M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 Lens Hood

The Olympus OM-D E-M5, upon its release a year and a half ago, was a groundbreaking camera. It was the first to use Olympus’ renowned 5-axis stabilisation, reducing the need for higher ISO levels in dark shooting conditions. It also has one of the fastest autofocus and continuous shooting mechanisms on a mirrorless camera. Finally, it was also one of the first modern digital cameras to feature a functional yet stylish retro look, making it desirable not only for its advanced technology but for its aesthetic appeal as well.

While it is the perfect photographic companion on its own, there are a handful of accessories which may make your shooting experience even better with the E-M5. Below I have listed a series of useful OM-D E-M5 accessories that were either suggested to us by other E-M5 users, or that we use ourselves.
