several made it to Norfolk. This one was at Sprowston in Norwich.

Olympus E-M1X
Am I going to follow the herd? My back tells me I should.
Olympus have loaned me a Olympus E-M1X plus a M.Zuiko
Digital ED 300mm F4 IS PRO to play with for a couple of weeks.
I'm still grappling with the new array of buttons. And there
are a lot of them. In the process of picking up the camera I've somehow managed
to take twenty or so shots, before even looking through the viewfinder. I don't
feel I'm in control of the camera yet, but then I have used Canon for at least
the last thirty years so its going to take some time.
Next problem was viewing the results. I'm still using a
prehistoric computer with an old photoshop installed. It won't even open the
DNG files converted from the Olympus RAW Files (ORF).
My back though is happy.
