i try ask the seller quote me the price but no reply till now..oledi 2 days i think.. do you feel AF is slow in e-p1? cos i saw a lot of ppl comment abt this.. but compare to gf1, i still think e-p1 look nicer tongue.gif
*
Frankly, it is slow compare to Canon 40d that I use before. The AF performance is better or on par with the high end P&S. I think GF1 will
be faster. And I do agree E-P1 looks a lot nicer. GF1 look like normal P&S camera.

wat type of lens do you got? i saw ebay selling a lot of adapter for e-p1 so that it can use other lens like canon eos, nikon, leica etc etc.. if i wan take a group photos which require wide angle, zoom lens which require about 10x compare to normal digital camera and macro images, which type of lens will you recommend?
*
Here is some lens I have:

14-42mm -> kit lens
17mm -> pan cake lens
Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 this one must get adapter...


Wide angle --> kit lens is ok dy...
Zoom lens --> the only m43 lens is 50-200mm frm Panasonic. But you can follow our forumer silverstan buying 40-150mm with adapter to 43rd....

But my personal preference is 17mm la. Coz u know, I like small camera... and 17mm is the smallest package you can get with E-P1...

Hi guys...bought an E-P1 about a month ago. Didn't really have time to play around with it. Anyway, would anyone recommend what type of lens that would fit on it?
I hear there's an adapter that has to be purchased to be able to use other lenses...how much would that cost?
thanks smile.gif
*
Adapter is around RM300-RM500. Got original from Olympus for M43-->43 adapter and M43 --> OM adapter.
But a lot of people buy third party adapter for RM300 and below from ebay to use with Canon FD lens..etc (manual lens).

The 50 is nice to use, just it needs some cleaning.
Anyone has that number of that camera shop in Amcorp Mall that cleans lens?

Great new collection. I've also got a Canon FD f/1.4...

Can you tell me where you buy the adapter? Right now, I dun have adapter to be used with the lens? Now the lens
is collecting dust...

As all things in life, try eBay

use Micro Four Thirds as a keyword search and watch as the torrent of adapters are revealed

Which one you bought? I already try ebay last time but all need to buy from overseas. I prefer to get
from local shop. At first I want to get from jinfinance. But later, I saw some cheaper one. I see that
the cheaper don't have aperture ring on the adapter itself compare to jinfinance one. So from which
seller you bought it from?
