OM System has been crazy busy over the past 12 months. From the launch of the brilliant OM-1, to OM-5 and the stunning 90mm Macro lens, it’s time to reflect what OM System has now and what I think, as a heavy user and a fan, about what’s happening now and the future of the micro four thirds format and the brand.
