seemed durable enough, so off I went to the little island of Hilbre off the coast of West Kirby. You walk in wellington boots across the estuary at low tide to reach it, stepping in little pools of leftover seawater, slipping on seaweed covered rocks and keeping to everyone else’s tracks to avoid the quicksand. To get up onto the island itself it’s fun to climb the sandstone rocks, and so I did with my little E-M1 bag at my back. “It was a beautiful day and I used the E-M1 in manual mode and manual focus for the whole day. The EVF was so easy to use, and the manual focus options were great. Being able to do all my shooting, including rough checking of exposure quality, through the viewfinder was fantastic. It was a bright
sunny day, but I was also able to put the E-M1 through its paces in the shade back at home too, taking photos in a bluebell-littered stand of trees. “I returned the E-M1 unscathed, happy knowing that all I needed to do was wait for the E-M5 Mark II to come out. I’m now the proud owner of one, along with 12mm lens. I’m so pleased with my decision, and now I see the E-M5 Mark II is available on the scheme too! Thank you to Olympus for offering such a great service to nervous camera buyers. It got me off the Internet and out taking photos, which is what I should have been doing! In the near future I plan to use Test & Wow to try out the M.ZUIKO 60mmmacro lens too.”
