QUOTE(lamjunrong @ Jan 29 2015, 08:11 PM) Batu caves? Tag me along! wonder if i could tumpang kereta if anyone is driving  I live nearby PJ SS2 ------------------ Another thing to ask you guys is im looking to get a m43 camera, primary for video recording and also for street photography Two model come in my mind, GH3 or EM5. Choose GH3 because of the in-camera video codec and the controls; while choose EM5 because of the IBIS so i can mount many lens for video. Not going for GH4 or EM1 due to budget and not considering other system because i have tried other system  Not very particular in video and image quality, just want to know your opinion on GH3 and EM5, thanks for your valuable input gh3 is awesome i think, wins over the oly system on most parts except IBIS. why not em10? it's a better and newer camera than the em5 but biggest cons is the lack of weather sealing.

QUOTE(lamjunrong @ Jan 29 2015, 09:10 PM) i do think about the EM10, but picked the EM5 as i might highly rely on the 5-axis for video, as i am gonna use quite a lot of manual lens. Some of my friend suggest me to get the A7II but the price point doesnt justify for me So let say i use a panasonic lens with OIS on EM5, do i need to turn off the OIS on the lens so that it wont affect the IBIS from property functioning? i dont really feel lacking for the IBIS on my em10 though, never try the em5 before. yes, you only keep the one on the lens or body running at the same time.

QUOTE(jloi @ Feb 9 2015, 02:38 PM) Thanks  Yea but somehow 40mp is a nice addition for people wanna shoot landscape for large printing or maybe cropping. But of course, there are alot limitation now. Yea EM1 next gen will follow up current EM1 which come with PDAF. After all it is still their flagship cam. But I dont wish the same articulated flip scren la  I think the 1st part of the grip is not compatible. The second large grip is confirmed can. A little question, do you used the oly 75-300 II before? i am thinking to get one for birding

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ Feb 10 2015, 03:43 AM) There are always Panasonic 100-300mm which is faster Or wait for 300mm F4 Pro If you have EM1,can opt for 4/3 lenses aww the oly that I found on GS was sold. I couldn't find any sources for 2nd hand pana 100-300 though. haha the 300mm f4 would be the perfect lens but then I am still a student

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ Feb 11 2015, 08:55 PM) 70-300 alone is about RM800 or so used??(Not entirely sure) The adapter i think RM350 used? EM10 won't be able to AF sufficiently quick with it  no PDAF but then i read some reviews of the 70-300, aren't that positive I would say since most people claiming the new 75-300 is way better and suitable for m4/3 bodies. EDIT: made the mistake of reading things about the 50-200 and was totally poisoned with it and again, can't get anyone selling it used other than this http://shashinki.com/shop/used-olympus-zui...nt-p-10530.htmlThis post has been edited by mingyuyu: Feb 12 2015, 03:38 AM

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ Feb 12 2015, 01:12 PM) 50-200mm is very good lens But 70-300mm is quite a good lens also,have seen load of nice work coming out from it It's a moot point on non PDAF body anyway  that's why the only choice is the 75-300 then. QUOTE(lamjunrong @ Feb 12 2015, 10:34 PM) Thinking of getting a voigtlander m43 lens, but i am not sure which i am gonna get since i can onyl buy one I be using it for portraiture and street photography, i guess portraiture is 42.5mm while for street photography is the 17mm lens, but just want to know which of the four will be your first choice and why I am aware that all four voigtlander lens are having very good macro capability so also give it a try Thanks for your input  the 42.5mm is my dream lens haha, a good 0.95 + awesome macro capability are just godsend. too bad it's very expensive.

QUOTE(Nogol @ Mar 6 2015, 02:35 PM) Nice small flash. I can't buy it because no budget. Trying to sell of my EPL-5. Currently I'm using YongNuo YN560 II as my flash. I used it with my DSLR before I sold it and got a EM-5. Manual mode. Just wondering, has anyone experience this, when I shoot with flash, the image appears to expose fine from EM-5 LCD screen, but when transferred to computer, image is very dark on a computer screen. Good thing I shot it in RAW, could it be a problem? And adjust exposure in Lightroom. I experienced the same before. But not only with flash, I guess there's something to do with the auto brightness screen. So I just turned on live Histogram on my em10 all the time to make sure I don't messed up the exposure again.

Quite quiet recently in the photography forum so... I am going to post some shots anyways   So far managed to live with only 1 lens - 12-40mm for 3 months already and works perfectly for almost every situation.

QUOTE(bobds78 @ Mar 17 2015, 11:05 AM) Even cheap models from ebay will work just fine no worries. Heck i will get them all  not really imo. if you get a really bad quality one you are basically dumping your money into the sea since it destroys the IQ too heavily (CA, contrast, color cast and sharpness). get something like hoya or kenko at least
