I’ve bought a new camera system!

This week I'll be making a video about macro photography and I'll go through the process and the reason I felt I needed to move into a different direction as far as gear is concerned. Why not use my Nikon Z7ii? Well I did try but for reasons I'll explain in the video it's far from ideal as a macro system. I also needed a rugged back-up camera that doesn't take up too much space in my camera bag for the winter and my trip to Norway. I'll still be using my Nikon system for my landscape work though and I may even update my Z7ii over the winter.

A few years ago Olympus were kind enough to bring over a OM-D E-M1mk2 system for me to try and I was really impressed with some of the features. I went with a Fuji system that I was also testing at the time in the end purely on value of the deal, but I missed the Olympus. It's great to be reunited with the brand after all these years and I can't wait to get out in the local fields and woodland with it and put it through its paces. The video isn't filmed yet but I'm hoping to get it filmed and put together for the end of August.

I've bought an OM-D E-M1X along with a 60mm f2.8 macro and their 12-45mm (24-90 full frame equivalent)
