Hi guys, FYI, don't throw away your faulty olympus kitlens (14-42mm)

I just helped my friend get a new unit with RM 250 (1 year warranty) under Olympus exchange program, when sending the faulty lens for service.

Hi, how does it work? Coz I have one faulty 14-42mm probably that can be exchanged? Thanks for your help.

I walked in to send the broken one (warranty expired) for service and look for possible repair. Few days later, they called me for quotation to repair about RM247 but telling me there is a exchange program which you can pay Rm250 to get the exact same 14-42 lens (newer version) with 1 year warranty more smile.gif

of course, I go for new lens

the reason I go with olympus/panasonic, more accessories smile.gif since they are in market quite sometimes.

Hopefully oly+pana can speed up their upgrade roadmap especially on sensor part.

Maybe get an used EM5 for wedding photo shooting purpose first , quite urgent.

Has found one RM 2200 (OMD5+12-50mm+20mm panny) with shutter count 7k no more warranty rclxub.gif unsure which to go. Home minister not approve my budget on OMD5+PRO

do you need the weather proof and EVF on the EM5 badly?

if yes, follow your initial plan: OMD-EM5 black + Pro 12-40mm + H-HLD1 = RM4k

if not consider my suggestion (do-not-need-to-change-lens-frequently setup) for pre-wedding photo shooting, wedding reception shooting, and honeymoon trip shooting:

Olympus E-P5 ( M.17mm f1.8 + M.14-42mm II R ) at RM 2689
45mm f1.8 at RM 1,025
Any used M43 body at RM250-RM300

45mm on E-P5 body and 17mm on another body. If you can trade your 14-42 II R with a 12-32 kit lens, you have pretty much focal length been covered.

of course, your initial plan EM5 with Pro lens is more convenient la...

thanks for the suggestion. Heard quite some negative feedback on OMD5+20mm panny combination especially slow focus. Unsure how bad is it.

Consider weather proof is quite important for me as I go waterfall go hiking quite often.

I previously owned EPL1 + 20mm (I survive even without interchanging lens for 1 year). It is really light and easy carry everywhere combination and good for street camera. I still remember I was the one who always carry it for hiking while most of my friends abandoned their heavy dslr at home.

After it was stolen and get myself OMD5 which not even half year and more than 500 shutter count was stolen again! This made me real sad cry.gif trying to quit photography and survive with iphone 5 till lately my bro requests me to become his wedding photographer.

anywhere throw back one of the pic (20mm+EPL1) i taken
