Premium/ Behind the Lens: Olympus PEN E-PL8 Photo Adventures (VIDEO)
In this photography journey, Hugo Pinho embarks on an unconventional choice. Venturing to the serene banks of the Mondego River in Portugal, he deliberately left behind the PEN-F, the OM-D, and his array of lenses. Instead, he embraced the unexpected companion – the Olympus PEN E-PL8, a compact 16-megapixel mirrorless camera introduced in 2016.
Driven by a desire to immerse himself fully in the tranquillity of the location, Hugo took a bold step to simplify the entire process. Liberating himself from concerns about gear, he opted for the M.Zuiko 17mm F1.8 lens and exclusively utilized the “Grainy Film” option, a distinctive choice among the picture modes available on all Olympus cameras.
