Xf 23mm f2. Small light good image quality and I like the focal length

Get an OM-5 and a 12-45mm. Enjoy your hikes!

I use manual focus for macro photography and film photography. On my X-T5, the focus peaking is really good, so it helps a ton for getting focus right w/ my macro lens. Also there are sometimes instances where autofocus struggles, like low light, or if there’s a fence in front of my subject (like at the zoo), so I switch to manual focus to force it to focus on what I want rather than what is closer.

On my OM-10, there’s just no choice but to manual focus lol. It works well enough.

Because they’re fun. Honestly this is the answer to so many questions lol. Why use a real camera when an iPhone is good enough? Because they’re fun. Why use film when digital is better? Because it’s fun. Why paint a fucking Picture when you can just photograph it? Because it’s fun.
