Olympus Visionary Adrian Rohnfelder Hands-On Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II

Adrian Rohnfelder has taken his Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II too some of the most extreme places on planet earth. As a photographer that likes to capture volcanos he often holds his cameras over lava that is too hot to shoot directly. He seems pretty impressed with the capabilities of the camera and has lots of great shots in extreme conditions ranging from lava to waterfalls to icebergs.
