What option filters can i have for my EP1 Camera lens , its a 17mm pancake lense by Zuiko. I read how good polarizing filter is but same time I need to protect the lense from dust. So should i get UV lense or polarizing filter will do the protection . anyone from lowyat sell these accessories online. thanks.

just get CPL... but get a good one...

hi gogo,

what is CPL. I just found out that olympus UV cost RM 170 but the glass is like no glass at all when view on a magazine compare to china made one.

Circular Polariser.

rm170 for olympus uv filter?might as well as get hoya with that price

Its either you get a really good filter or you don't get any.

I agreed. Tested a Rm30 no brand UV filter, while you are shoot toward lights you can see a lot of reflection.

I believe Olympus CPL will be sky price.

yeah, i was told polarizer is meant for outdoor only.
the friend of mine advise not to get as olympus EP1 lens is just a small lens and unlike those other slr lenses which indeed big . moreover , hardly will get scratch since own self is using it . so he ask me don't waste money on UV . use it for something else.

even it is small lens doesn't mean 0% chances will get scratch also.

I love A mode!!!

I like i-Auto mode

Advice needed here.
I will be buying an Olympus E-PL1. So far the best price I can get is :

EPL1 body+ 14-42mm kit len and the usual stuff comes with the box (battery, cable, cable, charger and etc)

Free: 1 extra original battery, 1 camera bag (ori)+ 1 x4G SD card (Class 4) for RM2099

Is this the best deal?

Also thinking of getting the while body camera. Is it advisable? Would it be difficult to clean when it gets dirty?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

i got white E-P1, not E-PL1... so far its not dirty yet =.=||

good price there....eventhough i did not watch the price too often, but the price really drop a lot

i would say both... although there's dirt, I can wipe off easily too....

But its easily to see dirt on white stuff...

if U want to be lazy (don't want to wipe), and it still look new, black color is easier to take care.

I just got one white set with the exact same price, RM2099 but mine was 8GB SDHC

Need some suggestion on ND filters.
My EPL1 max shutter is 1/2000 and my portrait lens a Canon FD 50mm f1.2 L. Situation is in bright noon sunlight or at the beach and i want max bokeh/OOF for my shots at f 1.2.

Which ND filter would you think works best?

i got my EP-1 for RM 1,999
Package include 17mm lense, 1 Flashlight, 8GB, 1 small National Geographic leather bag + RM 20 for LCD protector. Tell me if it's a good deal or not? Item was sold as Stock Clearance.

Anyone knows about the best deal out there for Oly Ep-2? w/ or w/o EVF is fine for me. Preferable with 14-42 zoom lens

Is there an adaptor to use Nikon F-mount lens without aperture ring (newer G lens) on m4/3?
