Empire subang got camera shop selling cheap? PERFECT

Very dangerous like that... Please sayang yr lens, or u can just pass it to me...

hmm.. kinda weird to be deciding between 2 such different focal lengths.  i assume you are bound by a certain budget in the decision?  perhaps also let us know what range you prepared to spend so that the answers are more realistic.

anyway, the m.zuiko 17mm 2.8 is a good general lens.  main thing going for it is price and compactness.  one seller in Garage Sales letting go at RM450 ... good value (if condition of lens is good).

as for using Nikkor on m4/3 bodies (i have not tested EF lenses on m4/3)... here's a summary :-

- adapters mostly acts as physical mount so there is no electronic contact between the lens and camera after mounting. 
- features like AF, auto aperture control is not available.
- you can only set the aperture if the lens has an aperture ring
- there are some adapters claiming to have circuitry to control the aperture of G lens (which does not have aperture rings)
- focusing is manual and although manageable might feel a bit inconvenient if you are used to AF only usage.  have to zoom the Live View for more precise focusing especially if you are snapping at large aperture
- you can practically only use A and M mode
btw, a 50mm is effectively giving u a 100mm view ... and doing manual focusing handheld thru the Live View without stable support like tripod (where the display is zoomed 5-14x to assist more precise focus) ... err ... can be a challenge

You can do that in OM-D

What i did, I assigned the magnify button to Fn2, it's just beside the shutter button.
Press Fn2 to magnify, press again to exit, or press the shutter button.

Olympus 75mm F1.8 USD 900!!

Expensive ahhh >,<

Why not just set the manual assist to on under the setting menu... When shooting in manual, the lens will auto magnify... Can try that... not sure will work with other brands lens...

U need to be in manual focus mode...
Can also use with saf+ manual...

yeah u r rite too, not bothered by the AF speed of 43 compared to ur OMD? hahaha
btw since u own lenses from 43 as well, i heard the optic fro 43 is very very good, what do u think?

aiyah must from the same 43 and m43 lah, canot compare others hahah

i iz jelly u, cause if i change camera like change underwear, die man, 1 day change 2 times camera LOL
