The 56 is a large, bulky and not very fast one trick pony by comparison. It does produce stunning images and make you feel very special when you use it though. Pretty easy choice to me
The 35/1.4 is what stays on 99% of the time. Strangely on my Sony I use the 35mm more.
I wonder if Olympus UK will sell stuff off cheap - I understand use of the Olympus name is not part of the sale.

So I believe, share price looks good so it must just be the camera section that was running at a loss.
Yes - that's where the company makes money. Olympus as a company will continue - it just won't make cameras.

The nice bit was the build. Cheap full frame really does feel cheap, despite the equivalent results. Fuji lenses just feel great. I do miss the system a bit.

You have a dark, cool image with a narrow beam of warm orange light. The dark light is around 2-3 stops darker, although does crush to black in places.
Doesn't matter whether it was a strobe, speedlight, continuous LED or a natural sunset on a window that had one part of the blind left open - they'll all look the same. You've identified the key points:
- warm key light
- flagged key light (ie it's restricted, either with flags or a snoot or other means)
- bluey green underexposed image - exposure is for the key light only.
Next is composition - it's wide. I actually think I'd prefer if it was cropped harder on top and bottom for a panoramic image, but my tastes rarely align with others! A telephoto lens would not achieve the look.
Lastly is the subject. They're positioned in a particular way and shot from a particular angle. End result is a nifty shot.
Snow shooting in January was fun, but I think February will be fun, so I'm looking forward to it already
I want to quickly take pictures in London with the Contax G2!

Went for a walk yesterday and took pics with phone using left hand and TBF pics are respectable it's just not the same experience.
Compact cam?
Im just glad I can still drum and play golf, for now anyway.
RE camera I did have a thought yesterday and be as it was one of my fave systems I think I am going to try it... Olympus EM5/EP5/EPL5.. I remember them having an excellent touchscreen and touch focus/shoot worked very well.
for the price you can pick them up now, well worth a punt.
A monopod may help?
Or, if you wanted to do landscape, a wireless shutter release and a tripod. I have one of these and it's tiny and very good - I use it with a Canon 6D which looks hilariously big on it. I paid £35 on ebay last year.

Apologies, I know you know your gear...
