My future travel plans only consist of the PEN, 17mm, 50 f/2 Macro and the FL-36R. I think it should cover the basis already... wink.gif

Love the E-P2 improvement compared to E-P1 not to mention the EVF... smile.gif
But I hate the new color, love the classic silver body on the E-P1. If Olympus release a silver body with black grip of the E-P2, I'm definitely sold... Hehehe. wink.gif

ae8za hi,

that's a handsome looking e-p1 u got there. I almost did mine but instead, sold it and upgraded myself to e-p2. Now only using pany 20mm f1.7 as prime. Cheers

Thanks bobds78,
I think the Panny 20 f/1.7 fits the E-P2 well being graphite black and all... smile.gif

@ ae8za

Saw your name in the list and you are using the Oly 17mm pancake lense.

How actually do you rate this lense? I want to see the difference of the performance compared to the 20mm lumix pancake.

Hopefully the difference is large enough to justify getting the 20mm over the 17mm.
*
Played around with the Panny 20 f/1.7 for the whole day months ago and I do love the image quality produced and the very wide aperture. Like samurai1337 mentioned, the lense beats my 17mm in 'almost' every angle... smile.gif
Major problem for the lense for me (this is my own opinion), I hate the 40mm equivalent focal for my use. I am alright with the 34mm the Ollie gave. Second is, it look HORRIBLE when combined with the E-P1 (doesn't match the vintage look of the PEN)... Last but not least, I hate it that the lense will stop at f/2.8 when using liveview function even when you open up at the widest aperture (it has this stupid clicking sound)... rclxub.gif
That's why I'm sticking with my 17mm Pancake for now, that is until Olympus came out with it's own 17mm f/1.7. Hope this helps... thumbup.gif

To faidz85:
Good choice, the E-P1 with the twin lense package is the best bang of the buck for Micro 4/3rd right now... smile.gif
But if you're on a tight budget, the EPL-1 is also a great choice but you'll lose the retro looks and the sturdiness of the E-P1/2 series without losing the functions... wink.gif
