I also had an E-M1 Mark II. Great camera. Former flagship. With the E-M10 II too I could shoot both at events. Bought both used. TheE-M1 Mark II had an Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 Lens Pro to go with the E-M10 II and its 12—45 f/4.0 lens. Eventually I needed to let go either one or the other and decided to hold on to the E-M10 II. But it was okay because I have realized the smaller camera/lens produces pictures just about as good as the bigger, more expensive one. Plus, I got curious to find out the shutter count on the E-M10 II and learned how to get it off the internet. Turned out Olympus rated it for 100000 "actuations". Mine has more than 112000. And still going strong. Of all its features/settings I use the JPEG edit, by pushing down the OK button for the photo just taken, and the Digital—Converter most often.

Wow! That is amazing quality Walleye May 25 #1

Thanks Walleye. Olympus sells mirrorless four/thirds cameras. They don't quite compete with full--frame, but George McGovern May 25 #2

Yessir. I work with an iMac which contains a program called OM Workspace, George McGovern May 25 #7

Is OM workspace the free software you can download if you buy a Oly camera? I got some photo software mitch96 May 25 #14

Yes it is. Which camera do you have? George McGovern May 26 #16

My camera is a E-M10 III. I got it on a estate sale. I don't think the guy used it much as it looks brand new. mitch96 May 26 #22
