Olympus OM Kit Review

This Olympus OM kit review article summarizes our experiences shooting with this M4/3 gear over the past 5 years. As has been stated numerous times on this website, the choice of camera equipment is intensely personal. What works well for one photographer, may not be the best choice for another.
