By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 30, 2016

The Retro Olympus Pen-F pulled away from the currently available line up of Olympus cameras despite having 4 more megapixels on a m43 sensor, which is a very impressive achievement. I can’t wait to see what Olympus pulled off with the E-M1 Mark II.
