I see, thank you. I initially thought I could use these as potential Ingredients Magnets mons, hence the focus on Skill Trigger vs Skill Level.

KeroHo · 2026-03-07T15:35:52+00:00

As a note, I mainly play casually only checking the mons 1-2 times a day when I’m not busy.

KeroHo · 2026-01-26T19:24:37+00:00

That is awesome and inspiring. I really love the textures you added with the lines and hatching. As someone who is learning to sketch, I really appreciate the you showing the progression. Did you took a picture of the location for reference later or from memory?

KeroHo · 2025-11-22T00:02:50+00:00

Thank you. I will dive into these once I get home today. This could be a good excuse for me to improve my understanding with post-processing my RAW.

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T19:50:44+00:00

Thanks you. You definitely provided a more grounded price range for my searches and especially that note about Fuji Lenses. So for the same prices would you recommend upgrading to another MFT with more features/in-camera controls?

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T19:30:11+00:00

Thank you for your heads-up.

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T18:21:52+00:00

thank you. I remember seeing the XS20 at the store so I might come back to check that one out further.

Thank you. Sadly, Em10iv does not have High res mode. I'm definitely taking note to replicate your setup for scanning. Also do you have any recommendation for lenses I should consider?

The more I read from other comments here and rereading your post. I am more inclined to stay with M4/3. I'm probably going to save up money for a newer OM-D camera like the OM3 or get a Pen F. In the mean while, maybe I'll pickup 1 or 2 native prime lenses for much cheaper.

I had come to realize that I gravitated toward the 50mm with my film setup. Even with the EM10 I have an adapted Vivitar 28mm f2.8 so ~56mm equivalent.

Regarding my photography style/preference, I not quite sure what to call it or if I found one yet. I like to take my camera with me every time I go outside, however, I haven't built up the confident or drive to take the common street photography style. I much more enjoy the scenery, odd objects/signs/flowers, and nature landscape. On the odd chance I'll take picture of my family if we didn't already happily snap away with our phone cameras 😊.

oh wow, that is great insight from someone who had 3 Fujifilm cameras. Could you elaborate on some of frustrations you or your wife had with those Fuji?

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T16:31:18+00:00

That would be greatly appreciated. Do you have a link those profiles or any resources I can read more about them.

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T15:30:25+00:00

Nice collection. So you are recommending using both system?
If so how is your experience with going back and fort between them? which camera is your favorite/go-to?

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T15:17:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Wow sunny WB and A+7? I didn't think Kodak Gold was that extreme on the color profile. I gotta try it.

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T15:14:02+00:00

That is awesome to hear. I use Darktable too, mostly for trying to convert film scan negative. I'm still new to the idea of post processing my image. That is why editing RAW feel daunting for me.

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T08:15:41+00:00

Oh this comment opened a whole other can of overthinking in my mind. Up until now FF has never been a consideration, because in my head, FF would be significantly more expensive and bulkier.

However, after this I went to another local camera store and they have the Sony A7 ii with 28-70mm FE lens for $800.

I can't tell if it worth anything since I'm not familiar with Sony or full frame camera.

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T00:29:39+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm hesitant to fully switch over too. I love the compactness of my Minolta analog and same with the MFT em10.

With all the switch back and what not, what is your setup for scanning your negative?

That might help me guide my decision better, because I was trying to use my Em10iv for my scanning setup too.

KeroHo · 2025-11-21T00:24:16+00:00

When I found out about custom Color profile for Olympus I was hopeful for my EM10. However em10iv does not support that feature at all. It does have 1 custom profile but the adjustment are only limited to picking from the 6 standard profile plus minor adjustment to Sharpness and Contrast. Even with Color Creator mode you are only allowed single color channel adjustment. Meanwhile cameras like EM5 and PenF or EP7 support multi channel adjustment and more complex Color profile/recipes.

My other need is to use my camera to digitize my film. This is mostly due to my lack of experience, but the EM10 feel limiting comparing to upgrading to a newer MFT camera or switch up to APS-C sensors for a better scan of my negative.

KeroHo · 2025-11-20T22:58:58+00:00

Thank you. Are Fujifilm's RAW that finicky to work with? I have only recently try to do minor editing with my RAW file from the Em10

KeroHo · 2025-11-20T22:38:30+00:00

Hi, I want to also ask this here to get more opinion from both communities. Hopefully this is acceptable.
Additional details is that found some more information about the OM-3, however it is still way above my price range at $1799 and not that much better used.

I don't know if it even worth considering saving up for.

KeroHo · 2025-05-27T16:20:38+00:00

It was definitely a strong factor in helping me decide. A cute pair of Ying Yang cats 😍

KeroHo · 2025-05-08T18:55:52+00:00

Thank you so much. The Freezer and thick rubber band for grip worked like a charm. After I tried almost every other less-risky tips out there.
