No way!
Been busy elsewhere here.
I've loved these last series you've posted. Magnificent details.
Not sure if there's any Rails left around here. Feral cats! I've trapped quite a lot but notice a new one.

Here's a few of my recent activity

Good to see your still around ,lots of fuss about the new OM1 over here at the moment ,I’m sitting back and waiting for real results from people I trust

No, still got my gear, just haven't had the urge. Chest pain all this last week, which makes me reluctant to do too much ..... been thinking of some things to try though

Inspired by Jeff's comment (or shamed ) I grabbed the M5 Mk11 and the PL 15 f/1.7 off the table, as I left to take the dog for a short walk. It was after 7pm and the light going, but just had to watch the cricket. NZ is hosting the Womens International competition, and NZ needed to win today .

More .....

Does anyone know what this fruit/flower/whatever is?

Just a couple looking up into some tall trees ..... didn't get the angle of the second right.

good to see you out again rose .. no idea on the fruit .. nothing I would like a lady to read

clearing out the garage the other day and I found a couple of old black plate glass shelves I had forgotten about ,10+ years ago .. so before taking to the tip I realised one of them would be handy for macro reflections especially as it fits neatly inside my mini home studio .. just tried a few shots out using the omd1-mkiii and Yi-42.5 f1.8 lens . worked a treat ,just a play so far but gonna be useful when the flowers /blossom starts

Pretty quiet here re OM-1 too but yesterday I got an email from the camera store I bought my first EM5 from to say the OM-1 had just arrived and could be played with.
Next time I'm there I'll have a peep.
It's high on my wish list! But keen to see some real life, general public users.
Happy for you to buy one and expound the real virtues of it

All quips aside it sounds a major step up on my EM1 2.
What the EM1X should have been?

That glass shelf makes a very useful photographic item.
Good find

Richard as my 1-mkiii is only 7 months old , it puts the OM1 out of the running for the foreseeable future , I will be looking at results though and as this year is also looking to be full of unwanted pressures ,I can’t see it happening soon .
Never say never though . Once they sort out LR uploads etc , we shall see .. we also have grey importers over here which should equate to lower prices , and there’s a pretty fair chance that some of the new breed of system swappers won’t get on with olympus and will quickly revert back. To canikon might mean some slightly used bargains .. bet there’s some by April
