Zuiko 12-40 f2.8 now price at 2.5k? Any recommendation to get that price in kl?

Agreed, m43 has much better lenses line-up than any of the mirrorless camps. And the Zeiss 24/1.8 e-mount is damn expensive. Another alternative to along this range is the Samyang e-mount 24/1.4, which is manual focus. This lens beats me, coz using it on the a6k is a shame on the a6k's supposedly fastest AF. I wouldn't slap it on the a6k all-time as its a waste of a6k's AF.

And about design, personally, i still prefer the PEN series design, I wish someday they'll put an EVF and an articulating Lcd, yes an articulating Lcd, i just love this feature when I first touch on it on a Canon G11 years ago and recently on an G2. Its so useful,  evf & articulating Lcd.

@mingyuyu I think the ecg1 grip is very useful for you since yr lens is heavier. I don't know why it is Rm298 so expensive.. I got mine much cheaper from SG.

At this point in time, technology probably allows only limited tilting capabilities, I can foresee articulating Lcd as thin as they can be on pen series, looking at recent developements in smartphones where the thickness is getting slimmer by each release, i can only assume same technology will migrate to mirrorless soon. Hopefully soon  

Frankly, the Pen series is my 1st love of the m43 format. I stopped at Ep3, since not much came along. And criss-crossing between gf1/g2/epl2/ep2. The recent Ep5 doesn't entice me either, as I have acquired the use of EVF & articulating lcd along the way

Third party grip, cheap nice and they do ship to here.

Try here:

eBay

I always buy my battery there, under the DSTE brand name. Very reliable. The higher number mAh denotes bigger longer power.

Nice pics! Em10 not bad at all. What glass you use bro?

Isn't that the 'PRO' series lens? Very nice!

I am still sticking to the old trusty 20 & 14.

Thanks
yea EPL7 sensor same with EM5. In fact EP5 and EM10 also using EM5 sensor with EM10 and EPL7 using EM1 image processing engine. EM1 sensor is made by Pana though
Look for next year, EM5 replacement. Hopefully it will come with new sensor

Wish to post some photo. But I am but new here. Not sure how to post photo

Some photos I took for fun in Kuantan last week (5th October 2014).
All shots are JPG SOOC, don't take raw coz takes up too much space and my PP skills are non-existent.
Pix have been re-sized to save space.

Gear used: Olympus OM-D E-M1 with either Oly 12-40mm, Panny 35-100mm or Samyang 7.5mm Fisheye.

Deep in contemplation...

Minus the hood, is actually almost or maybe less half size of canikon 70-200 f2.8 plus it can shoot up to 300mm (after crop factor) at constant 2.8!

No la not really heavy. Sweat coz it was hot at Dogathon

actually almost 5k+ 

thanks! It has been time since I shoot concert.. yesterday like finally can release all my desire XD
Too bad I couldn't get access to photographer lane. I just stalk with 75mm at the back LOL

i am very particular with composition when shooting (meh i know i love rule of third so much)
It will be awesome if i got 40-159mm f2.8
