A pro lugging around an extra heavy gear look even more ridiculous as that heavy gear will eventually wear him down much faster than our little machines, he will envy you each time you pass him by with your chest out and he with his chest in catching air  

Bring lots of batteries cos they die really really fast.

Put your camera inside airtight plastic bag after before going back into heated indoor environment to protect against condensation. Let the temperature rise equalize slowly.

Don't change lens in the snow.

haven't tested out the bazooka yet, it's still in the drybox for now lol

Whoa rm6k for the lens? Do you think this is reasonable?

Ya the 12/1.4 is a killa! How much they sell?

Well I shoot events and my Pana 35-100mm doesn't always zoom as far as I want it to when I need to shoot close ups of the stage area or some sniping shots, for example (especially since the General Election is just around the corner)

And seeing that an Oly 40-150mm (extra 50mm) costs around the same price, and the Oly 300mm costs 11-12k.. it's a steal for me already, considering that the G85 handles very well even in 1600 and 3200 ISO

Cant remember the price for the 12mm but it was around 4k iirc

thanks man!
don't know how much they going to sell in RM though, although it's the same price with the EM1 mark II in the US

oops lol

also fixed my original post d 

I have also moved 100% to Panasonic to take advantage of the dual-IS thing but mind you, not all are compatible

Here's the list of compatible lenses, might not be the latest list, all latest lenses should support dual is like the 100-400

i just using a cheap but solid tripod i got from one of my local camera shops


this one looks sexy af:-

I had to use grips on my old E-M5's because the heavier lens (like the 35-100mm or even the 75mm) will make it very difficult to hold the camera...

I'm considering MeFOTO, looks very compact and lightweight but very stable and reliable.

Don't know which to decide though, Backpacker is great, but the GlobeTrotter Air is so tempting as well @_@

FULL MOOOOOOON

I'm excited about this... GF9/GX800/GX850 9 (damn joo panasonic) ... cos it comes in black

hi guys,

Just got my hands on the M.Zuiko 75-300mm II. I gonna go to LIMA17 for the airshow. Just wanna ask as this lens don't come with lens hood with it.
(Olympus love to sold it separately  )
Do I really need a lens hood for this lens? It come with Oly "ZERO" coating tech and I paired with a Kenko MC UV filter.
And I do know this lens have a problem with "lens creep" issue eventhough the hood will only weight few grams..

Never had thought about the drop in contrast before. But i guess it true as the hood does focus the light to the lense and preventing stray light from going to. Thanks
Yup i know as I was the one that wanna buy your 75-300mm before, but kinda stuck with low cash that time. Seem like maybe need to order the JJC LH-J61E for it then. The JJC is build using plastic or metal? I want to reduce weight as much bcoz this lens do creep alot.

I always buy hood becoz I hate to put filter on my lens... Hood is like a protection for my lens.

Why you sell your 75-300mm?

My E-P1 is still using 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Lens (attached with m43 to 43 converter). Autofocus is good enough for normal usage although still got a bit of hunting.

Panasonic GX7 + 20mm F1.7 or Nikon D3400 with Sigma 18-35mm F1.8....

Hahaha damn it i'm now considering.. Just ditched my Sony and would like to try something else.

D3400 I'm afraid will suit me more.. snapbridge is gonna be important for me.
A6000 with 50mm f1.8.. produce awesome quality. their lens is pretty expensive.. nifty 35mm for em is rm1.4k. lol ps i sold it with marginal lost.. price went up hahaha..

ps i think the other camera makers will soon increase their price as well.

Damn i should have bought A7II earlier on when the price was still RM4k for it's body! now the body plus lens is close to RM7k... went up dramatically.

Anyway after long consideration and i have to agree with the comments provided.. I'll be getting EP5 with it's 17mm f1.8. Should be sufficient for me to shoot. has WIFI, IBIS, 2 dials for manual control.. Review back the picture i took i've actually took the most picture with my GX1 with oly 25mm f1.8 previously.

*The D3400 only has snapbridge and good battery life upon further looking into the details.. it's lacking in alot of area.. autofocus.. controls.. etc.
I'm not willing to spend more than rm5k as well hence being the cheap me.. I'll just go for an old camera with a good prime lens. 
When i really shoot for $$$ i'll consider upgrading la.. haha

1 x 32mb Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-II and a Neck / Pillow

finally bought my second body so i don't have to worry about battery life and changing lenses

oh and also got the PanaLeica 42.5 f1.2 at last, together with my 2nd and 3rd flashes

This is in EP3?
