Well, it just so happens that the custom camera bag made for the Sony RX1R II, also fits the Olympus PEN-F I have in to demo! So, took it with us during a ride on the Centennial Trail in Snohomish County, Washington. Stopped periodically, when the light was good, to take a few frames.

They’re shared here, and on Instagram.

A premium compact camera on the trail is one of the reasons we started shooting with mirrorless, to reduce the amount of gear we carry.

The PEN-F is another excellent choice in compacts too with excellent lenses. And, like the Sony, it fits on a set of handlebars.

The image quality?

See for yourself, and I’ll review the PEN-F in a few weeks at Olympus Mirrorless Pro. It arrived too late for Issue 36 and its photography theme, but there are plenty of rides to photograph this summer. What I can also share now is the PEN-F has a 50-year history.
