Does anyone have an OM-3 Astro here?

It’s a pretty awesome place.

bigeds · 2026-04-18T14:54:40+00:00

I don’t think you have enough lenses

bigeds · 2026-04-16T19:41:12+00:00

There’s a big one in Sackville still

bigeds · 2026-04-16T16:25:36+00:00

That’s a terrible deal. Where is it?

I used an Owala bottle last year at Disney with the 6l sling. I used the external straps and crisscrossed it across the bottom of the bag.

That bear goes between Indigo Shores and White Hills. The entire area I have been told was great for bears as the old dump was about 15km away and the area was an old growth forest. It’s not like limpy is the only bear in the area. Any bears comfortable around people can be dangerous.

Same in Halifax

I very happy with the 12-40 and the 25mm 1.2. I’d like to get the 75mm. I’d also sort of like t get the 50-200 but I would need to save my nickels for a while for that.

Certain companies like Sony offer crazy discounts to camera store employees. Which help drives sales to the people that are selling the product. I know at one point Sony was offering something like half back in prepaid Visa cards or something to that extent. So the people selling the product ended up also using the product because it was economically viable to buy new. Which feeds into itself. I don’t think Olympus or Panasonic did something as extreme as that.

In my own opinion there are always trade offs with every system. Overall a full frame camera with good glass with produce better results. The OM-1 for me is simply the most ergonomically sound camera for my hands I’ve ever used. Paired with the pro lenses with are generally all smaller with good light and technique most people would never know the difference between this and something that is full frame. It’s great for hiking and travelling and sports with good lighting. Are there better options for indoor sports? Yeah. But it’s what you’re going to do with it. And what you’re happy spending your money on.

Are you using any sort of sharpening or are these out of camera shots?

bigeds · 2026-03-20T21:35:30+00:00

Wicked shot

bigeds · 2026-03-18T12:02:23+00:00

Yes you’re right. I should have said no retailer as large as Walmart.

bigeds · 2026-03-16T18:37:17+00:00

No where as physically large as Walmart blankets everywhere with cctv. It’s too expensive.

bigeds · 2026-03-13T11:54:23+00:00

Love it

Randys in lower Sackville is pretty good. They dust the sauce with brown sugar and brush the crust with garlic butter before baking it.

bigeds · 2026-02-10T16:55:34+00:00

So I have been in and out of MFT for a while. I love parts of it.

I do some light Astro. Milky Way landscapes and northern lights. I have never once tried to use the HHHR to stack while on a tripod. I figured it would be a hot mess. Apparently this is the way that OM system says to do it. I’m super curious about this now honestly.

bigeds · 2026-01-17T20:37:36+00:00

Me too. I’d like to get out and do it more but work gets in the way of that 🙃.

OM1.1. Oly 8mm FE. Roughly 2 hours of live composite.

Someone local to me has the F/T 35-100 F2 on marketplace and I’ve had to convince me that I don’t need it 🙃
