Fun with MFT/ M43

Yes, the LCD is prone to degradation. Looks like it's the anti-reflective coating that detaches, and cleaning it with any kind of solvent makes it worse. It might be possible to remove this layer entirely and then apply a good screen protector to mask the rough surface, but don't take my word for it…
 
I have been using Panasonics for a few years now. I have nothing at all against OM. Just happened on a good deal with my first camera Panasonic G6. Every once in a while, I consider getting a FF. But, larger and more expensive lenses are not something I long for. So, I'm in for the long haul. And, I plan to visit this platform more often in the future. Happy New Years to everyone.

Similar history with me. Many years ago I needed a very small digital camera with the ability to change lenses and all this needs to fit in the very small hotel safes while I am travelling in Asia and China. I had already fullframe DSLRs and APS-C DSLRs.

During my research, I realized that the only solution for this use case was the Panasonic Lumix GM5. So I bought a GM5 and a couple of Lumix lenses for it.

Man, I was surprised how good the image quality was already with this tiny sensor and only 16MP. So this hooked me up for the MFT system. I switched later to the GX85 and then to the GX9. I re-bought again a GM5 a couple of months ago second hand in red just for my emotional history. I just loved this camera.

I have only a few Olympus lenses (the 60 Macro and the 9-18 WA zoom). The rest is all Lumix.

I really hope that we will see in 2024 a true successor of the GX9 with a better viewfinder, better sensor (not more than 24MP please), no 4k crop in video and no black screen when connecting with an HDMI cable.

Hi epixx, if you want to, I can change your username within seconds. Just leave me a PM what the username shall be.

Good to see old members beeing active again. As far as I can see, you used to have also Sigma Foveon cameras and MFT. Good to see more people with experience in these systems. I still dream of a new "true" Foveon sensor camera in L-Mount. :love:

Happy new year!
