how much did you bought ur leather case?? issit from local shop???

Good luck with that...
Took me almost two month to find a new one with VF, that is only because the Taukeh agreed to pull it out of a dual lense PEN package...
You should try asking shops around, who knows lady luck may be on your side like me...

Not yet come out bro... wait la....

when i try to find adapter, i found out the description as below:

"The adapter is brand new , manufactured with brass copper and anodized with chromium, built like a tank! ensure silky smooth operation of your lens and camera.
Don't buy those aluminum adapters , they are poor quality! low precision! aluminum is so soft, not durable, when time pass by, your adapter will lose precision soon, you can not get sharp pictures! "

too bad cant find any come with aperture ring yet..

I am keen on getting a GF1. I am in the US and it costs at least US$899.99.

This come with aperture ring... you read the link...it said:
Go ahead. A lot of good review with GF1. Its the best and smallest. The AF performance almost same like dSLR... good luck in getting
it though. I see people having problem getting it with 20mm f/1.7 lens... (don't get the other kit lens...its not as good as 20mm f/1.7)

this adapter is made of aluminium.. i mean the copper like he mentioned which is stronger and lasting than aluminium
cannot deny GF1 is nice..but lack of in body stabilization which i think is important for me to use any other lens which does not have lens-based stabilization. so i will still stick with olympus!
i found that this web is kinda informative which comparing both camera and can be reference.

I personally don't think its that bad to get aluminium..haha...

I'm not sure if you now or not. This jinfinance alumium adapter is the most famous third party adapter. If its bad, I don't think
people will buy it la...

but jinfinance price is very expensive.. below is the one i found which is cheaper and got the aperature ring also

because famous already mah...so you cannot compare la... people have confidence with jinfinance... u go buy cheap one,
later cannot focus infinity...or something not right, u cry la...

I rather break the adapter la...hahaha....

hahaha..true also..buy cheap cheap one then can get few more spare in future.. so are u getting from jinfinance?

i dunno wor... still thinking... if u want, u get it first lor... then do some review here...haha

You mean the Lumix G Vario 14 - 45 mm F3.5 - F5.6 is no good at all? I was hoping to get wide angle zoom.

cannot le..even i buy first i also dun have camera to test..have to wait till i get camera first lor... unless u borrow me yours to me to do some review...hahaha

Not really. Its like normal kit lens. Nothing special. You can get it lar if you want. Just that 20mm is something
very special....

Then u faster buy lor...hehe

what so special abt 20mm??
i cant buy here lor..my place only got single kit lens.. and the price is rm2900 the cheapest i asked.. i will wait till end of the month see if any good news or not also

EP-2 come, faster launch plz.

Btw guys, would like to know bout grace period, wat my frenz told me is, olympus wont launch EP-2 tat fast cause EP-1 havent old enough yet.

How u guys think?
