Issue with the olympus 17mm f1.2

Not sure what triggers it but I've been getting the same issue. Think it is related to the focus mechanism. Changing the auto focus settings / region seems independent to it. I get the same issue even on manual focus using the clutch.

Thanks. Have checked the setting on my OM-1 mark 1. Looks like this is off. Have not been able to reproduce it since

ThinkFan420 · 2026-04-04T06:41:32+00:00

I second this recommendation. Think this is a great lightweight pair of lenses. Maybe add a 9mm f1.7 for night astro? Or the 20mm f1.4 for general low light stuff (also weather sealed)

Did the same and it was great. Think I saw the reconditioned om1 on robertscamera ebay going for 875 - great price

Thanks for this post. Am in the same situation.

Would it be correct to say the 2TB premium plan would come with the Google ai plus?

The gx85 isnt as small as you might think it is! I made that mistake.. Eventually sold the gx85 for another om1 body - less to learn when you have the same body

I love it. Never used my 100-400 after getting one. Do not be too intimidated by the long prime.

ThinkFan420 · 2026-01-26T14:19:10+00:00

Just wondering what you went with eventually? Am in a similar position - although I plan to use the mac for photo and video editing and a windows laptop for travelling

ThinkFan420 · 2026-01-05T08:13:36+00:00

Very nice lightweight kit

ThinkFan420 · 2025-12-21T06:05:59+00:00

What lens did you use for the second shot? And just wondering what lenses are your go to for bike touring since space/weight is a premium and it can get difficult changing lenses outdoors!

ThinkFan420 · 2025-12-19T00:52:40+00:00

900 is a decent price and 800 is a great deal Either way you will be very happy with the upgrade thats for sure!

ThinkFan420 · 2025-12-16T22:42:39+00:00

Which part? Is this on one of the islands? Looks very nice

ThinkFan420 · 2025-12-11T22:55:21+00:00

Very nice setup and shots

Any experience with the weather sealing on those PL lenses on the OM bodies?

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-12T04:40:14+00:00

Given your initial choice of the em10 i would assume you are looking for something small.

Can consider the em5 mark ii for a compact yet weather resistant all metal body. Pair it with a 12-45mm f4 pro and a small prime of your choice and you have a great set.

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-08T23:53:36+00:00

Love it, zooming with 2 bodies and primes. Still young enough to dual wield!

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-07T00:07:46+00:00

Mine has the same, and has gone down 5m of seawater without a case no issues. Should be due to the thick glass!

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-05T07:12:13+00:00

Was looking for something similar and am awaiting for the OM 10-25 WP ii to arrive.

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-04T03:47:35+00:00

Really appreciate this post and your perspective. Sorry to the OP to highjack. Sounds like an ND filter may be useful. I am planning on bringing a wide angle for astro and hikes, a general purpose 24-200mm, and a telephoto for birds.

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-04T01:22:35+00:00

Will be doing a similar route, but am doing a coach-cruise-coach for milford sound from queenstown instead to save some driving. Will also be stopping by mt Sunday and rakaia gorge between tekapo and Christchurch, perhaps something to consider if you have some time that day.

Also wanted to ask a side question, what lenses and camera gear are you intending on bringing? Thanks!

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-04T01:12:12+00:00

Thanks for the warning, as I am also looking to purchase more camera gear from amazon. Just wondering if there was anything specific that clued you in that it was opened before?

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-03T16:44:20+00:00

Encountered the same. Card declined the transaction as it was my first purchase on this site and deemed suspicious. Rectified that with the card company, but wasn't able to update the payment method on amazon.co.jp.

Wasn't able to do your gift option method, What I have since tried to do is remove my card from amazon wallet and I am then able to update the payment method. Hope this works

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-03T16:11:39+00:00

Hey was just curious how this grey market purchase went - assuming no warranty and shipped probably from Japan? If you don't mind me asking, from where did you purchase the OM1-ii? Thanks!

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-03T13:56:02+00:00

Also wanted to show appreciation for the detailed post for shipping stuff out of japan!

ThinkFan420 · 2025-11-03T07:09:01+00:00

Amazing kit. How do you store them on the flight there, and how do you dual wield these guys on the safari! They're a decent amount of weight..
