I paid a fair bit more for my Pen-F than the EM1ii I have for sale, but it was in mint condition – although I would have preferred a silver one. I had an eye out for them for about 6 months, I saw only two or three in that time in average condition – aside from the expensive used ones from Japan on Ebay or $$$$ new from America – which is where the owner of mine bought it. Take your time, enjoy the hunt, it is worth the wait 😀

After reading about the Pen F on your site and seeing the pictures, I am looking for one myself, only they are quite rare to find here, and if you do find one they are more expensive than an E-M1 MKII , but I’m patient and meanwhile I’m really enjoying my Olympus cameras – and really, the move from my Pentax DSLRs to Fujifilm was interesting and a good experience, but now that I’ve been with Olympus for a while I know I made the right decision.

The OM-1 is a bigger step on paper with the new 4-layer sensor, but in reality, except for low light and focus tracking, and at times a little more effort, the EM1ii is just as capable and I think more ergonomic. Having said that, I’m keeping the OM1 because of it’s extra features and selling the EM1ii after picking up a Pen-F.
I found the OM and EM very similar bodies, but the Pen is a different tool altogether and a joy to use creatively, though not quite as capable as the EM1ii – particularly focusing in low light. They pair very well with different, but complementary features. I’ve never been more content with my gear.
