photo shop lor..haha... normally need to book from them one.. no ready stock,...

or u can search in the LYN garage sale..

Nope not really ... I search a lot of shops can say almost dominated by Canon and Nikon stuff (no offense haha), just so little for Panasonic. doh.gif
Even if they got Panasonic stuff, it's quite expensive. So far I found on Shashinki and some of the guys at the LYN garage sale. sweat.gif
Actually wait for this guy iamsobloodysick's reply, the Panasonic seller in LYN garage, hope he bring me good news tongue.gif

Even their order list is still in pending. Their system is a bit sucky. doh.gif

BTW guys, just quoted from iamsobloodysick:

View Finder for GF1 - RM600
20mm F/1.7 lens - RM1380
45-200mm f/4-5.6 - RM1380

Hohoho ... time to save money for Xmas present. rolleyes.gif

I just got my Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 + FD adapter to m43 lens and here is the test shot:

Nice bro ... how much did you get for the lens and adapter together, where you get the adapter ah? Using the adapter no auto focus already right? unsure.gif

Can please share your review on using the adapter thanks. Just want to know if using other brand lens with adapter is more cost effective than using m43 or 43 lenses. notworthy.gif

Adapter I bought from http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-FD-adapter-Olymp...=item25557ed6f0

But I bought the single one from him. You check his other sales. He said made from brass instead of alu.

My review is that its great. I can change the aperture no problem from f/1.4 to max. great built. No issue.

The lens is RM250 only....

Total cost: RM550.

No AF of course. Its cost effective if you can get lens at cheap price with such a big aperture.

Huh? Canon 50mm F1.4 just Rm250? So cheap meh? sweat.gif

the link u paste got problem le..cannot find that page..

i noticed that blue colour and yellow colour look nicer in olympus ..but red colour look nicer in panasonic.. just panasonic produce the pic look a bit dark in overall eventhough after u pp it...the olympus will give much more the exciting overall colour tone also....

I think wat modben want show is this, GF1 might not look as bright/colorful like EP1 but if know how to adjust the WB then can get a nice color, just my 2 cents:

wow...FL36R tongue.gif but flash not often use for me lor..i rather spent money on the lens first since it got built-in flash oledi..  rclxms.gif

FYI, the 14-45mm zoom kit lens blocks the flash light when taking close range. Have shadow in picture if lens is long and taking really close picture. sweat.gif

IMHO, in future should invest on an external adjustable flash (and with a diffuser). icon_idea.gif

Nah ... still got a little bit even without the hood. icon_idea.gif But I think is not so significant la ... but having an external still is better. brows.gif

I'm saving money to get either the 20mm pancake or 45-200m zoom lens sweat.gif

Dunno which one I shall get first ... both cost the same, but the usage is so different. doh.gif

Can also refer to this, compatibilities of DMC-GF1, DMC-GH1 and DMC-G1, including all micro four thirds lens and four thirds lens, adapters and ext flash, etc. icon_idea.gif

true..actually both got their usage..one for night shooting..one of landscape shooting.. but i will choose 70-300mm..although size might be a bit bigger compare to it, but the price is a bit cheaper and can zoom till 300mm.. tongue.gif

That is Oly Zuiko 70-300mm lens right? It's a standard four thirds lens wor ... so need to buy a four thirds mount adapter (Rm5xx). sweat.gif

yeah..and the price for the lens is about rm1400+.. the adapter cost about rm480 the cheapest i heard and can be used with other four thirds lens also wor.. i am interest with 9-18mm lens too.. kinda useful for landscape and street photo..  rclxms.gif

True if you get the adapter you'll have more lens available to choose from but not all will support AF. BTW, what camera u using? EP-1/2 or GF1? Oly's 43 adapter is cheaper than Panny's. I wonder are they (Oly's and Panny's) compatible to each other? hmm.gif

Gosh...is it really that bad?

How many shots u manage to take before draining it? If GF-1 battery is not as good as advertised, then it's really something that blocks me from buying it
*
Seriously I think one extra battery is not enough coz of the LCD live view. I managed to get around 300++ shots, with occasionally flash shots, not sure is it as good as advertised? wink.gif

bro wuahaha, 300+ shots from full till empty? just wan to know you set your lcd sleep how long and do you keep turning it on and off?

i think mine might be slightly better then yours but i never shot so much. 1 shoot 5 vids totaling to 20+ mins and around 120 shots in raw with some flashes here and there still full.
*
I do set the LCD to off when idle ... and sometimes when I don't shoot pictures I'm playing around the settings and review also. Actually 300++ just my rough estimate as I've not use from full till empty in one day. sweat.gif

You must be a very heavy photographer then tongue.gif According to the spec it's 380 shots based on CIPA standard (which for your case is normal)

Maybe getting yourself EVF helps in some way though.

Nah .. I'm still new lah .. just learning and playing around hehehe (tat's why no nice pics to post) sweat.gif .. btw .. I read some review said that the EVF is not so good, low resolution, slightly cropped, color not so accurate and can't use if got ext flash ... the pros are can hide the face while taking the picture (looks more pro hehe) and to reduce battery life and maybe hold steadier since supported by the face ... just kidding tongue.gif
