The Olympus OM-1 (In the future it will be called ‘OM System’) immediately brought my 68-year-old brain back to the days when I bought my first Olympus OM-system film camera. That camera changed my life. And if I were still a practicing, professional, bird photographer I have no doubt this camera would do likewise.

I’ve published more than 9000 blog posts, magazine articles and podcasts and NEVER – EVER did I expect I’d be writing a review like this one. Hold on to your horses. I love a SONY camera. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Surprised the heck out of me too. But just because (and only because) I am at a stage in my career where size, weight and image quality have to be just right, I am able to say I love the Sony a7C.
They are both very good and while the Sony is more expensive, it’s not like it’s overpriced. You get good value there for your money. BUT…
The Tamron price is ridiculously low for all this technology and high image quality.
The Tamron is not a perfect lens but it’s probably better than most of the photographers who are using it. And I do not think the Sony is $600 to $850 better than the Tamron – not even close.
The three lenses I am talking about are the Tamron 17-28 | 28-75 | 70-180 i.e., the trinity zooms covering everything from 17mm to 180mm with a fast fixed aperture and all three together cost slightly more than just the one Sony 70-200 G Master.
Lumix sent me a GH6 and the 200 f/2.8 to test on my Alaska trip last month. I have barely even heard of this lens so I was excited to try it.
Ulanzi is well-known for making high-quality, budget solutions for photographers. Those two things usually do not go together. . . high-quality at budget prices. But in my experience, everything I’ve seen from Ulanzi deserves to hold that spot.
