Facelifting the Oly
I have had an Olympus M43 for a few years.
Recently I noticed a comment, I think on PF that accessory prices are low.
Until now I just had the body, not even an M43 lens, I mostly used it with old Pentax 110 18mm lens.
So searching for lowest price I found an "Open Box" lens. It is an M Zuiko Digital14~42mm 1:3.5 -5.6
An ordinary kit lens I think, but it does have a manual focus ring. ( I set S_AF +MF trim)
Then added a superseded VF-3 electronic viewfinder on a special price from Japan.
This EVF has adjustable diopter which I need now. A firmware update to allow the VF-3 went smoothly
The EVF provides a major improvement to the usability of the camera.
I have set the camera just to make 1600 by 1200 camera jpgs of about 600 kB for faster files.
I think the Oly's best feature is its intelligent fill flash mode.
The downside is that there is about half a second hesitation for the exposure after the button is pressed.
All in all I am pleased with the updates, for a small outlay. Anybody can use this camera.
