Thanks for your compliment! Guilty as charged, I am using Silkypix bundled with GF1 CD for some of my works I think some of the pictures are over-saturated tho (still need to improve on PP skills)

P/S: On the other hand, the $699 Olympus 9-18mm lens seems to be interesting - wondering how is it compare to the much more expensive (at least 4k?) Panasonic 7-14mm Wide Angle lens

There's a M43 version of 9-18 now (no adapter needed, only 155g)

Guess everyone attention is spent on the E-PL1, so this lens is probably overlooked

Welcome to the club!
Nice pics there, especially the first photo "Stairway to heaven"

New Noktor HyperPrime Lens 50mm f/0.95 for MicroFourThirds!
http://noktor.com/

Anyone thinks this is true? I'm being hopeful.. and if it's for real then I may consider getting this over 20mm pancake (depending on how the review goes)

Discussions in dpreview.com suggest that it's fake

Update:
43rumors seems to be suggesting it's "90% accurate" though. They got an email response from the "Company" (Noktor)

“Thanks for the message. The company is very real. There are a couple photographers with lenses now, so there will be a lot more images and footage along with the product launch next month. The info from google’s cache is incorrect. It was placeholder text while the site was developed. The main corrections are 480g weight and 23° Angle of View.
Goals? Develop and sell the fastest lens possible ”

This seems to be the recommended retail price

Expect at least RM300 cheaper in KL

GF1 with Pancake kit lens

OR

20mm Pancake lens itself?


If it's the camera+lens combo, u can get it almost everywhere now. If it's only the lens, I heard from shops and some LYN sellers that it's coming in March (not exactly sure which part of March though). I also can't wait to get that

Summary of the recent micro four thirds news/rumors from 43rumors

- G2 (G1 replacement) and G10 (lower-end model) to be announced by Panasonic in March
- Noktor to release the f/.95 50mm lens on 1st March
- Sigma is considering to manufacture micro-four-thirds lenses
- Olympus still committed to FourThirds (instead of earlier suggestion that M43 will totally replace their 43 products)

Hey if you know where to get the 20mm pancake let me know ya. I've been searching everywhere but no stock

Try to look for a 46mm front lens cap

The price usually ranges from 50-100... and I'm too sure if it's easy to find a Lumix one (it doesn't look nice to use a Nikon lens cap on a Lumix lens and body)


EDIT: try your luck in:
http://www.dealextreme.com/
http://focalprice.com/
u can get much cheaper price there if u found 1

The price

EP2 (with EVF) > GF1 > EP1

Guys: Where can I get 20mm pancake in KL/PJ area? I'm looking for cash and carry

Tried to ask for him, he said stock coming in March. At least better than some shops with their "don't know, don't ask" attitude

The X1 has a fixed focal lens attached to the body right?

20mm f1.7 seems to be something to compare with. GF1+20mm f1.7 is around 3.5k (or less?)

Competition is good...

That's a really shallow DoF hellfire

Btw... Stay tuned in noktor

They are going to make announcement on the f/0.95 m43 lens

Shot at ISO800

Not a bad price... it looks small but I guess I only know when it's mounted on a camera

More info here

EDIT: Available for pre-order now but I guess it would be stupid to pay that USD750 now without any review/users feedback
