I had a chance to loan an OM System OM-1 mk ii for a few weeks recently, so I wrote down some thoughts on using it vs my usual Canon kit and whether it would tempt me to switch over.

@[email protected] I was just Googling about what other people think of M43 for say northern lights shooting, wanting to find some samples, and I came across this link from OM Systems themselves.

Even when scaled down for website consumption, you can see that the sky isn’t really clean. And that’s not even getting to ISO 3200 yet. Looks almost like shots I have taken on FF at ISO 25000.
@[email protected] It’s definitely a major weakness of the system, but I guess that’s the tradeoff really. The M43 cameras are great tools for some uses, and suffer for others. I can’t knock people for using what tools they have to hand for some photos it might not be best for, but I certainly wouldn’t choose M43 for astro work!
Thank you also for the video, I’ll give it a look later
