>be Shigemi Sugimoto>former principal engineer of Olympus' camera business>have your entire fucking division bought out by Japan Industrial Partners>literally the King Von of the Japanese consumer technology industry>killed Sony Vaio>killed Toshiba>killed Rohm Semiconductor>killed Olympus' Telecommunications sector before they killed off their camera business>raped Japan's thermography business>spent the latter part of 30 years patent-trolling and carving out corporations>buy back OM System with own money like a boss>never make the company publically traded>never sell out to Israel like Nikon (TowerJazz)>one OM employee leaked that this motherfucker was gonna make a medium format Olympus camera before the company implodedMore autists like him should lead camera companies. He will save the camera industry.
>>4521129>israel badBetter, bigger sensors tho and z mount lenses are superiorTruly those who bless Israel will be blessed… with the best cameras for the least money
>>4521132still worse full frame cameras than Pentax
M43 users are the most pathetic of all gearfags. Endless cope, spite, and discussion of corporate news.For the sake of your mental health, sell your m43 gear and get any other system, does not matter whch.
>>4521134Thats why pentax is crushing it and nobody uses nikon amirite>bless Israel>shoot Nikon>enioy life
>>4521164I shoot Canon EF but okay I just really like Shigemi Sugimoto for being fire enough to buy out Olympus with his own money and keeping it as a private company
>>4521164amazing how smallest market share causes most seethe.
>>4521203Why wouldn't he? They released the same camera three times. Imagine watching someone do that to your legacy.Hopefully he moves on to bigger sensors this time.
>>4521229OM with APS-C on L-mount would be amazing.
>>4521230Would they still be able to sell $4000 lenses?
>>4521210I still cannot get why for "le street photography" they are shilling a huge rectangular brick with same mind numbing PASM dials.
>>4521230>L mountEw. OM makes good optics. Don't associate them with any more panajunk let alone 徕卡. That's what killed them the first time.
>>4521229>Hopefully he moves on to bigger sensors this time.OM System employees said the E-M1X was originally supposed to be almost GFX-format, it's literally a M4/3 camera in a medium format body, but Olympus began to crumble at the same exact time the project was underway and they had already finished the chassis prototype and dual-processor board so to recoup costs they legitimately just stuck the E-M1 III sensor in and tried to make back the money spent on itas far as sources go, the E-M1X medium format project never actually stopped though, https://www.43rumors.com/ft3-om-digital-is-thinking-about-going-medium-format/there's talks that OM System has been continuing to develop it for as long as the company has existed (5 years now?)
>>4521229>Why wouldn't he?True, it's just so surprising to see stuff like this happening these days, people who actually give a shit about their companies enough to spend likely hundreds of millions of dollars to rescue it from a patent troll and take the L just because they care about it
>>4521313makes sense because the em1x never made sense to memega 4/3 would be fantastic
>>4521315It's going to be a $4000 camera then, so I'm not going to buy it.
>>4521315Sooo you want an 4:3 camera with digital MF sensor size which is made by the same company that got venture-capital'd into releasing the same camera/lens combo several times in a row because they can't justify RnD costs? Brudduh you understand if they actually made it they would be charging phase-one money for it right? So you're saying you would (and could) buy a Phase One right now but don't because it's 3:2 and not 4:3?
>>4521330You don't get how cheap passion project companies can go with loss leadersIf you assume videographers can go fuck themselves and buy a camcorder and 100mp is already enough, all 4:3 medium format uses OLD off the shelf sony sensors. They could undercut the fuji GFX easily the same way Nikon undercuts everyone else, selling basically highly improved A7IIIs (Z5II/ZF) for less than fuji sells significantly worse aps-c shitters.
>>4521330>Brudduh you understand if they actually made it they would be charging phase-one money for it right? So you're saying you would (and could) buy a Phase One right nowHonestly.... Yeah?The appeal for Olympus/OM to me is the weather sealing, it's the best in the market with the exception of Leica except Leica doesn't seal their lenses as well as their bodies when OM does, I shoot exclusively in third world warzones and in countries with weather so fucking shit that sandstorms and rainstorms basically annihilate the earth every yearI've seen pro body D850s die in situations 1/3 as bad as the ones I shoot inI've always wanted to go medium format but GFX/Hasselblad is just never going to survive in my case and that's the harsh reality, I can't keep using weather bags and covers because in the right situation it almost always looks like a concealed weapon cover the police use in rain and I get immediately arrested (has happened before)I would honestly be the prime audience for an Olympus/OM medium format camera - would buy it in day 1 I think even if I have to take out a loan
>>4521134>yeah bro just wait 10 years to finally use your "heritage" lenses at their actual focal length while all your peers have bought canon 5Ds and Nikon D700s
>>4521444Huh? why are we bringing 2008 here
I only know that i shoot a D700 with AI lenses and curse Israel daily
>>4521470>Oh wowww anonnn, is that a D700? I love the color rendition of the old strong CFAs. They have so much sou->You do what now?
>>4521470D700 was before they started investing in Israeli sensors, so it's based
>>4521129Inconceivably based behaviour. Gearfags and kikefags alike are damned to seethe FOREVER about this, and that's a good thing!
>>4521509If CEOs had as much backbone as spine as this guy and Gabe Newell we would be in a much better place but in the end the Russians invented communism for a reason
>>4521511>but in the end the Russians invented communism for a reasonTo produce quality Zenits?
>>4521509>jews btfo because olympus is going to use shitty sony sensors instead of glorious towerjazzhttps://towersemi.com/technology/cmos_image_sensor/professional-photography-cis/Olympus is just committing suicide again>>4521511Because they didn't have the spine to ban trading in abstracted capital, so they just went the brute route of robbing and killing everyone they didn't like>be communism>kill half as many people as the 1400 year muslim conquest in less than a century>leave one country collapsed and losing a war to slavic new jersey, 3 in perpetual collapse, and one brutally capitalist with pictures of marx
>>4521515I prefer Praktica.>>4521541I don't care if God himself designed it. I'm not buying an Israeli product.
>>4521545>I don't care if God himself designed it. I'm not buying an Israeli product.Why? Because they BTFO jordanians and egyptians that were illegally occupying the jewish homeland? For what retarded reason? Do you know anything about the history of the region? "Palestine" was never a country people or culture, it was an administrative region that was occupied by diaspora from surrounding levantine countries with very few ancient groups (most of which are Jewish). What you know as palestine is the muslim claim to palestine, not a unique oppressed country like tibet."palestine" (occupying islamic crusaders) refused and blew up some civilians.https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/bill-clinton-palestinians-israel-223176At this point anyone telling you to care about a genocide in palestine is making shit up to cover for actual genocides in tibet, xinjiang, and occupied ukraine. There was never a genocide in palestine. Occupying jordians and egyptians lost some wars.Oh, and don't forget to boycott the entire first world. Every advanced country has crossed some lines in war. Boycott the third world too. They do fucked up shit daily.
>>4521553/p/ what kind of photos does someone have to take to produce a masterpiece of comedy like this
>>4521567>No argumentThere is no way to be an antisemite and also be a rational person who lives in realityYour kind thrives off being stupid and believing alt history nonsense
>>4521577That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
>>4521600>i can not defend my beliefs, but you have to give me a fucking history lecture"Palestinians" were only ever muslim jordanians claiming palestine (an administrative zone).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_Conferencehttps://www.jpost.com/middle-east/report-jordan-to-start-revoking-palestinian-leaderss-citizenship-552691They are not "the real jews" either they're all relatedhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11543891/They're jordanians. They have a homeland. It's called jordan.Go forth and be a nazi no longer.
>>4521610Well, *hadEver since Jordan doesn't even want them back anymore>Can we give up>no you pissed off the jews>Pls>we took some of you back and you just tried to stage a coup. thanks for black september asshole.>;_;Jordanian and Palestinian are even the same ethnic group and same culture, just artifically divided by british politics. It can't be "genocide" its like if some british had set up a mini-britain in an abandoned area of ireland and the irish came back and kicked them out, and britain proper didn't want them back
>>4521610yea idc lolAs the Holy Land, Israel should belong to the Catholic Church. Whatever happens besides that is not my problem. Simple as.
>>4521612>Israel should belong to the people who worship a mother goddess, a bunch of statues of dead jews, and a gamerPretty sure that's baiting God to do something absolutely biblical friendoBut what about cameras again?I hope he buys tower sensors anyways to make you seethe
>>4521615Say Christ is Lord
>>4521621Order me a pizza. Pickled jalapenos, grilled chicken, mushrooms, and onions. Large.
>>4521623With subhuman toppings like that? No way, fag.Nice try, rabbi.
>>>>/pol/ is that waywe are here to talk about how Shigemi Sugimoto BTFO'd capital investment firms to create Japan's only privately-traded photography brand
>>4521650Its meaningless because quarter frame is basically useless and nikon has better weather sealing than olympus>mfturds be like: *pays $6000 to shoot at iso 800 f8 minimum* duh lenssss is liiiiike an inch or two shooooeter durrrrrrr
you make it seem bad anon have you seen houshi vid at youtube you limit your thive for success to improve inhouse living conditions no more
>>4521473imagine abbys turpent breast massage your shoulders anon
Just ignore any anon that says foolthurds or mfturds etc., they're gearfags that couldn't cope with other people enjoying a smaller sensor and not being able to stop them so they've reduced themselves to name-calling. They're mad forever that Olympus actually earned their place and will cope and seethe and mald about it incoherently until the end of time. In fact some of them are so desperate that they'll bat for APS-C now just because it's bigger than m43 and therefore better in their mind. Sad!
>>4521877>olympus earned their place<1% market sharewidely considered pointlessly bad for serious photography (at least digishits are smaller than a fuji)shilled by thirdies in me/sea countriesworse weather sealing than nikonworse color science than snoyits over forever. the new pentax.
>>4521879And yet not only are they not going anywhere, they've got enough staying power to come back from the dead. They won, you lost, stay mad forever.
>>4521315>>4521313I'd also be interested in seeing them do a true E-5 Mark II DSLR, have it act as a direct competitor to the Pentax K-3 III
4:3 ratio is top tier
>>4521881Its more like the om system brand was so worthless JIP was glad to sell it off for so little money a retired middle manager could afford it
>>4521129The sony a7c made this entire brand obsolete. What did he buy it for, $5?
>>4521883DSLRs aren't coming back man I'm sorryand nobody would be interested in a 4/3 DSLR besides you>>4521905and next you're gonna tell me about the 35mm pancake lens that somehow lets in more light despite a smaller aperture because uhhh hole size or somethingDo you just have to show up at every thread?
>>4521879> <1% market share2.5% actually>widely considered pointlessly bad for serious photography (at least digishits are smaller than a fuji) by whom?>shilled by thirdies in me/sea countriesthere are no third world countries in either of those places>worse weather sealing than nikonnot true, IP53 vs. IPXX>worse color science than snoynot true, you can get the RAWs from DPReview
>>4521905Sony can't even process saved RAW files in the camera lol
>>4522007IP53 means literally nothingNikon is used in space and by war and National Geographic photographersNikon has better everything than shitlympus. Any IP rating below IP64 is worthless and id rather nikon fund their own shit than give money to IEC for certification.
>>4522026do this with your nikonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BtUsPLx2dM
>>4522029>pay $2000 for a phone sensor>MUH FAUCETIP53 doesnt guarantee against water ingress, only “protection from 60 degree water sprays”. He 100% put that in a bag of rice later. https://youtube.com/watch?v=RB7vvAnKDaA
>>4522029Do this with your lolympushttps://www.nikonusa.com/press-room/z-9-space-stationSpace electronics require superior sealing due to conductive dust and debris floating around
>>4522031>Space electronics require superior sealing due to conductive dust and debris floating aroundMust be good sealing then, as long as the plastic lens mount doesn't snap off.
>>4522060>gets so mad at based nikon he has to vicariously experience smashing a d810 against a wallOM5+capture clip status?
>>4521234nta but OM doesn't really promote their cameras as le street.. They've mostly been struggling to market their cameras as outdoors equipment
>>4522101Except that they pay youtube gearfags to shill OM-3 as exactly that.
>>4522005People would buy it if it had the 50mp sensor which is becoming old tech now Beat Panasonic to the 8k game
>>4522026>Any IP rating below IP64 is worthlessCool, Nikon is infinitely below IP64, Olympus isn't neither NASA nor National Geographic have shot in challenging climates, all you have to worry about in space is cosmic radiation and National Geographic takes faraway pictures of animals sometimes>>4522063>gets so mad at based nikon he has to vicariously experience smashing a d810 against a wallYou only have to put on a telephoto for an extended amount of time for an F-mount to disassemble itself, no smashing required, Nikon is that trash
>>4521129where did the /m43/ general go? it was always fun
>>4521330yes
>>4521902I wish there were 4:3 photo printers. I hate cutting my prints :/
>>4522026I have both Nikons and OMs and I trust both when it comes to weather sealing
