@jloi and @subrok007,

I don't really wanna purchase so many lens. I'm looking for a light weight one so that I don't underuse it like how I underuse my DSLR. At least i can just put the camera in my handbag and wont cause any tiredness due to too heavy.

What all rounder is good and cheaper one? lol
How bout prime? around 35mm is quite good for group photos and indoor shooting smile.gif 45mm is a bit far for me.
*
as everyone recommended, a kit lens 14-42mm and pana 20mm f.17 will do for u wink.gif
if you wan wider may consider pana 14mm f2.5

or or or..if u reli too rich, get pana X lens..14-42mm combo with 20mm f1.7..u have 2 pancake lens biggrin.gif

Added on November 7, 2011, 7:53 pm

Adapter only RM89 X)

If you have budget, get a B+W...
It's worth the money...

I've been travelling in Australia recently, Spring season is the worst, with rain and sudden temperature change of 10-15 degree celcius.

Water droplets just slights off the filter without leaving a trace. else just puff a breath on the filter and it is clean! Fog on filter leaves very fast.

Hahah ever since I put on B+W, I've nvr put the lens cap on... lol

Polarize... get a cheap one and try first...

welcome spiderwick

all three third generation PEN series come with kit lens 14-42mm 3.5-5.6 which is actually kind of good already for outdoor street photography assuming u dont stalking people from far distance..lols

e-pm1 doesnt come with built in flash but come with external small flash connected to the hotshoe if i am not mistaken. secondly, u are shooting mostly outdoor,street..so why need flash..lmao...just get a good better lens like pana 20mm 1.7 or get any long telephoto lens (manual) if u prefer stalking people..hehe

of course for macro shoot normally u need dedicated lens for that, but u can just find old cheap manual lens for that especially macro shoot normally are taken without autofocus.

i think u should just go to any shop nearby, ask them to try any of the micro4/3 model, if u feel satisfy, buy away..
