agreed with mcgyver, unless your budget was really tight, then u can just get the body IMHO.

xandman woukld never have issue with budget looking at his bike gear..

i would recommend the kit lens as well..it give u a full weather seal setup..which is the main reason ppl get om-d....else a lot of ppl would have waited to the the pen ep3 or ep5 end of this year

hahahahah hellfire8888, i guess he got nothing to say more about his budget

hai..i just bought a mtb...a shimano XT groupset also nearly make me vommit blood.. xandman one is even more....

Since there is no pending topics, do u guys know is there any Canon/Nikon adapter that have contact point so we can make use the aperture and AF for our m43?

Did used a Nikon adaptor for the Nikon G lens before... It have the manual switch or trigger to manually turn the aperture ring...

A quick question from an old school Nikon FM2 user... who's now too lazy (and old!) to lug a DSLR around...

Olympus Pen Mini/Lite or Sony Nex-C3?

Dear all,

I just got my EP3 today! And when i shake my 14-42mm lens, i heard some sound. Like the screw inside got loose. You get what i mean?

What should i do. =(

thanks for your reply, i shall google more info for this hope there is 1 of ours as well hehe

it is alright if you read the manual, not too loud and "loose" of cos. thats the OIS mechanism if not mistaken. Dont worry if your lens works well.

Ahh speaking of Nikon adapter, I still have my old Nikkor 50mm F1.8 back at my hometown. Might aswell get the adapter and try it on my GF3.

So 50mm mount to m43 will be 100mm right?
And 28mm will be 56mm? Saw somebody selling one in Garage Sales.

if your flash is not a m43 or 43 supported flash then you would not get that auto ttl function on your flash

i m used to Manual settings for the flash...
so it would work?
AWESOME!!!!!!!

Olympus will announce 75mm f1.8 next week!

guys another noobish question...
how to slide down the OM-D screen...?
i have to pull out the bottom first then push down the top...
but i saw camera shop just push the top and the screen folds down...

Hahaha. Thats sill one of the unsolved mysteries im facing. I too do like what u do. Pull bottom out then push top down....very very slowly.

Hi,

Do you mean the OIS mechanism works in this way? That that "screw" inside will get "loose" etc? How do i know if it doesn't affect my lens workability?

It should be pull top, then pull out bottom...
If want total flat down, need to pull top out all the way then push top downward...
Is weird way, unlike the nex-7...

Anybody has USED Olympus 14-42mm lens (BLACK) to sell? Lemme know thanks.

yes. very very slowly indeed.
hahahahahaha.
all oso sayang new camera maaaa.
