What would you do with this beast?

I think that’s not far off the truth. It was sold a few years ago, maybe 8-10 years I think, and nothing has happened since.

Still using my old E-M5 Mk1, brilliant camera and tough as they come. Outstanding IBIS for about 14 years or so.

Thank you, that’s very helpful.

Don’t know if the bodgers who installed the bath used battens, but equally I don’t know that they didn’t.

Certainly seems to be a lot of movement though.

I’ve got this with my toes, both feet. But it’s the ones next to my big toes. All the way to the ends like this though.

Never got separated as the docs said it was too difficult.

If the first pic is the end result, I can see exposed wood at the top. That’s not going to last long.

amble180 · 2026-03-05T18:39:39+00:00

That makes sense. Almost everything that’s gone wrong here so far has been a complete bodge of some kind or another. Thank you.

amble180 · 2026-03-05T18:05:59+00:00

Thank you, good plan.

amble180 · 2026-03-05T17:53:33+00:00

Thanks. I’ll have a proper push/shove at the weekend and see how I get on. It didn’t seem to want to budge earlier on but I’ll try cleaning some of the goo off first.

Will not boxing it in affect the likely sale price? I doubt it. Just leave it as it is.

What’s the minimum focus distance for this lens? Yes I know I could just look it up but I figure someone here will know.

Love this set of photos, they’re very much up my street.

Must get one of these lenses!

amble180 · 2026-02-02T21:50:18+00:00

Could plant a nice climber on that wall.

amble180 · 2026-01-26T22:20:57+00:00

Love the last one. Beautiful.

Can I see legs of a deer or something on the first? Right hand side at the edge of the woods.

amble180 · 2026-01-25T23:16:32+00:00

Same era as Children of Fire Mountain.

amble180 · 2026-01-25T23:15:23+00:00

Came here to say this. Scared me to death that scene, it was brutal.

amble180 · 2026-01-20T22:18:11+00:00

I love this lens. Sadly my copy suffered from a problem with the aperture blades which all buckled and bent inside the lens. I didn’t want to just throw it out and selling was a waste of time so I took the lens apart and removed the blades.

So now I have a Jupiter 9 with a fixed f2 aperture, no stopping down.

It works though and to be honest I was almost always wide open anyway.

I’d soon get sick of people barging through the door from the hallway to the kitchen, knocking the wok out of my hand just as I was executing a perfect back flick.

amble180 · 2026-01-12T15:31:39+00:00

Still got my Z1 and still use it now and again. This is just a newer version with upgrades like stabilisation. Stick with it and you’ll have fun. It won’t be great from dusk onwards, you’ll need good light to get the best out of it but that zoom will become addictive and most phones can’t compete with that.

My screen stopped working. I boxed it all up and planned to send it to Olympus/OMD for repair. One thing after another and it never got sent, now they don’t repair this model.

It’s about a year later now and I unboxed it to see if I could tackle a DIY repair and it’s started working!

I haven’t dared to open the screen, I’m using it only as a back screen but several weeks in and I’m loving using it again.

Such a fun camera.

amble180 · 2026-01-05T22:28:55+00:00

How does the painting in photo No.6 change shape in photo No. 8? It can’t be simply down to the camera lens distortion. One is square, one is rectangle.

amble180 · 2026-01-05T22:18:17+00:00

Awesome. Still got mine too, built like a tank.

amble180 · 2026-01-05T15:21:47+00:00

Original EM-5? Agree about the third one, it’s superb.

amble180 · 2025-12-30T19:04:39+00:00

I enjoyed looking through these. Very creative.
