The next Supermoon is just around the corner (October 17th), and it’s expected to be the biggest and brightest supermoon of 2024. If you want to capture it in all its glory, you need the right gear. OM SYSTEM’s Micro Four Thirds cameras and M.Zuiko Digital lenses are perfect for the job. Why? The 2x crop factor doubles your equivalent focal length—so, a 300mm lens becomes a 600mm! That means more zoom without the heavy, bulky gear.

So, if you’re gearing up for the Supermoon, OM SYSTEM has you covered. Check out their full line of cameras and lenses at explore.omsystem.com/petapixel, or visit your local authorized OM SYSTEM retailer.

When you've been in the camera industry for nearly 40 years and operated The Camera Store since the late 1990s, you see a lot. Peter Jeuene has done just that and also is the man who gave Chris and Jordan the opportunity to get on camera and become the experts you know today. Peter shares his thoughts on the state of the industry, how film's resurgence has affected his business, how he manages to compete with U.S. retailers and camera brands on the sales front, and even shares some stories from when Chris and Jordan used to work in his store.
