I’ve used Canon since I started photography in 2018. Then in 2023 I switched to a secondhand OM-D E-M1 Mark III. It was supposed to be temporary. An extra camera on hand for light-weight travel macro shooting in India.
But I loved it so much that I ended up shooting only with OM. About a year later OM send me their OM-1 Mark II to try. And maybe I wanted to become an ambassador for them? I said yes.
OM System dominates the macro niche. Their M.Zuiko 90mm F3.5 Macro IS Pro is an insect photographer’s dream: super-fast autofocus, 2x magnification (double most competitors), weather-sealed, stellar stabilization, and, crucial for me, automatic focus bracketing WITH flash sync.
Other brands offer focus bracketing WITH FLASH too (EOS R5 mkII | Sony A7R V | Nikon Z8), but it’s limited to high-end models. And their macro lenses max out at 1-1.4x magnification. OM System’s 2x + flash-sync combo is unmatched for handheld insect stacks in the field.
