Japanese Grand Prix award: OM 90mm macro is the lens of the year
The 2023 lens of the year award did go to the Om 90mm macro lens for the following reason:
This is the macro lens with the longest focal length among the Micro Four Thirds standards. It achieves a maximum shooting magnification of 2x (equivalent to 4x on 35mm format) and can also be used with a teleconverter. It has been highly praised for its advanced features, including “up to 7 stops of image stabilization” and “depth composite shooting,” on compatible camera bodies. The rare “180mm” (35mm format equivalent) angle of view is easy to maintain a working distance, and it isalso effective for capturing distant scenery in landscape photography. This lens has further expanded the shooting scenes of the Micro Four Thirds system, which is known for its compact and lightweight design.”

The Peak Design Micro Clutch already collected over half a million Dollars
The new Peak Design Micro Clutch collected over half a million Dollars on Kickstarter (click here). This is what they write:
Micro Clutch is a hand strap. It’s optimized for mirrorless cameras. We made Micro Clutch for two reasons:
- Cameras have, for the most part, gotten smaller.
- Hands have, for the most part, remained the same stupid size.
These facts cannot exist peacefully with one another without some sort of tool to bridge their contradictory nature. This is where we come in.
Micro Clutch provides security, stability, and comfort in a delightfully well-designed little package.

OM-1 review by Ken Rockwell: “I’m impressed”
OM-1 at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon. GetOlympus. Calumet DE. Fotokoch DE. Wex UK. Olympus DE, Olympus UK, Olympus FR, Olympus IT, Olympus ES. Olympus NL. Olympus BE. Olympus AT. Olympus CH.
Ken Rockwell tested the OM-1 and concluded:
For nature and landscapes it all comes down to which brand gets the color rendition you prefer. I love what I get from my Nikons and Canons, and prefer the OM-1 to my Sonys and Fujis. This is art and we all have very different tastes. The OM-1 has by far the best built-in stabilization I’ve ever used, and with its greater depth of field and base ISO of 200 lets me get cleaner shots with more in focus than my larger format cameras hand-held!
God has spoken and he loves the OM-1 :)
