This was really nice Alex. I hope you really enjoy this little camera. I shoot even older camera from Olympus and I think they are all a joy to use. And like you said it is just fun to take them anywhere.
@@martinpees i have an old minolta srt101 with a 28mm f2 and its incredible. theres also a 58mm f/1.4 and its remarkable how nice those lesnses look for them being almost 60 years old
hah, I got bored of the GX80 and sold it to get some money to buy some other equipment that i needed. But yeah, it was. a great camera and I miss it.. !
th-cam.com/video/XlTnoGjBbwY/w-d-xo.html May I ask what's the name of the handling accessory you put in your gx85's horseshoe mount? I'd love one of those for mine :)
@justalexhimself I think this was a comment towards the TH-cam photography community in general, but this is definitely a phenomena. However, I think that's also kinda the point. I hope it's newer or more budget photographers yanking up these cheap cameras and not resellers but it's hard to know
I think this is such an exaggeration, not all devices that get posted here on yt get higher prices. Especially if it's these kinds of devices that are missing a lot of features/ specs that are available in newer devices. E-PL2 is just too "handicapped" to even get higher prices, because of the outdated 12mp sensor (compared to the 16mp and even 20mp in newer Olympus/ OM System cameras), only fixed screen, very limited video capabilities, no live composite mode, to name a few. Not even the original Olympus EM-5 or EM-10 are getting jacked up prices because these have their newer iterations, it would make sense for the newer ones to get higher prices first, and also, there's just a lot of these camera models in circulation today that it doesn't make sense at all to jack up prices. Maybe if it's something like the Pen F, which is significantly harder to find than other Olympus cameras, it makes way more sense for that to be expensive, just like the Fujifilm X100 models. I myself am planning to buy either an Olympus EM5 or EM10 in December, I'm still saving up l, I've actually been holding out since last year, but the prices never seem to go up, in fact, I see one seller of the EM-5 even lower the price since I first saw it online. So yeah, it depends, but this E-PL2 ain't it.

Just got this camera 2 months ago along with a Lumix 14-45mm for around $130.
Just bought one with a Minolta MD 28mm 3.5 lens.. what do you think about that lens.
@@martinpees don't know! Never used that lens. Do you like it?
@justalexhimself have to receive it yet😄 are you also familiar to pergear lenses?
@@martinpees I've heard of them - but never tested one out unfortunately :(

What happened to your GX85? I think on several levels it is superior to the
EPL2?
