it just a handheld snapshot, but i like the lines dat why i shared..the blur mostly the moving leaves. neway i think its natural jungle path created by the water stream (that dried) at Mulu National Park. Cheers.

thinks of buying cctv lens f1.4 isit worth trying? even though it consider cheap, i don't want buying somethg that might just sit on drybox. hope some member here can share some experienced using this lens. thx.

p/s: now i only have f2.8 max

weekend spam..stitch from 4 photo with the 14mm

kitlens is ok..but i feel the pana have better build than the oly..if you love to do landscape i would suggest to get a uwa..i like uwa for landscape cos of the distortion..the only downside m43 uwa is so damn xpensive compare to dslr version..the other option is fisheye like samyang..however imho the uwa is versatile compared to fisheye..

hope tamron & sigma come out with line up..practically we are paying for precision glass and the build..but the glass on uwa is much smaller then the ff glass..think its a ripoff in the name of lightness hehe..

tamron are known for making sharp lens for a low price..and sigma better build + coating. I would not hesitate pairing sigma 1020 on m43 for long exposure shot. wish the auto adaptor from kipon available now.

Weekend spam..cannot afford uwa, alternatively 4 photo stitch to make a panorama.

I'm impress what 14mm can do. The wide & short focus characteristic do handy. Just photo of cat at home.

why dont consider pns like sony rx100. some quote better DR. anyway are you looking forward to expand your lens and maybe add light for your underwater setup. I guess that what are the things to consider. Is 1442 meet your criteria. Check on flickr if any underwater photo that you like taken with oly +1442. If yes go for it, everything else more or less about skills + composition.

hi guys,

considering to get samyang 8mm. may i know where can get the adapter and standard price..thx.

ya since its manual lens i'm thinking wanna use it for both canon and gx1. 2 bird one stone

oya samyang 7.5mm for m43

Beautifully done even on natural light..bro tcm maybe can go somewhere like butterfly park if any since your setup doesnt involve speedlight + diffuser..just suggetion

Any m43 member here attached the camera to digiscope?

you can buy raynox attach on you kitlens or old manual macro lens at lesser cost to enjoy macro photography..so far I haven't come across ET for m43.

definately good news, hopefully the come out with uwa and shorter zoom but still missing focus distance indicator which is very useful without tge evf.

depend on what you plan too shoot and where you plan to bring your foot. for butterfly thats more thn enough. for smaller subject such as spider you might consider longer lens. I have raynox 250 which need very close distance, i think less than obe feet. if you thinking buying 40-150mm I might suggest getting raynox 150. All I can say 40-150 + raynox250 you can get more magnification than using macro lens like 100mm on crop sensor. My advice buy the raynox 150 or 250, learn how to use then decide later if you need longer lens. I think you can ge 40-150 used around rm350-500. The next thing you need to consider is your lighting..but dat something to discuss later till you get your raynox and share your test shot hehe..Goodluck.
