Ok ok
That's a 20mm f1.7 which I like bcos very flat but not wide enough

14mm f1.7 too expensive and not flat enough for me but should be super fantastic quality wise

my LR5 can't open RW2 files... must install LR6 or CC or convert to DNG? any other way to open it?

Is RW2 new format ? Or you're on new camera model ?

I have problem wit file from EM1m2 on LR5 also, EM1 and before no issue. LR5 too old 

Robin wong E-M10 M3 is out. his review, no major upgrade over M2 with same 16MP instead of 20MP.

Hi . I'm new here . Just got a new GX85 with kit lens 14-40. I'm interested in wild life subjects so aiming at a reasonable priced telephoto. Have been fixed to get the Oly 40-150 priced at only rm450 .But after reading some poison here I'm not sure anymore. What are lens  should be considered besides above ?I am a beginner at photograph.

i read the ming thien 1 instead.

tldr version: same em10 mk2 with better processor, cluster s-af, improved 5-axis ibis, but remain same old 16mp sensor and remove wireless flash rc

Hello fellow G85 user! You can check out the Pana 100-300mm for budget wildlife shooting

If you feel form enough then can try the PanaLeica 100-400mm which I've mentioned earlier a bit in this thread

Hi Thanks for input If I found this forum earlier I could have made better decisions on my Lumix camera lens combi . I didn't even know then I could buy Lumix G85 exstock  from Excel Photos Penang . Ordered mine from another shop in Komtar and it took a week. HV been following your postings here and your collection of lens is really impressive . But haven't come round to the idea of paying for a lens more than the camera cost in the 100-400mm. I know one day I will but now still trying to find out if I am a photographer or just another passing hobby. Will check up the 100-300.Btw what is a good beginner tripod?

So finally on this 60th Merdeka Day i've got some time to test the new Laowa 7.5mm f2.0 (lightweight-pink version) on my gx8, here's the settings i used:

- set the lens to infinity at f4.0 so anything from a few feet away will be in focus,

- set camera to 'Shoot W/O Lens at focal length 8mm, that's the lowest the gx8 can go. I hope PANASONIC update the GX8 FW to follow what Olympus did to their Pen-F, a menu to choose the appropriate MF lens.

- set the IS to vertical

- set the mode dial to A for Aperture priority

- use only EVF for added stability

- set ISO to 200

- set color to VIVID
Shooting the little lens on the gx8 is no-brainer really, specially if under bright sunlight, perfect for the Merdeka Parade in the State Capital, Kota Kinabalu, time for me to shoot 10-15mins only.

And along the way I also shoot some Kota Kinabalu's famous sea views.

Some Close-up shots too. Amazing how this little at 7.5mm I can still get some bokeh, as close as 2-3 inches! I could have set the aperture to f2.0 to gain maximum bokeh but I forgot all about it but still, at f4.0 some bokeh, just to demonstrate that this little devil is capable of bokeh! No need focusing, just dial the focusing ring to the nearest and move the camera back & forth to get the correct focus :thumbsup: 

Just little PP done.
PROS -  I really really like this lens

1. All in all, this lens is a little gem, a tad smaller than the Oly 12/2.0

2. Very easy to use since it's MF only. And I shoot strictly at f4.0, very sharp.

3. Small size perfect for m4/3 bodies, even gx8, making the setup lightweight.

4. And most important, it is a rectilinear lens at 7.5mm, with over 100 degree wide-angle view, really amazing field of view. Very very little distortion and no need correction. Really really love the FOV and still got to get use to this he he
CONS - not much

1. For MF only lens, it is pricey.

2. No pouch coming with the package.
HAPPY 60th MERDEKA DAY!

yeap. even robin curse third gen ady still use 16mp. i think em-5 mk3 will only use 20mp, since em10 is entry level.
