I noticed in your flickr pages that you're using the four third's 50mm f2.0 macro lens on your e-p1. .

I heard the lens is very sharp wide open and suitable for portraiture work. How's the handling and the AF? Is the AF too slow? Total damage RM ??

I might be considering this...if i have money

Another cheap macro pic from my the kit lens

yes very sharp..50mm f2 i think around rm1800-rm2300 new..depend where u buy..

AF is slow style but is ok for macro n potrait work.

Hellfire has suggested to combine 43 and m43 thread... what you guys think?

will it be confusing if suddenly 43 people come in asking about 43 stuff like mirror lock and stuff like that
and m43 people will ?

i dont like that much...

Having fun @ PC Fair

Is there a 43 thread ... didn't notice

BTW ... I am letting go my Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm/F4.0-5.6 tele lens, bought 1 week ago (less than 40 shots)

Reasons:
1. Under utilized.
2. Too big and heavy to my liking.
3. Think will go for Lumix G 45-200mm.

PM me if you still interested.

I believe someone will grab it from you really soon Wuahaha =P

I think maintaining a dedicated m43 thread will be great, since they are pretty much different things - no mirror, different lens mount and user group etc.

Just my 2 cents

I vote for not merging the threads.

I'll vote for merging. Since the lenses can be shared between brands and between model (with adaptors if required).

It would be good if we can get a larger "member" pool to share knowledge & experiences.

i vote for not merging..the 2 system is pretty much different..so if merging, then will be very confusing if someone talk abt 43 while other reply m43..maintaining like now will be better as if u wan all info abt m43 can just look here while wan know more abt 43 can look into other..

just my two cent...

Just another E-PL1 review just in case anyone missed:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/olympus-e-pl1-review/

Anyways, let's talk about memory card. I'm using 8GB Toshiba's class 4 card and I'm thinking of getting an upgrade to that. What are my options?

haha, without clicking, I will expect its a good review... E-PL1 might be the best selling M43 for Olympus

Yup, correct.

I think E-PL1 is the best mix of features and simplicity. It takes better picture than my D40 and when my sister even produced better pictures than her friend's fully equipped D5000(with flash and everything).

People need to know that DSLR isn't the only option they have to take good pictures.

I went to Lowyat Plaza last Saturday. I see a few people grab E-PL1. LOL... very fast selling wei..

suggesting don't merge, as this m43 is not dslr.. but using 43 lens with m43 body still applicable here ...

Ya lor ... really hope got someone grab it from me, so I can get another lens.

BTW, I wan to sell the ED 70-300mm + MMF1 (include a 58mm slim UV filter) for Rm1650.

Serious buyer, anyone?

why so fast sell..dont be like me..buy sell then buy back again the 70-300

Brand new?
