everyday been poisoned by 20mm 1.7 panny...I am starving..

ooh ya, pany 20mm on ep2 look so handsome, really well matched. last nite, just got the new f/w for ep2 & pany 20mm. The auto focusing is noticeably much faster and snappy. Tried a number of shots just under fluorescent light & its much faster than before. maybe the new f/w has done some magic to both the cam & lens.

another macro shoot

u will notice that the jpeg output is sharper and the auto WB improve a lot. it is very accurate now..
try focusing in low light it improve also

True, I noticed that the auto focusing is much faster but havn't checked on the jpeg output and auto WB yet. Maybe I 'll do that tonite. Steve Huff (www.stevehuffphotos.com) has done a good 'real world' review of epL1 and he also found that the o.o.cam jpeg from epL1 (IQ) has surprised him so much that he believed that it's perhaps the best jpeg cam out there right now! Woohoo! Now ep2 also has the same IQ.

Am totally impressed by what Hoya Pro CPL filter is capable of doing. I will check out in DCIM 2010 to see if I can get any good offer

p/s: planning to get one for my 14-45mm kit lens

I feel my image aren't sharp enuf....



kit lens limitation?Setting problem?(i-Enhanced, WB=Auto)?User problem?

which camera you use..mind posting the EXIF
the noise filter setting?
noise reduction?
IS is on or off and what mode u using.
you got put any cap ayam filter in front or not,..

Exif=Raw file?
Camera =EP-L1
NR= Auto
IS=IS1
Cap filter = Stenzeiser

EXIF is information on your jpeg or RAW. the info contain stuff like shutter speed, aperture, iso..usually u right click the jpeg and select property you can see some detail..

NR= auto is fine but what about noise filter setting?

IS= seem fine

Cap filter = KO... <- this is the most cap ayam filter......remove the filter and you will see better results..

thanks bro.
wat UV filter u recommend?

UV the decent one would be HOYA but hard to get the size ...

noise filter u should set it to LOW.. iso dont use over iso 1600 if possible..

seriously the sone nex look so ugly..

the pros i can think of is:-

1. slighly better noise performance at iso800 and above
2. metal kit lens
3. metal body
4. cheap price

the cons are:-

1. cannot put larger flash..and use propriety port...so cannot mount their bigger dslr flash. no flash hotshoe..
2. cannot AF when mount with existing sony lens even with an adapter
3. is the only camera where the lens bigger than the body. i am talking about E mount lens. not proportional and i doubt the weight distribution is even with lens mounted on it.
4. no build in body IS.
5. panorama mode got lot of artifacts according to cnet review
6. Across most of the frame (especially the corners of course), softness and chromatic aberration are appalling (based on imaging resource sample image)
7. no control dial to switch setting fast.. like change shutter speed or aperture
8. ugly
9. i dont see any slot for electronic viewfinder..
10. no build in camera raw editing like ep1 ep2 and epl1

was looking forward to jump ship to sony mirrorless..really dissapointing...
fail big time..hoping canon n nikon can do a better job with their upcoming mirrorless camera..

Guys,

can we mount M42 lens tou e-PL1 without adapter? sorry for the stupid question!

Just to add

Pros:
- Good high ISO handling (on par with PEN)
- APS-C sensor
- High resolution screen

Cons:
- BIG zoom lens
- Not really useful tiltable screen

u need an adapter..get from SG i heard cheaper..or ebay

Google "M42 to Micro 4/3 adapter" and you should see a lot of results OR try ebay. Good luck!

I got some good news back from my supplier they're currently doing GF1+20MM Pancake lens bundle @ RM2999.

I'll try to push down the price if we can 3buyer at once

I beg to differ.... if I were to choose, I might choose Sony. The high ISO is really great. And the
pancake wideangle is awesome size:


I created a thread in DPReview and it created a lot of noise, lol..

high iso vs 10 other cons? no way man...
