For the second time in 18 months, my Olympus OM-D E-M10 has died. Last year an unnamed photographer we shall call L*wk dropped his camera onto tarmac, crippling the pop-up flash, and denting the body. The camera still lived on, but was no longer fully functional. So off to Hardly Normal Armadale I went to pick up a bargain-priced replacement camera, an identical one but less than half the price of the original.
All went well till halfway through my Chicago trip a few months ago, when my camera decided that it would over-expose all shots in sunlight. No matter how I adjusted the exposure, it was way off. I reset to factory settings, and still it malfunctioned. When home again, I took it to be repaired under warranty, but to no avail. The repair shop told me I didn't know how to adjust the exposure and said there was nothing wrong. I took it out one weekend, and again, the overexposure persisted.
So until Christmas I'm without a decent camera, and this blog is temporarily out of action. I know my thousands of fans (or at least my mum) will struggle to occupy themselves with no new photos from me for a while, but don't despair - I'll be blogging my top films and novels of the year very soon.
Laters,
Lewk
