Anyone interested in oly 25mm f1.8 @rm1k ?

I will eventually mingrate to Panasonic LX100 soon. I will put up a thread to sell all my m43 gear. Items to sell:

1) Olympus OMD EM5 Black
2) Olympus Battery Grip
3) Olympus 12-40mm pro lens
4) Olympus FL-36r external flash with remote capability + gamilight bounce
5) Two original batteries
6) Eye-fi 8GB pro wifi memory card.

U can PM to book or just wait for thread to open.

technically it does. LX100 is 1.7 - 2.8, 24 - 75mm, olympus 2.8 on all 24-80mm. so LX100 is faster wide open.

Since im not planning to buy other lenses anytime soon, might as well opt for all-in-one. and its a worthy replacement since it comes with m43 sensor as well.

I am sort of in mingyuyu state of mind too (if you dont mind me saying this ), wondering if its worth completely changing from "inter-changeable" to a "fixed" lens situation.

I experimented with all-in-one camera when I had the Fuji X100, yes I really like the colors it produced and the awesome built-in-flash (no other onboard flash that i have used so far beats this) and its exposure is always spot-on, but somehow I terribly missed the m43 so in the end I sold it.

But the LX100 has so much going on that maybe it's worth a try, it has Leica lens, flash, evf, good sensor etc etc

Like always, you took awesome macro shots already. Maybe you can mount a close-up lens (like the raynox?) on the LX100 someday?. I have watched some 4k videos from the LX100 and they are super.

I used to own an X100 when it first came out. I changed to M43 simply because I feel the need to ZOOM during certain moments.

I didn't do any multi exposure bracketing and never shoot in raw because i lazy PP
but to be frank, the shots can be considered PP because i just throw all the photos into a lossy photo resize program, tick "sharpen +1" and "auto contrast", then click batch process.
I think your shots are better than mine, some time you just need to upload a larger size picture with proper cropping then it's done. 
Yes, with 14-42.
1st shot i couldn't go any further, e-pl3 sensitivity sucks, for me iso400 is max for dark sky.
2nd shot white balance kantoi. 
3rd shot couldn't get it stable, too windy and too cold, my hand shaking. 
4th shot barely ok, but still can't get the right feel.

I'm still learning how to shoot a good photo, still haven't get right with all the focus, composition, exposure, white balance, dof, hdr, bla bla bla bla.
I've no passion in photo shooting, most of the time i still prefer to shoot with handphone and upload to facebook. 

Of course the $ spend for EM5 worth it, you might get 2 stop better than e-pl3 i think.
Why not try to a photo session with other m43 users and try to borrow their pro lens and compare whether should you go for body or lens upgrade. 

where la u find so many butterfly sit there let u shoot? u make me very itchy to shoot

thanks but yours are far better 

went to taiwan, simply like the people there.

first photo touched up not so well 

btw, do you think is it possible for you to amaze us with multiple exposure macro shots? 

  i mean this type:

The body or lens first argument is seen like the chicken & egg analogy but to me, a lens is more important than the body (no, i don't intend to start a war here no no ) simply because a lens is more useful than the body it is attached to, just like those cult manual focus lenses of yester years that is still capable of fetching unbelievable prices because of their unique characteristics, irrespective of which body they are mounted to.

A better body only when you have progressed beyond what your current camera body can allow, for example, you want to shoot low light, a newer body will definitely gives a better advantage than an old body, or probably you want faster shutter speed for fast-action shots, a newer body will most always gives you better speed than your old one, so on & so forth.

No harm getting a newer body if you find a fantastic deal though.

I totally understand that a good body doesn't mean much without good lens. I've often suffer quite a lot when it's getting dark while traveling. Most shots requires me to jack up the ISO a lot to get a usable image but the noise is very apparent.

Another point is that an UWA lens costs a bomb. Cheapest 7-14 is at least RM2k right?

Get samyang uwa lens for cheap. But it's fixed focal length and manual focus but great quality nonetheless.

It's 7.5mm mft model

BTW, in real life application, appropriately how many percent better than those 1 incher compact like RX100 m3 and g7x?

LX100 heard got a lot of artifacts and over process on the edge of the pictures shot. But damn the leaf shutter could really do wonder on daylight flash photography, if can sync with extreme speed, it could kill the daylight.

Waiting for photographers to do wonder on it.

they said JPEG will see a lot of processing, and the RAW file still no support yet. But this type of lens most likely RAW file also will be headache to fix one.

Electronic shutter.... got any site sharing the highest sync speed with this thing? 1/12800 will be awesome compare to those 1/250 or 1/320 (higher end m43). Looking at those shot with Fuji x100 with shutter up to 1/2500 or 1/3200 was already super impressive.

hmm...then it worth to fork out the few hundred bucks over the RX100

exactly. that's why RX100 still remains pocketable compact king.

size really does matter. we tend to shoot more photos using phone camera.
