I was a Pentax shooter back in the early 80’s in college. When I recently came back to interchangeable lens cameras, I knew I wanted mirrorless as I am a tech guy and love “new” technology. Some quick research let me immediately to the micro fourthirds systems as I knew, for me, small and light was going to be the primary factor that would allow me to stay engaged with photography. If the systems were big and bulky and expensive, I would simply not use them and revert back to using my iPhone.
Skip ahead a bit… I fell in love with the Olympus Pen F… but that is a post for another day.
All that to say… Happy Birthday Olympus?
Here is a nice video they have shared to celebrate a long history … enjoy.

NOTE: Olympus has since spun off / sold their camera business and those videos are no longer available.
