be shot much more open to get the same depth of field. You gain about 1 1/3 stop of light over the Full frame. That means you end up shooting most stuff hand held. Not possible with full frame. If ever you need to shoot a focus stack, you can make it automatically over a range of focus distance on a monopod. Since every shot have a deeper depth of field then on a full frame, you end up with a stack just as quick as the fully closed full frame largest depth of field of f16 or f22. I carry all my lenses in a messenger bag. Not a backpack like full framer have to. So when ready to shoot I extend my hand and see what lens fit best for the shot I see fit. If I made the proper choice for that day, the proper lens is already on the camera when I swing the bag to the front. If not, Then I dig in the bag, prepare the targeted lens, and remove the one on the camera to make a quick swap within the cover of the whether resistant messenger bag. Using smaller sensor and lenses reduce the chance of infiltration of dust during this risky procedure. Once lens and framing are decided, I then seek what are the most interesting subject in that scenery. Then I look at the farthest one's distance with a range finder and the distance of the background needed sharp. I then use a chart of the far depth of field shot on this specific nice subject and match the brightest aperture so that at this distance and focal length, I still have the background sharp. That define my aperture. Then I double check that at this aperture I have the first closest object of interest covered by this aperture at the set focus distance. If it does, then I could shoot just that one frame. But if not or if I want to guide the observer through the all scene front to back, then I may operate at this aperture an auto focus stack from the first subject to the farthest one, most of the time hand held and in any other case on a monopod. Since I most of the time shoot 16:9 for the internet, then to shoot 2:3 on a wide angle lens to crop the top and bottom is not really a good practice. So by doing two shots turned 1/3 horizontally and then making it a pano make the 16:9 I intend to use. If I also stitch 5 vertical frames overlapped in the middle and shot also horizontally, I also end up with a 16:9. So this allow me one more trick not to get another lens off the bag and make me gain resolution instead of loosing some. Stitching is not always possible due to moving subjects, yet in many of these cases their is go around options. But when considering routine stitching option the choice of focal lengths in the bag can be considerably reduced to cover the all spectrum that heavy, costly and slow zoom lenses do! I came to conclude that the angle of view of the 23mm (36mm FF equivalent) is enough blue sky and soil for my taste most of the time. Phones do good enough for everything larger, they are as light as it gets and need no lens swap. Then my choice of another focal length ended on the 50mm (76mm FF equivalent). Reason is that if I was to do a pano with it of 5 vertical frames it would still be a smaller frame then one shot made with the 23mm. In this same idea the 90mm produce a stitching smaller then the 50mm do in one shot. Obviously I use this stitching strategy for other size of frames like 4X5, 1X1. That allow me with my little camera to match full frame resolutions and minimize lost of resolution due to cropping. Most importantly it allows me a little compact, complete set of camera gear easy to travel that gives me room in the plane to bring my 150-500mm (225-750mm FF equivalent) with me in the passenger seat. Just making sure folks don't carelessly throw it up and down! Alternative options are much more costly on FF. Most important consideration with using primes in landscape is that they can shoot wide open more often. These lens are built sharper but also sharper when open. Zoom lens are improving but are not to be compared in this regard. Even if the strategy mentioned above could benefit zoom lens photographers, they are loosing much of its interest for multiple reasons: depth of field for fractional focal length unavailable, sharpness mtfp chart for the in use focal length inexistent, need to carry a range finder... So none of these practice get to be put in use by zoom lens photographers. And in the case of a full frame shooter, the absolute necessity of a tripod make the all idea completely useless considering the need to close the aperture for any landscape shot. Otherwise the photographer would need to shoot in high ISO, and that is a no go for anyone investing so much in hiking and camera gear. I find that APSC high resolution sensors are changing the old practices in photography. Few years ago full frame was still superior, but considering everything now, I think they are not benefiting of their expensive lens capabilities due to their need to close the aperture to gain depth of field. Sure they have a big sensor and lots of resolution, but they either loses it to motion blur, noise or bokeh. The APSC have the capability to shoot much more open and this way keeps the ISO and shutter speed down. Yet one advantage the Full Frame have is in portraiture. Wide open the bokeh they produce can not be match by smaller sensors. And that is of interest for wildlife photography and models photography. Although when considering shooting humans and tamed animals, many options of lighting, background set up and post processing techniques are more and more available. The advantage Full Frame have on the blurred background they gain on the wild animals they capture is lost through the size of lens they need to carry around to get the same size of subject in the frame. If a Full Frame shooter was to shoot 750mm at a brighter then f6 like I do, he would certainly get a much more pleasing shot. Yet this type of lens are at least 20 times more rare and expensive and two times heavier then my Tamron one (which is designed for Full Frame). And right now this can also be achieved only with the use of a teleconverter on a supertelephoto prime lens.

well i am surprised where my journey leads me towards. i took a photography break for like 10 years and i now want to get some new gear, but since its a hobby i am a very budget oriented person. i m not paying a lung just for a camera setup. since i want to do mainly street photography i want something small, but i also want it to be weather sealed so i can go out on rainy days. with fuji that would mean i need to go for an xt2 for weatrher sealed at around 400 euros for a body used. but... its big again. the xt2 is pretty much on par with smaller dslr again in terms of size so this defeats the entire point of wanting a small camera. and then i saw olympus cameras. they are SO much cheaper :O

Great review. I would say though honorable mention to most OM models such as 2,3,4,20,30,40..I think they all do aperture priority and most would do manual and with the shutter selection in the usual spot, not an add-on module

Thanks for this easy to understand video, im now even more excited to use the camera which just arrived today ! Also the shots you've taken look amazing, I hope I can get mine to turn out just as good, I am a complete novice and aware it will come with time, haha just looking forward to having something other than my phone 😅

Some people say that Olympus gear is the poor mans Leica, I say Leica is the rich mans’ Olympus. My OM2 was a gift from my parents on Christmas when I was 16 years old. Im now turning 63 and it still running perfectly. Over the years I have added Zuiko primes lenses but the 28mm f2.8 basically lives on it. Great for street photography!

How’s the focus on the xpro2 and 27mm WR?

What's with the cup? Is it to collect tips for the video?

Hello im a new subscriber and i would love to see some wide-angled lens film photography on arcitecture.

Thumbs down bc no sample footage

nice video. also Olympus has color profile capability to match fuji colors / film simulation.

Just discovered your channel. Good content hope to see more!❤

There is also 110 film, which is smaller than 35mm.

Have you had any issues with the camera since this video ? Also nice money back there!

The OM-10 is a dreadful camera. (I'm sorry - I almost never comment negatively to someone's video, but I hope to save someone's frustration and money by deterring them from wasting their money on this undependable camera.) The electromagnetic shutter often fails, so the camera is useless without the manual adapter. I had mine repaired twice before I realized it just wasn't worth the trouble. Also it has a lot of plastic internals - it's just not a quality camera. The Zuiko lenses are terrific, so save some frustration and get an OM-1, 2, 3, or 4. I have an OM-4ti, and in my opinion, that's the Olympus camera to have. The 1s and 2s are also very good, but more basic cameras without automatic exposure.

Watching in ‘24!

which film lab do you use?

One more thing that this lense would not serve to me as telephoto lense is that mostly when travelling I mostly restricted in movements so can't just keep swapping my lenses. So to me its question which to add to collection of my primes, 16-55 or 50-140 or go crazier and get 150-600 which a bit overkill for travelling really 😅

Having same dilemma, the bigest problem wirh this lense in landscape or especially travelling is that restriction of focal length, I recently travelled long distances and I can't imagine in the middle of your activities changing your lenses. Ideally I would like newer version of kind 50-200 or even 300 red badge lense but seems like 50-140 is the only lense available, with your advice I could go to 90mm as well but in this case you need a second body for sure which cancels the idea saving weight and money

Hi, love your videos. Hope you continue to make them. You are totally Right On with this one. I have and have had both Fuji and Olympus cameras. I really like both of them. Currently have Fuji X-S10, 15-45mm, 18-55mm & 18-135mm. Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III, Panasonic G7, 15-45mm, 12-32mm, 12-60mm, 40-150mm, 14-140mm, 25mm. You just cannot beat the value for the Micro Four Thirds system, both Olympus and Panasonic. And the size and weight are a great advantages. X-S10 with 18-55mm - $1200, Olympus EM10 III with 15-45mm & 40-150mm - $500. Panasonic G7 (4k Video, Fully Articulated screen) with 12-60mm - $500. Step up to Panasonic G85 (IBIS, 4K, Weatherproof) + $100, Olympus EM5 Mark II (4k, Weatherproof, Fully Articulated screen) + $200. You just can’t beat the quality, features and prices of M43. I do like the Fuji X-S10 with 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens. But compared to similar equipment to M43, it’s big, heavy, and expensive.

how's the autofocus?

Love this! The OM-G (om-20) was my first 35mm camera with the 50mm Olympus lens and I agree with so much of what your saying about what you love. Thanks for this video.

It would be great if you could upload more videos on the Olympus OM10 :) So that we can learn how to best set up in each conditions Thanks a lot!

Olympus themselves or rather their marketing was to blame. You can figure out why yourself.

I love Olympus and Fuji. Olympus have the absolute best lenses in the industry. M43 is super undepreciated

Sadly no more updates.

May I ask why you own a Fuji in addition?

I sold my 90mm 3 days ago, but my buyer brought it back saying when he moved the spot focus to areas other than center, he got out of focus shots. Face/eye detection off, etc. I now have the lens, testing it with the spot focus dead center, first setting it to manual, defocussing and then flipping it to S and letting the lens change focus, and got fine results. My top dial is in S mode. No issues with ibis, tripod, etc. But moving the spot focus to upper left and using the same technique, I got poor focus. Face Eye detect off, boost mode on, etc., etc. Any ideas?

The link to your Portfolio doesn’t work.

love this camera, had the chance to use it when i went on tour with jacob ottawa. my only problem with it is that it would misfocus on some shots but other from that its a great camera to have.

Great job on your video. Love my fuji XF10 I can carry everwhere, but won't get ride off my EM1 II, love how it can withstand the element, especially cold Canadian winters.

I decided to get this because it really did well in portraits. Not sure why, but when I was shooting portraits with an ff, I always preferred the 135mm. Subject separation.

My favorite as well. I would like Olympus to build a full frame digital camera.

I found an OM-10 today in the thriftstore! Had to give it a clean, test out all the functions but it seems to be working although the lens could use a more thorough cleaning because there's some particles and dust in it. Either way, happy with it and looking forward to start shooting with it!

Arianna, I recently put on order the 90 f2 so I'm looking forward to seeing how well it pairs with the Fuji cameras I own. It matches my favorite film camera lens, the 135 f3.5 Nikkor which I use primarily for candid portraits and when I want to narrow the field for landscapes. It also fits nicely into my collection of Fujinon f2 primes. I prefer primes because of their wider aperture, lighter weight and smaller size. That really makes a difference when you are out hiking, especially if you are at high altitude. It will be nice to see some of the pictures you take with the 90.

Super helpful thanks! Just got an OM10 from a friend and this helped so much!

You have obviously given your choices a lot of thought and the thing that stands out to me is you you use the word love in the context o. Olympus features, and I relate to that. I have been using Olympus cameras since th1970's my first camera was the analogue OM10 small compact with a manual over ride control,vey inexpensive and producing technicaly amazing quality photos amazing build quality and ergonomicsNothinng has changed in this regard to the newer generation of OM productsSomehigh tech products do indeed have their own character that one can easily fall in love with strangely like a good friend. I find this to be true of Apple products to0 aesthetically beautiful in design withvery powerful technology and robust build quality,Superb glass and a huge number of legacy lenses still compatible even now. have subscribed to follow your journey Good luck

I've been thinking about getting the X-Pro2 for an upcoming trip home... to Montana. Where I grew up, which is just west of Kalispell. I haven't searched up any of this stuff. Just hopped on TH-cam, and there it was. There's a less than zero chance you're some sort of magician :P

The AF setting always comes off blurry sometimes

Thank you for this review 😊
