hi all M4/3 Sifu,

anyone know the market price for a used Olympus 17mm F2.8 pancake lens?

is this lens nice ? new price is how much?

tq

What about a replacement battery for GF2? Any good brands?

Why don't get Original Pana Battery?
Buying Third Party one is risky

original pan cost around RM260...

Third party seems like around RM100

I'm using octopus as well. I'm not sure what indicator nutrinos is talking but when you start up your cam you've got a indicator on the top left.

BLS-5 is the newer version of the battery got some safety feature. Both can be use by E-P3 but BLS-5 need diff charger.

Hope this help

Get the pana 20mm instead or 25mm if money is not an issue

olympus E-P3, E-PL3 and E-PM

so confusing, they have the same spec?

Nope, they don't have the same specs and that is why you see there is price different between the models.

thx for the link, seems like like the other two EPL and EPM spec is quite similar to EP3 , just the touch screen function

Hi guys I'm very new to the world of photography... but in my current work I use camera a lot and it has piqued my interest in snapping great shots.

As I want to try something else than PNS camera, the MFT sounds like a great start

Can any sifu recommend what MFT I should get for beginner?
My budget could be anywhere from RM1500 to RM2500

Of course value for money is important! its a plus also if it can record 1080p HD videos, thanks!

17mm F2.8 pancake lens is a very decent yet near awesome lense I personally prefer that for street shooting than 14-42mm LOL

I heard the earthquake is causing the factory to shutdown hence the short supply of BLS-5

lens hood for my 40-150mm lens

Wiraone, sorry for the delay. The indicator i meant is the orange color battery low indicator. Octapus will turn off bfore warning u of low bat. As for the Worcell, they can mail to Msia. I got the BLS 1 frm them.


My EP3 comes with BLS1 n BLC1 chrger

amazon is selling the 17mm @ 200usd http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-M-Zuiko-Micr...6685726&sr=8-15
25mm better?

yes my ep3 comes with bls1 battery and blc1 charger.

GOSH, I own a 25mm f0.95 Voigtlander, it is manual lens but i have to tell u that when it par with GH2, it's beyond what u can believe... GH3 can make manual lens to have the "Magnification assist",.. just like the Manual focus assist... but since this the lens is not build to have electrical contact, lower end GH1 (or other model) cant do the zooming....

the bokeh is just BOKEHLICIOUS~~~

got myself this before get 20mm f1.7
