BRIEF EXPOSURES

OLYMPUS has closed the book on its original Four Thirds digital camera system which included the hugely successful lineup of E Series D-SLRs, including the compact E-400 models (which started with the E-410 locally). The camera bodies haven’t been available for a long time (the pro-level E-5 was the last), but Olympus has still been offering a selection of Zuiko Digital Four Thirds mount lenses. Production has now ceased completely, but Olympus will continue to make a mount adaptor so existing examples can be used on Micro Four Thirds camera bodies. Of course, Micro Four Thirds evolved out of Four Thirds (the sensors are the same size) and Olympus has since enjoyed on-going success with both its Digital PEN and OM-D lines.
