I've been using my possibly abused E-1 which has a superb mirror and sensor and therefore may only have the small number of clicks (800) advertised. Because of doubts about that camera I started a gallery for comparison. One can see it at http://lawrencehelm.smugmug.com/ "The Newish Old E-1." I posted some earlier E-1 photos and then quite a number with this questionable camera. In retrospect and despite the damage to the underside of the camera, I'm happy with it.
But I decided to return to my mint E-1 to put things in perspective. However, the prospect for the day was rain and the sky was very dark. In the past I would have taken my E-3 and 14-54II but decided to go ahead with my plan. It never rained, but the sky was so heavily overcast I left the E-1 at ISO 800 for the entire outing.
You can see the shots I took this morning, at least 10 of them, in "The Newish Old E-1" gallery, photos 261 to 270. I did very minor PP on some of them with Lightroom 5, a bit of noise control in some cases and a bit more exposure in some others, but that was it.
In recent photos I was having to do quite a bit more PP with my damaged E-1. I used the same settings on my mint E-1 this morning and the photos were fine. The problem with the damaged E-1 was that the red tint was overwhelming. I had to back off on that with Lightroom to get a more normal look, but I didn't have to do that this morning with my mint E-1. Since they are set the same I've decided to do a factory reset on my damaged one.
Photo 264 is a bit strange. Something caught and ate a hawk, but the lower feathers are intact. Someone else, apparently came along and set some sticks next to the feathers reminding me of an Indian ritual. I didn't disturb it.
