Clicked your link and noticed that Asia was not featured. Abit sad.

Not easy to be in Olympus and now OMDS' shoes. Allow me to offer my take. As time passes, users preference evolves. The stats quoted by Robin in the video, I went in and confirmed my doubts. https://cameraprism.com/photography-statistics/ It is about the whole camera sale, both built-in and...

Tiok. I've since opted for ... "single fixed box" focus, so the focusing won't autoroam around a "small area".

Got my OM-1 14-40mm F2.8 Pro II Kit. Abit kelong. Online order pick-up-at-store, but no tax-free, they've stock. Buy at the store, got tax-free, no stock. Sigh. But since it's still 22% cheaper, bit the bullet, ordered online, collected at store, magically within a day. Had the staff to change...

Saw Yodobashi discount pricing, OM-1 kit (12-40mm F2.8 Pro II) is 23% or about $800 cheaper than SG. This is before if I manage to claim tax-free. Playing devil's advocate, hopefully, Japan is not trying to dump OM-1 in their local market.

I haven't been replying on recommendations of B+W filter, bcos it appears to be top of the range. If B+W has UV-Haze, while the rest of the brands don't have, then, that could explain why we're not in in the same frequency. Lol. Bear with me, I'm in 2nd tier. My online order of Chinese Nisi...

This is where we can disagree. My understanding of UV filter is, it is loosely used as a physical protection rather than image enhancement/improvement. It also overlaps with lens protector without "UV" label. For haze reduction, it has to be by a polariser. Now, whether we need a glass...

Just realised, in Taobao, mostly sold are UV filter. In Japan Bic Camera, mostly sold are lens protector without mentioning UV. I hope to get this lens protector, Marumi Hikari 62mm EXUS Lens Protection Solid. About S$80, tax included. The 112g steel ball 1.27m height drop test was impressive.

I looked back, actually, I no longer use UV filter (lens protector) in recent years. On sunny day, I put on the polariser. At night or indoor, I remove the polariser and go naked. Lens protector was such a bread and butter basic until I started using polariser. Why UV filter aka lens protector...

Sorry that I didn't make it clearer about the lens protector. I tried not to use the term "filter" because I'm not looking for ND, polariser, and so on. I'm just want to get a 62mm UV aka lens protector, plain vanilla. The prices are for 62mm UV lens protector and brands listed are: Hakuba...

May I ask a stupid question? I chanced upon a Japan online store for lens protector. The price increases like a staircase, from $10 to $100. All made in Japan, I assumed. How to know whether to buy a $30, $80 or $100?

Not sure how sales volume of the whole genre of interchangeable lens camera (ILC) helps. Where is the website link?

Just to complete the picture, woke up early to compile. Lol

Thank you all for the advice. One more doubt, am I too late to upgrade to OM-1 based on the following history: OM-1 Mark II to be announced in Feb 2024? OM-1 announced in Feb 2022 E-M1 Mark III announced in Feb 2020 E-M1X announced in Jan 2019 E-M1 Mark II announced in Dec 2016 E-M1 announced...
