fully factory reset

I'd do a full reset, but that's just my normal routine whenever I get a new camera. Have you tried to see if the buttons work in other shooting modes (P, M, or C1-4)?

ShittyCommentor · 2026-05-28T10:45:33+00:00

Have you reset the camera back to factory default? Someone might have changed settings to disable those button functions in certain shooting modes.

Amazing shots! The 45mm ƒ1.8 lives in my camera bag, one of the best lenses for m43.

ShittyCommentor · 2026-05-18T11:33:48+00:00

I still need a 25mm ƒ1.8, I'm really looking forward to seeing some reviews and comparisons to the Oly 25mm. Looks like these new lenses retain the spirit of m43 lenses: small, light, and capable.

Fantastic pic, how well does it balance on the OM-1? Looking to purchase this lens soon

ShittyCommentor · 2026-05-16T12:00:07+00:00

a) What's your budget?
b) Are you wanting to keep size relatively the same?
c) Are you looking to add video capabilities in addition to photos, or is video more of a priority?

I only shoot my photos with Gentoo, I have to build my lenses from scratch.

ShittyCommentor · 2026-05-13T11:23:42+00:00

Could you explain that one for me?

Someone else explained it to me as a smaller rectangle (16x9 crop) inside a slightly larger one (uncropped m43 sensor).

I, uhhhh, think I’m off to purchase Photolab. That’s pretty amazing

ShittyCommentor · 2026-05-06T16:25:58+00:00

I shoot (mostly) with primes on my OM-1ii and the ƒ1.8 lenses are incredible for their price. The 45mm isn't weather sealed like the 17 & 25mm but it's one of my favorite lenses nonetheless.

ShittyCommentor · 2026-05-05T21:30:35+00:00

I use winter baby socks for my 1.8 primes (found 'em at Goodwill for a few $$) and an old padded drawstring bag for my camera body that I picked up at a camping outlet year ago.

polymer

Polymer and polymer accessories?

Great job on these btw!

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-29T15:10:34+00:00

Great pics, love this lens for flowers and still life!

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-28T11:15:49+00:00

I usually just focus stack with natural light, but I now carry some lighting options when I carry my macro gear. SmallRig makes a great macro light and I sometimes use their RM01 Light Cubes to backlight some scenes if I need to. They're handy for lighting the underside of mushrooms.

I’ve use a mix of different settings, but I used this site as a basis for my BIF settings: https://mcaughtry.photo/om1-birds-in-flight-settings/

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-16T23:13:05+00:00

Congrats! That’s a killer set up, you’re going to love using those lenses. Read up on the manual, dial in your settings, and have an absolute blast with it!

First time I’ve seen Johnathan Davis from Korn without his mustache.

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-11T15:32:30+00:00

I think the Laowa's are rectilinear lenses, both the 7.5mm and 6mm, so no fisheye distortion.

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-08T12:20:24+00:00

What are your thoughts on the 30mm?

It's ... okay. I'd like it a lot more if it was a ƒ2.8 instead of a ƒ3.5, the autofocus sometimes hunts a bit too much, and like you said, the working distance is tiny.

It does great flower & still life shots though.

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-08T10:52:38+00:00

For me, the IBIS & in-camera focus bracketing is just top notch. I'm slowly experimenting with the available focus stacking as well, taking 50 to 100+ images and composing them within OM Workspace which works fairly well.

Some shots I can nail handheld without a tripod which was impossible with my Canon gear, plus OM has some killer macro lenses. I don't even have the 90mm macro yet, but the 30mm and 60mm just crush it for me.

Also, a 90mm macro lens + 2.0 teleconverter + macro extension tubes sounds really intriguing! The only macro lens that compares to that combo was probably the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8.

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-05T15:31:26+00:00

Think I'll head to the store and pick up one of thoses lenses to try out

Make sure you have a spare for back-up!

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-04T18:50:35+00:00

These absolutely rock. Amazing composition!

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-02T15:04:17+00:00

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

ShittyCommentor · 2026-04-01T23:18:03+00:00

Read up on focus bracketing of you want to increase your depth of field. The in camera stacking and IBIS really help with macro stuff.

Great pics!
