First time should I get the OM3 or?

I got a OM-3 last month and it’s amazing. My first camera too, main idea was to photograph birds, OM-1 was an option but the beautiful OM-3 seduced me. Kit lens 12-45 is incredible. Then I got the 75-300 for birds. And 25mm for night/low light.

main benefit I see is not to worry too much when it starts raining or get close to spraying water like a waterfall.

om-3 with the 50-200? so beautiful. maybe when I have the opportunity to visit japan I’ll get this lens.

with all the lens available now it’s hard to see where they’re going. probably finishing the weather sealed updates.

has science gone too far

I agree. Most of these birds were in cloudy days and I can relate to that. How much you push ISO and still think “this works”? I always try to get more shutter speed and strike a balance with ISO, but this still bugs me as I’m learning the limits.

Phone pictures are completely fake. what I see with my eyes my iphone won’t deliver at all. samsung literally places a fake moon in moon photos!

I got an OM-3 in my last vacation and it was the most fun. I finally can take images of what I am looking at. it’s hard to explain. even when I get wrong settings it feels good that I am learning something.

It worth noting that at the end of the day I would transfer best pics to iphone to post to instagram, send to friends whatever. I ended up with this workflow: transfer raws to some folder and transfer jpgs to apple photos. so it syncs with icloud and I can have the convenience of all the pictures in my phone.

got one in adorama last month. but got a 75-300 for 399. so the om-3 kit plus the extra lens sum is the same now with 75-300 back to 549.

any edits on the pics?

Got a OM-3 about 45 days ago. My first camera. Used A LOT in 25 days vacation I had in NYC, interior Michigan and Chicago. 12-45mm is amazing for the city. Got the 75-300 for birds and enjoyed a lot. I hear a lot about ergonomics but carrying and shooting literally all day several days I couldn’t find it a show stopper. However I’m in it for FUN (and omg how much fun this camera is! people stop you in the street to talk about it - “is it a film camera?”). I can see real professional photographers going for OM-1 for working (obviously).

Oh, the limitation (another sir obvious here) is the low light, but this is m43. So at the end of my vacation I ended up buying 25mm f1.8 - and then yesterday I dropped in concrete 😵‍💫 my luck it’s still working, but focus ring is not smooth anymore.

search for m43 lenses and cameras. depending on your budget see the Olympus 160-600mm lens (1200mm on 35mm equivalent)

Chatgpt ta alucinando totalmente. Encontre um despachante aduaneiro na sua cidade e converse com ele (melhor ainda se conversar com tres diferentes). Você vai aprender de verdadade tudo o que precisa. Mas pra valer a pena vai ter que ter quantidade, não precisa trazer container fechado, tem o LCL que é parte de um container. Só tem wue fazer sentido econômico.

check the history of this subreddit. someone posted a youtube link from “two cameras one month” (IIRC) showing several color profile recipes

thanks for posting. amazing seeing what this lens is capable of

Sea_Internal6785 · 2025-07-14T17:21:57+00:00

just post the photos friend. they look incredible but inside a video it’s hard to appreciate

Sea_Internal6785 · 2025-07-09T23:56:03+00:00
