Olympus OM-D E-M5, E-M1, E-M10 - Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 Owners Thread

While I have a bit of GAS, anyone using the Kase magnetic filters and what do you think?
Hi, I started off with the kase wolverine filters a while back and had no issue with those at all, even stacking cpl and nd had no colour casts or vignetting that I noticed, in the past couple of months I’ve moved over to the kase armour system with the square filters and again I’ve had no issues at all. I’ve still kept the wolverine set for when I want to travel light and just keep those in the bottom of the backpack.

I think my issue is that I want a set but don't know if i need a set if you see what i mean.

I already have a cpl i bought from amazon which was a K&F Concept 62mm Polarising Filter Ultra Low Reflection Circular Polarizing CPL, Ultra Definition, 28 Layer Multi Coated Polarized MRC Filter (Nano-X Series) and i've not even tried the inbuild ND filters in the OM1 Mk2 yet.

That was my first stumbling block with them especially with so much being possible in lightroom etc now I guess for me I like to get the image as close to perfect as possible to start with and I also enjoy the process of setting everything up etc. it’s just the cpl which isn’t something you can recreate in post.
Unfortunately I haven’t tried the om1 so I’m not sure how good the inbuilt nd is but I do remember watching plenty of YouTube reviews showing it and it seemed quite impressive.

It's pretty good on my EM1X.

But it won't replace physical ND filters.

i.e. the in-built ND's on the Olympus cameras don't produce as real an effect.

That's the best way I can describe it.

Well, my om1 body is going back to Oly to fix an intermittently stiff command dial. So back to the EM-10 for a few weekends it seems. Looks tiny on the 300m f4.
