dante Posted April 23, 2014 Share #1  Posted April 23, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you were looking at the microphone set for the M typ 240, Amazon has 15 of them left for $55, with free shipping. The Olympus SEMA-1 is the same as the Leica 14634 - adapter, extension, clip and microphone - only here, it's 1/5 the price. My guess is that it has been discontinued.  Amazon.com: Olympus SEMA-1 Mic Adapter Set for Olympus Micro Four Third Digital Cameras, XZ-1 and XZ-2: Camera & Photo  Dante Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share #4 Â Posted April 25, 2014 When you get it, as I did today, you'll be disgusted at what Leica is charging for it. Still useful - but not exactly made of gold! Â Dante Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted April 25, 2014 Share #5 Â Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks for posting this, I ordered one of these as a backup to the one I have. Mainly because I don't want to lost the hotshoe adapter for my RODE microphone for those occasional times I'm shooting video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaques Posted April 26, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted April 26, 2014 Dang! I never thought of getting one of these... but now at this price I immediately found I did want one- no need one... But- I lost my credit card yesterday and just cancelled it... and I find you can't use paypal on amazon?... competitors it seems... Â and there are only two left! Ah- what to do? My new card won't be here for days. Even if I can find someone else tomorrow it is 1:40 am in Australia and I am sure by tomorrow the last two will be gone... Â If there is any kind-hearted forum member willing to take a punt- and snap one up for me- post it on- and let me send them the total payment instantaneously by paypal? I am 100% good for it. And will even pay a small stipend for my benefactor or find some interesting bit of sundry Leitz ephemera... M42 extension tube? M2 brochure? M3 case? what's your fancy? Â Please? anyone?

rondeb Posted August 4, 2014 Share #9 Â Posted August 4, 2014 Anyone have a tip or idea about why the sound recording is so noisy with this mic? I'm getting static and just tons of ambient noise. Recording in quiet room, so that's no issue Not static or noisy with built in mic. Â Thanks! Â Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rondeb Posted August 5, 2014 Share #10 Â Posted August 5, 2014 Perhaps I'm the only one using the external mic? I've listened more closely now and it is the left channel in particular giving the static. I haven't seen instructions that say to adjust any setting prior to using... Â Thanks for any insight.
