Probably the next most used camera - I have a few good lenses for this - native and adapted.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is a professional Micro Four Thirds body and one of the finest cameras Olympus produced before the brand transitioned to OM System.

It features class-leading in-body image stabilisation, excellent weather sealing, and a superb electronic viewfinder. The M4/3 sensor combined with the crop factor makes it ideal for telephoto and macro work, and the IBIS system pairs beautifully with adapted vintage lenses.

I am still learning and experimenting with all the features it offers - Live ND etc.

Whilst I am becoming used to composing with the screen, as an old vintage camera user, brought up with the viewfinder mode of operation, I have not used this as much.

It can be quite slow when not using auto. Strange, but the results are good.

I am not sure it is a keeper, but it is a thing of beauty to look at - even sitting on a shelf. That probably means it is (a keeper).
