Revision as of 19:45, 17 June 2013

I acquired an Olympus OM-D EM-5 on February 27, 2013. I got it with the bundled 12-50mm kit lens.

Customizing

LCD and other tweaks for conserving battery life

Buttons and dials:

Simple way to improve flash.

Techniques

Double Exposures

Lenses

I own:

I may get a 58mm CPL filter (in preparation for an Olympus 75mm lens) along with an appropriate step-up ring. May also get an ND filter. See the Wikipedia page on ND filters as well as these threads.

I will almost certainly be getting the Olympus 12mm f2.0 at some point.

Needs:

  • Every day prime lens. (25mm f1.4)
  • Wide angle. Most likely 12mm f2, but may go with 14mm f2.5.
  • Telephoto for meetings, often in low-light conditions. (75mm f1.8)

Other possibilities:

Bag

I have the BlackRapid Metro camera strap. In theory, the Snapr 35 would have been perfect, but it was not well-reviewed. I played with a hand strap, but it got in the way, so I'm going without. If I get one, I'd probably get the BlackRapid wrist strap to maintain a modular system.

Peak Design's Leash and Cuff looks like an interesting alternative to the BlackRapid, but I'm not ready to change yet.

I've got a generic padded insert, which holds the body and a few lenses, and which I can use in any of my bags.

For day shoots, I'm getting a Tom Bihn Side Effect to hold the lenses. If that ends up being too small, I'll use a MountainSmith Zoom Small. If I need a bag, I can use my Synapse.

I have a Tom Bihn 3D mesh organizer cube to hold various accessories and cables.
