u cant put any filters on pancake lens

Says who?

ohh,remembered wrongly.that was wide angle lens lol

Well, you will have to get a very slim one if you intend to minimize vignetting.

So I shd get the CPL filter for my pancake? Filter got different thickness? Hoya slim enuff?

You have to take note that CPL filters will cut some amount of light to your camera so you should only attach it when you really need to use it.

cheap close up filter make your image like a point and shoot image quality...very lousy...get a proper macro lens...like the zuiko 35mm macro lens...i think 2nd hand can get for rm600 below

Thanks for sharing hellfire...

Haha, I guess there's no real secret, you either need lots of ambient light or very stable hand

Btw... I notice I haven't touched my GF1 for some time so grabbed it and snapped some random pic

I don't have 35mm, mine is 25mm. By right, 35mm should be sharper with lesser distortion, especially vignetting.
For me, I hv to depends very much on EVF. Sometime need to magnify to achieve sharper focus. 25mm is able to shoot under low light. The LCD/EVF will appear brighter with this lens and this help in focusing.

I only tested the 25mm twice where I set it to Aperture Priority and just shoot (there is an aperture ring but I always set it to wide open for night shot. Have not tried on daytime though).

owh!!where u guys got your tv lens???anyway to get it in m'sia besides ebay??

i wanna know too. need special adapter rite?

I won't recommend myself to put a metal hood on the pancake, since I favour portability above others. So I'm using a UV filter myself, HOYA. For a pancake, you can easily use your hand to cover stray lights entering the lens.

Finally i get an adaptor to use the Canon lens in my EPL1.
See my Canon 50mm F1.8 with adaptor.


Below are the first photo I took with 50mm in EPL1.
Manual focus is not as hard as i think.
