Thanks I did read Robin Wong's review. I'm not interested in the Leica branding. And in fact I would prefer to get the Olympus for the obvious reasons. But this review showed to my eyes at least that contrast is better on the Panasonic. It looks more punchy like the image was taken on a larger...

No need for that. If you didn't notice a signficant difference then that's enough for me. I'm leaning more toward the Oly now. Thanks for your input! Btw, why did you sell off your Panny 25?

Is that based on the f1.4 or AF speed in low light? Ok no polls then hehe :bsmilie: I have an older body the EP3. My main focus is on faster AF so i thought i'd upgrade the lens first before the body. I've been told this will have the most impact & bang for the buck. I'm guessing the...

I am looking to replace my beloved but slow (AF) Panasonic 20 f1.7 with a 25mm lens from the two currently available choices. After reading many reviews on both I am even more torn between the two. Olympus 25mm is smaller & cheaper. Panasonic 25mm is f1.4 and more micro contrast (similar to 20...

i was dead set on the 25mm f1.8 but now I'm confused!

Yes i think a bit of anticipation is in order :) I see what you are getting at now. Never thought about it till now. You are absolutely right. I've been blinded by the quest for fast AF i forgot about that! Ironically, on my full frame camera I am aware of it and bump up the shutter...

Thanks trelch, but my problem now is AF speed, not shutter speed. Although the 12mm I hear has fast AF. Definitely going to change lens first. Wow, EP1! In that case I feel less of a hurry to upgrade my body :) Btw, do you have the Oly 17 f1.8 or 25 f1.8? Is the EP1 capable of taking...

Thanks. Looks like I will upgrade the lens first then. Also, its not as big a hit on the wallet as getting the a new body.:thumbsup: Now the question is - which focal length :) I prefer 50mm on my full frame camera but at the same time its mainly used at home for headshots. I might need to...

I love the above combination cos it gives me superb sharpness and subject isolation. However I do not love the SLOW autofocus on my fast moving children. Should I upgrade my camera and get the new OMD E-M10? I believe the AF is faster than the EP3? Or should I upgrade the lens only and get the...

Thanks for the heads up :) This deal looks like the next best thing. LR5 for US$30 off. $119 now.

Could THIS be for real? It's so tempting but at the same time the name of the website looks a bit odd. Somebody tell me its for real...

I am going to use it with the iPhone 5 which this review on amazon seems like not a good idea.:cry:

Looking forward to it!

That is a great heads up! Thank you :)

Yes it is photography related - as what kei1309 has pointed out I am trying to dual purpose to reduce weight while travelling with my flashes. However it is my fault for not being more descriptive. Anyway mostly photo enthusiasts/pros in the Kopitiam so hopefully still get some heads up :)
