QUOTE(minizian @ Aug 5 2015, 07:00 PM) Get voigtlander adapter considering they listed as official parts in m43 website. Bear in mind that whatever lens u put into it will be multiplied by two... Voigt adapter is pricey but it does it work  Cropfactor is useful in making small m mount lens into telephoto lens  I also tranfer my lens between oly and Ricoh gxr depending on circumstances. Lack of focus peaking in em5 slows thing down abit tho  Official Adapter super duper expensive  Still Voigtlander lenses on EM5 looks much balance and make the EM5 very handsome!

QUOTE(minizian @ Aug 6 2015, 05:40 PM) Paiseh. I mean I leave my m.mount lens on gxr as it has focus peaking which allows me to quickly shoot fast. While I use native oly and pana lens on the em5 since they have af function. If I have time to spare I don mind out manual focus lens on my oly.. Sad that native voigtlander m43 lens are very expensive. Rather get m mount lens which allows me to use on gxr and em5 but have to factor in crop factor  Today discovered the Enlarge All to do manual focus in GXR instead of Enlarge Part, much easier to Manual focus now!

QUOTE(minizian @ Aug 6 2015, 06:06 PM) Tbh I actually consider swapping em5 to em1. But considering the pro and cons of both i think that em5 suits me more for my need. I got my em5 used so nth much to complain for the price I paid. Tbh em5 sucks when come to tracking shots but I only those kind of shot once or twice per year. I suppose em1 better in that aspect but at expense of added bulk. The grip featured in m43 rumour seems to be looking good but pricey  Yet still cheaper than oly ones My current [wtb] list is voigtlander 50mm f1.5 and probably get oly 35mm f1.8 for street shoot since its compact and fast af shooting. Need to get voiglander Nikon f mount to m43 too since I have some Nikon glasses. The Voigtlander VM-E Close Focusing Adapter very useful! It improved the closest focus distance of CV15 from 0.5M to 0.2M and CV40 from 0.7M to 0.3M. I saw the China made adapter with similar function and i ordered, hopefully it works the same way! http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....bucket=2#detailHere are the sample from Sony E.

QUOTE(minizian @ Aug 6 2015, 10:22 PM)  thanks bro.. is the battery life really that bad as written or reported in forum or websites? BOTAK_WAI and bobds78 does E-m1 really work well on those four thirds lens or they are still better off with four thirds camera like E-5? Yes. Battery life of A7II is bad. I have 3 batteries in total.

minizian Brother, i am very happy and satisfy with the A12 M-Mount Module on GXR. Very sharp. I found out that you can change the setting of the Peripheral Illum (+3) to make the peek focusing white bolder even more visible when magnifying x8 and much more easier to nail down the focus even at F1.4 with Voigtlander 40mm f1.4 lens.

QUOTE(yankiat @ Aug 18 2015, 08:46 PM) Why not GM5 you guys recommending? This guy uses GM5 with 20mm f1.7 which I think is nice. That's why I'm thinking to get GM5 instead of GF7 or Sony RX. I think sensor of GM5 is bigger right? Hence perform better under low light and nicer depth of field? http://www.smashpop.netI'm more into prime lens.. Been trying to find out which one suits me more. To me, I vote for GM5, i like the small design and easy to carry around. The kit lens is not bad too, and small!

QUOTE(yankiat @ Aug 26 2015, 06:56 PM) Its me again! Ok so I have called up Miyamondo Sunway branch to check on stock availability for GM5 but sadly they don't. So I have these 2 options: - 1) Go to Sunway branch, pay deposit and wait for them to call me when the stock arrives.Takes 3-5 days according to them and it's an import set. 2) Order from Lazada (import set too) and wait for them to courier (either ABD or Miyamondo?) My worries is if they would send defect or dented unit to me as I don't get to inspect and test before confirming purchase. Am I worry too much? Which one would you go for? Option 1, unless you know the shop will pack the camera securely. If Shashinki I have no worry, my A7II AND 55mm f1.8 are fro Shashinki via TaQBin courier.

QUOTE(bobds78 @ Aug 27 2015, 10:35 PM) Wah bro, damn good info yo! That thing will turn the 12-32 into a 9.48mm (abt 19mm) super wide. I wonder how's the IQ. Judging from the photos in that forum, seems to be quite acceptable. You still need a 37-43mm step-up ring to connect the 2 pieces of hardware. If it is as cheap, I might want to go for it. Time to go hunting again.. you gas me up edy bro! Thx for the info. I am going to buy A12 28mm GXR Lensor and it free this converter lens that can be used with 12-32mm. If you want, I can sell when I got it. This is the free gift I am getting. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=686.10...&id=39467735509This post has been edited by philipcs: Aug 27 2015, 10:48 PM
