Hi guys...bought an E-P1 about a month ago. Didn't really have time to play around with it. Anyway, would anyone recommend what type of lens that would fit on it?
I hear there's an adapter that has to be purchased to be able to use other lenses...how much would that cost?
thanks

Adapter is around RM300-RM500. Got original from Olympus for M43-->43 adapter and M43 --> OM adapter.
But a lot of people buy third party adapter for RM300 and below from ebay to use with Canon FD lens..etc (manual lens).

actually what type of lens is cheaper? i am also thinking to get adapter..so which type of adapter i should get ? then i can buy other lens..

canon fd is quite cheap. Depend on u la. Everyone have their own preference. With fourthird adapter, u can buy four third lens....and can AF lor...

lelong sell e-p1 with twin lens kit for rm 3799..not incl postage..p&p around rm18... wow..tats mean i need to pay extra rm800+ compare to rm2999.. i think i will just get the single lens kits first then get the pancake again ..i heard the pancake sell at rm1000 and with a Viewfinder.. is that true?

twin lens is supposed to be RM3300... dun buy higher than that...

Pancake should be around that price.... or like me, I got second hand for RM650 with viewfinder...

is the shop in ur place selling twin lens for rm3300?? or only buy from forumers here then can get that price??
you are so lucky to get the 2nd hand rm650 only!!

My shop in Penang sell RM3300. Already ask 2 shop. They sell RM3300. Some forumer also have that price. So its a standard price.

Yalor, I think I'm lucky to get the 2nd hand 17mm for RM650...lucky...

Else, get twin lens.. more worth lor I Think...

hmmm..if like this i think i really need to wait till i go kl on dec then buy there.. if compare rm2999 single lens, i only need to add 300 then can get extra lens..
did you get any bag or case for ur camera?

Eh, the two shop I mention located in Penang.

Until now, I still dunno what bag to buy.... I still using my belt pouch lol... no protection at all....

Single lens in Penang is RM2600...

Same lowest price everywhere...
Sigh, can't seem to find the 17mm Pancake everywhere even if I'm willing to pay RM750-800 with the viewfinder.
A shop actually offers me RM1000 new without the viewfinder... DUH!

wow...i heard rm1000 incl viewfinder?? but i more interest with the flash

i saw ebay and olympus msia website got leather case for 17mm..but kinda expensive..rm400++.. if half body case also need till rm300+.. now i am looking for FD adapter and EOS adapter.. seems like their lens is not that expensive compare with four third lens..also quite lots of zoom lens.. .

yeah, I think so. Whoever sell higher really dunno the market price...

Wah...17mm without viewfinder is RM1k... too expensive... better buy Panasonic 20mm f/1.7...lol

I guess I'm really lucky lor

wat flash u interested?

lens of course come with cap la...

yaya... alot of fd cheap lens.... also looking for fd adapter...

casing is too expensive la...waiting for pirated version....

i also duno..maybe the FL-14? something like this? but the price is quite expensive.. maybe find something compatible.

FL-14 is ok lor... but cannot tilt/swiwel, and not powerful... I'm thinking FL-20 better...coz more powerful...

else, get Metz-48..haha

hmm..fl20 how much?? not bad also..not that big compare to other..later look so ugly

i dunno how much. Something like RM300 also...u have to go around and check for price....
pls update here also after u find out ya...haha... yeah, other look ugly.. but powerful wor...

wow so cheap? i saw FL14 sell at rm700+ ...but wan to ask few more shop again..
i just afraid i cannot tahan so many months then directly get rm2999 single lens kits now!

hahah, wait until 31 October because Olympus will come out with new camera..maybe better than
E-P1.... FL14 is RM500 la. I think all shop you go try to cheat you.
