when i try to find adapter, i found out the description as below:

"The adapter is brand new , manufactured with brass copper and  anodized with chromium, built like a tank! ensure silky smooth operation of your lens and camera.
Don't buy those aluminum adapters , they are poor quality! low precision! aluminum is so soft, not durable, when time pass by, your adapter will lose precision soon, you can not get sharp pictures!  "

too bad cant find any come with aperture ring yet.. sad.gif

"It has the aperture control ring to open and close down aperture."

I am keen on getting a GF1. I am in the US and it costs at least US$899.99.

Go ahead. A lot of good review with GF1. Its the best and smallest. The AF performance almost same like dSLR... good luck in getting
it though. I see people having problem getting it with 20mm f/1.7 lens... (don't get the other kit lens...its not as good as 20mm f/1.7)

I personally don't think its that bad to get aluminium..haha...

I'm not sure if you now or not. This jinfinance alumium adapter is the most famous third party adapter. If its bad, I don't think
people will buy it la... icon_idea.gif

later cannot focus infinity...or something not right, u cry la... tongue.gif


Added on October 18, 2009, 11:46 pmAlso it is stupid to buy copper one. You know why? Because if you buy copper one, and you give a strong twist, instead of breaking the adapter, you might break the lens or body.... do u want to break lens or body? U tell me la....

I rather break the adapter la...hahaha....

Not really. Its like normal kit lens. Nothing special. You can get it lar if you want. Just that 20mm is something
very special....

Btw guys, would like to know bout grace period, wat my frenz told me is, olympus wont launch EP-2 tat fast cause EP-1 havent old enough yet.

How u guys think?

I think E-P2 is imminent. GF1 is taking too much sales away from Olympus. So I'm 100% sure E-P2 will be here on 31 October...2009...

http://43rumors.com/ft3-next-olympus-mft-specs-via-zone-10/

little more about the next Olympus MFT:

“1. Model name may not necessarily be the E-P2. The “Pen Footprint” may be for a specific model, but the m43 standard is for a sensor-chamber and lens-mount design and does not dictate the shape of the rest of the camera. Expect this camera to have increased thickness and height as compared to the E-P1 due to the built-in EVF and not quite so rectangular-shaped. A little more “muscular” looking with some characteristics not making it as cute as the E-P1.

2. This camera will have an articulating LCD monitor similar to that found on the E-620, but with higher resolution.

3. There will be a built-in EVF with diopter adjustment on the viewfinder optics. Resolution of this EVF is not known at this time, but may be SVGA in resolution.

4. In step with the constant evolution of processors, this camera will be equipped with the TruePic V+ processing engine that is similar to the TruePic V, but with support for additional video aspects and additional Creative Art filters.

5. Battery is shared with the E-P1 and it is likely going to have a CF card slot in addition to SD. This spec may change, but the target audience for this camera is still heavily invested in CF.

6. Expect a new lens, possibly a “Wide-Standard” prime lens to be introduced with this model with better specifications. Wide-Standards are typically those within the 35-42mm (FF35mm Equivalent) range. As the camera itself is larger than the E-P1, the lens may also be a little larger too, which will result in better optics.

7. Auto-focus is improved with faster performance and better low-light capability.

8. I.S. will have improvements as well as a new feature not previously seen in Olympus bodies.”

Hi all,
I used to own a Nikon D40x as my first DSLR, I sold it off after close to half-year of owning it. Reason being i like to take photograph but taking a DSLR is a bit of a burden to me while I'm traveling.

Since with the MFT options, I'm thinking of getting one with the normal 3x zoom lense and a pancake. Between E-P1/GF-1, there's some question I'd like to clarify as per below:

1. Does any one of the MFT offers selectable min/max ISO in their programmed auto mode? I particularly like this feature in my Nikon as it allow me to select the max ISO that's acceptable to me and the program will use the suitable shutter speed & aperture.
2. Is there any good flash specifically made for either one of the MFT? I've seen Olympus FL36R mounted on the E-P1 & i thought that looks out of place, sorry no offence
3. What's the running market price for Olympus/Panasonic with both normal zoom lense & a pancake?

Thanks for all the suggestions/opinions in the 1st place.
*
You've come to the right place. I'm sure you'll be happy to use E-P1/GF1 because the size is really small to bring anywhere. I also
sold my Canon 40D due to size problem that I can't bring it anywhere. I rediscover my photography hobby with E-P1.

I've heard GF1 does not have that selectable max auto ISO. But this is just software thing. I believe they'll do it using firmware
update. As for E-P1, it has this feature. You can set the HIGH LIMIT frm 200 to 6400.... in 1/3eV increment

Compare to previous fake rumours, this real E-P1 spec is not really big upgrade
from E-P1....

Let's see:

12 Megapixel - E-P1 got
3fps - not really useful if E-P2 AF still slow
stereo sound - E-P1 got
AF tracking - How affective? Not really used all the time also.
1.44 million dot electronic viewfinder with 100% field of view - ok, some people who keep on asking for EVF will get their wish
8 Art Filters (two more than the E-P1 ….. Diorama Filter and Cross Process) - can this upgraded with firmware for E-P1?
i-Enhance function (color boost) - can this be upgrade also... also, both this feature is software based... can do it with PC...
230K LCD - E-P1 got
X1/180 - not sure...

So what big upgrade? I don't see any big upgrade also...

I'll think big upgrade will be very very fast AF and higher resolution LCD, AF assist, internal flash...

But unfortunately, E-P2 biggest upgrade is EVF and 3fps... tongue.gif
