Hi - Although I'm an E-M10 user I also own a couple of other brands of camera so I was wondering if the Foto Fair area is only for sharing Olympus images and other should be shared elsewhere - like maybe via the Lounge area threads ?
Thanks
Jim

Re: Just a Forum "Etiquette" question....
I haven't posted many photos here recently, but I have in the past uploaded images from my Olympus 35 mm and Mamiya medium format film cameras as well as my various E-System cameras.
As far as I can see the only real restrictions apply to competitions, which are usually intended to be for E-System cameras only. (Maybe we could have an occasional competition for film cameras?)
I once fell foul of this when I uploaded a scanned image from one of my OM4Ti film cameras (shot on Velvia), alongside the same image taken on my Olympus E-1. I preferred the Velvia image but somebody spotted that it came from my Nikon LS9000C film scanner (from the EXIF data) and thought it was a Nikon camera!
Re: Just a Forum "Etiquette" question....
I agree with the above. However, I would generally include camera, lens, aperture and lighting. If it had not been for someone identifying their lens, the same model would not have been my most successful and most used lens in recent years.
On the other hand, unless members are users (but not necessarily exclusively) of the E-system this could become just another photography forum.
Re: Just a Forum "Etiquette" question....
When this question has arisen in the past, the concensus seemed to be that it was OK for an occasional posting and provided that the image was identified as non Olympus.
We need to keep in mind that Olympus UK (help to) fund the ongoing operating costs of this site.
Re: Just a Forum "Etiquette" question....
Of course there is always the AP forum, but I was banned from there many years ago for suggesting that Zuiko lenses were better than Canon's, and for making some comment about Canikon's 'dust removal system'.
One of the moderators likened this to (I quote) "lobbing cluster bombs into the Canikon camp".
I guess Olympus didn't have the biggest advertising spend with AP at the time.

Just download an EXIF editor, then you can make your scans/copies anything that you want. If you really want to have fun you can make them E-7 or EM-1 Mk II files.
Or tag them with the model of film camera which is what I've been doing with my slide copies.
It's the image that's important, not the tools used to make it.

Good plan.
An OM4 Ti-D would be almost believable, but an E-7? No chance.

To be honest I don't think I have ever looked at the EXIF of a photo but I have been having fun messing with people who do. The 500 mm f/4 that Olympus have a patent on is a reality in some of my shots, as is the E-7 and an E-MX prototype.

Re: Just a Forum "Etiquette" question....
This is a forum for people whose main camera gear is Olympus... but we all occassionally use the camera to hand which may well not be Olympus (camera, lens, or flash). I think its a case of just don't do it too often, mark the picture accordingly, and only do it when there is a reason to. Of course M43 users may mix and match their gear from many suppliers (one of the benefits) but so as long as Olympus is represented I can't see an issue.
