OM1 mk2, Pana Leica 9mm, 10 image stitch in LR

This is a constant theme I see around the internet and in real life when I talk with people. I'm not trying to talk negatively about them but I'm genuinely curious because my eye can't see such a huge difference in quality compared to any other vintage lenses, to me they all look great.

Maybe my eyes are missing a certain detail?

Also I'm not a very experienced photographer, so maybe that's my problem.

Hello everyone,

I have the 60mm macro lens for several years, but unfortunately it’s now broken. The focus/distance indicator is permanently stuck at 1:2. Turning the focus ring has no effect at all.

When I mount the lens on a camera and switch the camera on, I hear a brief humming/buzzing sound coming from the lens. The camera then displays an error message. If I gently tap the lens, it also sounds as if something is loose inside, possibly a spring.

The lens is, of course, long out of warranty.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? Is it still worth having the lens professionally repaired, or is this something that can be repaired relatively easily yourself if you have some technical skills?

Thanks in advance for your help!

New OM 3 owner,

is there a way to quickly identify in the OI share app, which photos, are merged photos, stacked HDR, etc?. I purchased this camera to shoot jpeg and minimize any post work. I can identify them on the camera but once they are imported they are difficult for me to quickly identify as the intended shot.
