Normally if there's no detour (like to Penang, if from sabah it will detour to KL hub 1st then enroute to Penang) like sabah to KL direct it will reach next day for delivery, from experiences lah.

A super deal for Panasonic GH1 @Lazada:

GH1

Either apply the Lazada 10% discount if purchased through their app or get the Duit Raya code worth RM250 that pops up every now and then on their site, not necessarily will work 100% but worth a try, the 10% discount sure is working, I just tried.

With such pricing, it is suitable for people who want to learn photography.

GH1 14-140mm is just like a miniaturized DSLR with small 10X zoom lens. It might be the best body in m4/3 12mp sensor category.
Btw, fast forward to current gen body, G7 review has been released  laugh.gif

I am still considering the small body of GH1 for Video only but have no idea if the 14-140 will sell or not rclxub.gif

maybe bundled sale with your GF1?

i have no idea it will sell or not but i might have a potential buyer, i will PM u.

last time when i sell my 14-42mm and this guy with GF7 with 12-32mm asking about my lens and i ask him why bother with it when the focal range is similiar, i ask him to look for 40-150mm.

Sigma 19mm 2.8 vs Pana 20mm 1.7 vs Oly 25mm 1.8. Price point Sigma is the cheapest. AF its also fast. Anybody using this lens?. Yr input pls.
*
If size is not a big deal to you, go for the Sigma 19/2.8, its fast, it's cheap and AF very fast too! I don't have the 19mm but I do have the 60mm, whIch is the best of the lot amongst the trio of 19/30/60. I would go for the 19/2.8 version 1 that doesn't use the smooth barrel which scratches easily and should cost cheaper, if you can find one.

using the 30 f2.8, as u mentioned, its cheap, AF is fast, image quality is slendid, using the non smooth older version.
but still have its down side, the start up time slow, focus ring not smooth enough, aperture not big enough, other than tat, quite happy with it! rclxms.gif
would like to try 25 f1.8 though.. sweat.gif
*
Ha ha yes, the good side more than make up the cons thumbup.gif

I had the Oly 25/1.8 but sold it off after 2 weeks, not that I hate or didnt like the lens, I just find that it hadn't surprised me in anyways at all, I would rather keep using my old trusty the Pana 20/1.7 sweat.gif

since 30 and 25 isnt much diff in terms of POV, i looking forward mostly on the larger 1.8 aperture, wanna c wat can it actually achieve. maybe good use in tighter space while still achieve fair amount of bokeh if u know wat i mean.

since i got a takumar 50 1.4, the 100mm equiv and 1.4 aperture simply blows me away, maybe look for a sharper 45 1.8 to bump up the focus & sharpness department. outdoor of cause, 100mm equiv is too long for tighter space.
*
The 45/1.8 is said to be sharper and for the price you pay for a used unit, it's worth every penny vs the 25/1.8. As far as bokeh is concerned I assumed and I bet the 45/1.8 will give a better effect in view of it's 90mm equiv FOV. If you look for tight space performer, the 20/1.7 and the 25/1.8 will serve you better or if you have some more $$ to splash, the 17/1.8 is even better thumbup.gif



QUOTE(gin&tonic @ Jul 11 2015, 12:07 PM)
Thx for all yr input. Since this is my 2nd body & use primarily to grab quick shots n I think 19mm is enuff. Needed a small & light body for travelling instead of lugging the monterous heavy dslr....
*
Maybe you should also try out the in-expensive pana 14/2.5? Its really small (smallest of them all but not the 9mm body cap lens a totally different beast) and quite sharp too, AF pretty fast and for street shoot too! Very good for travelling.

14mm f2.5 my all-time favourite, 20/1.7 come next, both pretty big performer in terms of IQ/price/size. You can slap on the
14/2.5 on any body and its really fast! The newet the body the better. I just sold mine as a package with Em5 good deal can't resist and I am now without a 14/2.5 cry.gif cry.gif

FF is great but the weight n size is a pain not discounting the cost. For pros is a non issue but enthusiasts u have choices. Never succumb to GAS.
Just luv the M43 form factor n light weight.

Small and lightweight, yet packed with powerful features, that's the way to go!

If you like the 24mm & 50mm FOV, why not sell or trade your 17mm and try the 12-32mm+25mm combo? brows.gif

For 12mm and 75mm, i think those lenses are way too overpriced  sweat.gif
*
Micro 4/3 lenses have always been $$$, probably manufacturing compact lenses isn't cheap. However, there are new entrants to the market like Sigma, giving comparatively cheaper alternatives.


QUOTE(Nogol @ Jul 13 2015, 01:29 AM)
haha, but i like the 17mm also. and I already have the 12-50mm kit lens, don't need another 12-32mm lens.

Went out to shoot with my EM-5 last week. Will share some photos once I'm satisfied with the editing. smile.gif
*
The 12-50 ez is a superb kit lens and might as well be the best kit lens from Olympus, excluded the pro lenses.

I think you could try to swap your silver lens with other people's black lens. Maybe there is user who has black lens with silver body  laugh.gif

For PEN series body, i think silver color body has the best finishing, follow by white, then black. I believe lacquer finishing is better than matte finishing.

I love the matte finishing anytime, on any machines thumbup.gif




QUOTE(minizian @ Jul 15 2015, 08:11 AM)
Meh I suppose let it be since I may end up swapping for a lemon lens. At least good thing with that odd colour combo my camera will look unique among those black dslr laugh.gif

I wish more button for customisation in epl5. Not used having to scroll tru menu to adjust the setting. But then considering how much I got he epl5 I cant complain much eh laugh.gif

I notice the 40-150 lens actually quite good when I pixel peep my photo shot at both extreme end of focal length. thumbup.gif
*
The 40-150R lens (I presumed you are talking about this one) is latest non-pro version, most definitely better than the previous versions, and relatively in-expensive too.

Wah wah wa..all the features I wanted in a small-bodied camera are coming true yo! Good Job @BOTAK_WAI for presenting this to us!

Fully articulating LCD, bigger grip, higher resolution sensor and IBIS all the big features I have been chasing for, but for the price they asked, I will wait it out till it come down cry.gif

I had just booked a G6 yesterday and ordered a black pana 12-32 hopefully I will get it after the Raya holidays sometime next week. I have been switching back & forth between Olympus and Panasonic and I really enjoy them.

waiting to see if olympus has something better  tongue.gif

huh...no more D5300/D5500?  blink.gif

huh...why G6 and 12-32? Isn't it a downgrade compared to your EM5+12-50?  shocking.gif
*
D5300 definitely not for me (actually this is a better model over the d5500) due to its bigger size, I just couldn't agree with the size so sold it off, I had twice handled the d5500 although this is faster and a few nifty features like touchscreen and smaller size faster AF I still couldn't find a small enough setup and their lenses aren't cheap, not to mention they are huge too! Something I had been avoiding all this while. Small body with big lens simply doesn't work for me:stars: rclxub.gif

As for the G6, it has been a target model that I want to try on, basically the full articulating screen and nice design just got me, I am a big fan of full-articulating screen, it's just a handy feature that I couldn't avoid. As for the pana 12-32, I came to love the 12mm (effective FOV of 24mm) while using the 12-50EZ on the EM5, you can say it's a sort downgrade tongue.gif but I just got to try the G6.
