Some people commented that the Kodak Charmera is nothing but a hype and it will be forgotten quickly, saying it is basically rubbish that is piling up on landfill. I get it, it is not for you, you don't have to like it, but you also don't have to be so mean. Isn't this the same thing as a full frame shooter calling a Micro Four Thirds camera rubbish? I wonder why photography community is so toxic! Can't we be happy shooting with whatever we have without calling another person's camera a trash? Well, it has been half a year, and I am still actively shooting with my Kodak Charmera, and I am loving it more and more each time I use it. I made another video to bring you guys along with me to shoot on the streets of Kuala Lumpur with the Kodak Charmera, and I also share 10 tips and tricks on how to get the best out of the toy camera!

After testing the OM System 50-200mm F2.8 PRO last year, I was itching for a fast telephoto zoom lens, but was unwilling to fork out USD3500-3700 for that lens. Therefore, when I saw the Olympus Four Thirds DSLR lens 50-200mm F2.8-3.5 in the marketplace going for about USD250, I just could not resist this bargain. I have used the old Olympus 50-200mm F2.8-3.5 extensively on my Four Thirds DSLRs E-5 and E-520 back in the day, but have not tested it on Micro Four Thirds cameras. I thought it would be so fun to bring this combo out to shoot some tennis action. I caught the TennisMalaysia National Circuit Leg 1 back in January 2026, and I am sharing some thoughts about this lens on OM-1 as well as plenty of new images. I have also made a video to talk about this here (click).
