I took this image and hundreds of others in the same mould, with my OM30 (OMF) camera regarded as “inferior” by the camera cognoscenti of the day. However, like the OM-D range now, it had unique features not found in other equipment and so it earned its place in my camera bag for specific assignments. Read more about the “killer app” of the OM30 in the blog article. (Reproduced from an archived 35mm transparency)
