Click the 2nd link and then try enter your serial number bla bla bla ...

Possible, if they are to send the lens to Japan to repair, just like those PC motherboards are sent back to Taiwan to repair. But may take weeks to months for repair.

Even if they were to send to Bintang Maju to repair, certified or not they still will get it fixed right? LOL

Why not you send an email to Panasonic Japan to ask about this, I remember somebody did this before and got their warranty honored.

Yeah is good if you can help clarify this for us, thanks

My 20mm 1 year up no warranty already, but my GF1 + 14-45mm kit still got till Nov 2012.

Waa ... what lens is that ?

Care to explain the reason why ?

Ya I understand the ISO part, lower to reduce unnecessary noise ... but I didn't know about the IS will move if using on tripod haha.

Guess I didn't notice about that due to I always using GF1 + 20mm, both no IS.

Thanks for explanation.

So conclusion is forget about 14mm and get the 20mm F1.7

Even with a bright lens such F1.4, I still can see a lot of noise in the pictures in low light. Some are acceptable but others have to PP it out using Lightroom or Photoshop
M43 system definitely has lots of noises compared to DSLRs ... depending how much you can accept it lor.
If you are always shooting in low light, maybe m43 is not suitable for you. Just my 2 cents.

No silver and no 14-140mm

I'm waiting for Olympus new pro body m43 or E-P3.

Not exactly, but I'm m43 lover that's for sure.

Just kinda disappointed with Pana's features, pricing and late shipping issues.

Looks like there are no major reasons for me to upgrade my 1yr++ old GF1 ... yet

A m43 body size of GF1 with built-in EVF, IS, fast auto focus like GF1, add some art filters, GH2 sensor, forget touch/tilt screen, oh ya better battery please.

I'm pretty sure Pana or Oly can make one ... just one is focused on 3D/video, another is focused on entry level.

Indoor photo means low light you want as large aperture as possible ie. F1.7, for shutter speed u need around 1/60 to prevent a handshake blur as there is no IS in the 20mm.

First learn the exposure triangle, depth of field, white balance, your camera's functions and then just keep practice There are plenty of websites to Google.

No need spent extra money for that, just use a box or cabinet to store your gears and place a few packs of silica gels in it will do. Or buy those de-humidifier to help u keep the storage place dry.

I got this around Rm56++ for GF1+20mm, vintage look well protects my camera. But took 2 weeks to ship from HK and it can't change to a half case
http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

May I know how much is this? Can you operate the camera with the case on? Couldn't find tat last time

Yeah I do keep 2~3 small ones in my camera bag, very useful, I also take them out once a while and blow it with hair drier, to keep it dry.

It's pretty good quality, hard material. I got a Kata sling bag big enough for 2 lenses and other accessories .. but I feel it defeats the purpose of m43 system, as it's almost like carrying a DSLR.

I think all UV filter will have the flare issue, unless it has Multi-Coated (MC) perhaps? I'm not sure about that actually.

But to remove flare, better use a lens hood. But the 20mm F1.7 can use either one at a time

You got this too: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4-5.6 OIS

Agreed ! Kinda disappointed with the looks ... G2 looks much better

Just check the the scene comparison for G3, 600D and GH2. G3 looks close to 600D, slightly better than GH2 wo.

I might upgrade to G3 instead, screw the ugliness haha.

You are saying GF1 has high 2nd hand value?
