Photo Gallery of Our Day at Castle Leslie with the Olympus OM-D E-M1

23/09/2013 By Heather

Huddled at the end of a higgledy-piggledy road that likes to call itself the town of Glaslough is a secret plentiful in lush greenery, tranquil lakes, serene walks and a castle so grand and well-preserved that one might think it belonged to the Monarchy itself.

It was here at Castle Leslie, one of the most handsome castles-turned-luxury resorts in all of Ireland, that Mathieu and I had our first meeting with the Olympus OM-D E-M1. This blog, MirrorLessons, was born with a review of the OM-D E-M5, so it only seemed right that the first big photography event we attended be in honour of the E-M5’s big brother, the E-M1. It was as if we had come full circle.

The OM-D E-M1, New PRO Lenses and 2014: An Interview with Olympus Europe

18/09/2013 By Heather

Low-light performance – Olympus Europe interview – M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro lens – Autofocus – Our day at Castle Leslie

During our wonderful stay with the Olympus team at Castle Leslie in Ireland, Olympus managers Toshiyuki Terada (Deputy General Manager), Jörn Fandrey (Department Manager, Marketing Communications) and Michael Guthmann (Product Manager) were kind enough to fit in an informal interview with Mathieu and me just before dinner. Sat in one of the many cosy sitting rooms in the main castle building, we put a series of questions to the managers, excited to discover more about the new OM-D E-M1 and the M.Zuiko PRO lens line-up, and what the future holds for Olympus.

Will the new Olympus OM-D E-M1 be the best MFT camera ever?

19/08/2013 By Mathieu

Update: 43rumors has posted some new pictures of the E-M1 with the new 12-40mm f/2.8 lens attached. I have to say that I like the design more now that I can see the body+lens combo. It looks very solid and well-built. We can clearly see now two Fn buttons in addition to the toggle on the rear. There is also a burst/HDR button and an AF area mode button on the top left of the camera. I can’t help but wonder if Olympus will release a black/silver version as well. The tech geek dreamer inside of me would have preferred a new version of the two f/2 constant aperture zoom lenses Olympus had for the Four Thirds DSLR system. It would have been a much more interesting alternative to the two f/2.8 Lumix zoom lenses and would also have attracted more professionals. It is probably something to do with Olympus trying to keep the lenses small enough for the body. Not only, but they are probably harder to design for the MFT system as well. 

I wasn’t planning to write about the rumored OM-D E-M1 until the release became official, but then something unexpected happened yesterday. A video about a pre-production model of the new E-M1 that wasn’t supposed to be published was leaked from the Engadget website. In the video, an American representative from Olympus explains in great detail some of the new features and gives us an up-close look at the new camera.
