In today’s video, I’m sharing my latest adventure in the Micro Four Thirds world — shooting with the Olympus E-M5 Mark II and the Olympus 17mm f/1.8 lens.

This little combo might be from 2014, but wow… the colors, detail, and film-like look straight out of camera blew me away. I’ll walk you through a full Lightroom session, show RAW vs JPEG comparisons, and explain why this aging MFT setup is quickly becoming my favorite walk-around kit for street and family photography.

If you’re wondering whether older cameras like the E-M5 Mark II still hold up in 2025 — or if the Micro Four Thirds system is worth it — this video will surprise you.
