How good it is, I'm not sure though.

is that ori or 3rd party spare battery and how much u got for it?

if I were to buy BLS1 olympus.. I was quoted RM280

That's third party. It's around RM80 to RM90....

Some are cheaper. But the one I got is whooping 3200mAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can use for 2 days before charge.. (but no testing is done)...

But I can assure you that it is at least as long as the ori.

Wah, ori RM280 is a lot....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can tell where we can get it? Hehehehe...

i was there from 21/9 - 25/9. Koh Samui is nice place. Planning to go there again. hehe

Still learning using my E-P1. Didn't manage to take much pics, plus few days was cloudy there.

Hey, I like the lisa pic. Which lens you use? Did you have polarizer? Your blue sky seems nicer than mine.
Any setting you use? PASM?

Lisa pic, i was using kit lens @ 37mm, Aperture priority @ F5.3 1/800, ISO 1250

didn't use any polarizer for my Koh Samui trip. Honeymoon trip, cannot spend too much time on taking photos.

oh, haha... true also la. But I always use my 17mm pancake lens... kit lens I found it to be a bit heavy....

congratulations bro!!!!!!!!!!

me brought all my lenses, found that around 80% are using kit lens only.

40-150mm, 25mm, 17mm most of the time just sleeping in my bag

luckily am passion enough to wait for it.
not rumors thn when will it be coming out?

haha, I think because the kitlens is the most versatile (can zoom and can wide angle 28mm effective) in a very small package...

wow, you got adapter to 40-150? How much you pay for the adapter? did u bring E-P1 only? Do you have other camera besides
E-P1 (I mean, all camera you have, whether you brought to Koh Samui or not)...?

i have only E-P1, no other camera body.
yea, i got MMF-1 at RM450 for my 40-150mm and 25mm.

Previously are you using Olympus dSLR since you got 40-150mm and 25mm? Or you bought both after you got E-P1?

E-P1 is my first 'DSLR'.
40150 & 25mm i bought 2nd hand after i got my E-P1.

40-150 optic is superb for its price..and very small too

Since you're not using the 17mm that much, why not sell it to me?
So far I love using the 50 f/2 with the PEN. 17mm and 50mm should cover the low light prime range at least for me, kitlense being all rounder...
So Mr silverstan, interested???

i love that 17mm too. hehe
only i didn't use much during my honeymoon trip.

Good for you then..
At first I don't really like the 17mm as it being less sharp, distortion and CA problem compared to the 14-42mm but it does shave off some of the weight when paired with the PEN.
It also kinda look cool with the PEN and the Aki-Asahi leatherette. Not to mention the big (or not so big) aperture do come in handy at times...

I saw this in Singapore last week. Didn't take pic of it coz lazy. This week I took a pic of it. Is it available in KL yet? Damn nice looking camera.
