OM-D E-M5 Mark III
A Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera from approx. 2019
About
Most of the photos on the site are taken with this camera. I really like it. The lenses are magnificent, it is small and light, and the photos can be superb. Would I buy it again? Maybe not. MFT seems to be running out of steam, Olympus no longer make cameras, and I would like bigger brighter lenses and sensors for night photography. Will I upgrade it? Probably not for a while yet. If OMSystems bring out something amazing in 2026 then I might stick with MFT for the lenses, but otherwise I fancy a Sony A7 next time!

There’s a certain energy to this city late in the evening that feels like NYC. I used a Pro-Mist filter to catch that soft glow from the streetlights and finished it off with a moody edit in Lightroom. Manchester looks good in neon.
