    Olympus club worth it?

    Thanks for the generous comments. Pro lens I already have the 12-40 and 40-150. Yet to date haven't find a good reason to get the ultra wide 7-14. Will shelf off the plan for now. Thank you.

    Mirrorless cameras

    I came out Nikon D90 before moving into Mirrorless. Went for a Olympus EPL6 but sold off quickly due to ergonomics not suitable and lack of buttons for quick access. Now own a Olympus EM1 with 12-40pro lens (equivalent to your 17-50). Reason for switching is due to size and weight. Now with...

    Olympus 45mm f1.8

    Lighter setup for portraits and if coupled with mcon-p01 can used for macros. 12-40 is still heavier.

    LAZADA Sale - Olympus 12-40

    Hi, Wondering anyone bought from this website for photographic equipment before? Their 12-40 F2.8 seems attractive, similar to Buy & Sell or just $100 more. Both are without warranty, used against export. Thanks for sharing!

    OMD EM1 in qoo10 so cheap???

    Me too, still deciding between em-5 II and EM-1. Saw Lazada selling 1.5K for E-M1 but with 14-150. Mostly importantly, saw lots of EPL-5/6 selling but no takers.

    Question on MCON-P02 Marco Converter

    Sorry Bro, do not have the sigma 60mm and 75mm lens to compare. 75mm are good for sports but maybe too long for portraits and streets. I bought combo with 17mm lens. 45mm is lightweight to use. Also 1.8 is better than 2.8 with background defocus.

    To give up m43?

    You can give a call to Cathay Photo, heard that they have credit installments. I didn't buy from them as most of the time their pricing is not the lowest

    Question on MCON-P02 Marco Converter

    HI, I tested with my 14-42 II lens and both WCON-P01 and MCON-P02 focus at 4cm. But the wide angle will have smaller coverage due to wide angle e.g. at 14mm will be around 11mm. If you need to fix it on all the time, then should be looking at the WCON-P01 if you do not mind the wide conversion...

    Question on MCON-P02 Marco Converter

    Hi, Can use as macro cause it can only focus at a certain near distance. I also had a WCON-P01 and it is not a great diff between the two. Thanks!

    Mirrorless setup

    Hi, I migrated from D90 to Olympus. I chose the lightest Olympus system EPL-6. Main reason is I want the lightest camera for travelling needs and frequent usage as having a DSLR only bringing out once a while. For landscape, the problem is the buttons are small. There is a new 7-14mm...

    lens advice

    Hi, in my opinion, 25mm 1.8 is a good lens for food. Currently am using the 17mm depending on how close you want. If it is not close enough, can make use of the 2X feature in your em5. 25mm is equivalent to 50mm full frame. Light for travelling as well. 17mm may take the whole plate if...

    EPL-6 + 12-40 2.8

    Thanks all for your informative comments. I already have a VF4 which I bought it to use it with my Samyang 7.5mm focusing, In that case, may consider em-1, but considering its size as well. I did google for EM-5 with grip and looks good, but will have to visit Olympus showroom to have a...

    Hi, Anyone with EPL-5/6/7 that is with 12-40 2.8. Thinking of getting this lens for travel. Alternatively, is it better to upgrade the body to EM-5/Em-5II with this lens with these advantages. 1) 5 axis stabilization instead of 3. 2) More buttons especially choosing f stop is much easier...

    EM-5 production has ended

    I'm tempted too.... Thinking of upgrading my EPL-6 to EM-5 but the 12-40 is a big lens to go with. Defeat the purpose of having a small cam. Recently, rented a EM-5 and compared with the same lens mounted managed to shoot with 1s with EM-5. The advantages are:- 1) Same size as EPL-6 2)...
