E-500 with 14-54?

[iguoh]

Just curious if anyone with the E-500 upgraded to the 14-54. What do you do with the kit lens? Is it at all possible to sell it since everyone has the kit lens?

Difficult to sell the kit lens here in Singapore. May have to sell overseas where the 2nd hand market is larger.

I am hoping for an upgrade too. :bsmilie:

Well... it's lying there in the dry cabinet since the day i got my 14-54. I don't know what to do with it but, to treat it as my "back-up" lens just in case something happened... Don't think anyone can sell it...

ya lor.......sigh... use it as a paper weight

Quite an expansive paper weight
wonder if it is worth any $$$ when sell to cash converters .. lolx

For me, i'd just keep it as a spare. Who knows one day, it may come handy as a perishable for fishing trips or dangerous cities.

If 14~45mm lens is worthless then how abt 17~45mm lens then

i think the 14~45 is NOT worthless. just happens to be the kit lens that everyone has, therefore, hard to sell.

My follow up question is: for those who "upgraded" to the 14-54, did you get it locally in Singapore or online?

 

[raymond10]

I got it locally. Paid 850 for it. Painful but now happy. Didn't regret it a single bit.

[SkyWalker]

Me too.

[doubliewkay]

I exchanged my 50mm f/2.0 for the 14-54mm in Clubsnap.
Never regret it at all.

The 14-54mm is really superb. Then again, there will be the 14-35mm, which may be even more superb....Buy, BUY, B-U-Y! :bsmilie:
