Still thinking 45mm 1.8 next or 75mm 1.8 next  hmm.gif
45mm too near to 12-40mm but 75mm not so versatile.

IMO 45mm f1.8 better, while nearer to focal length you had but at times you'll appreciate that extra stop in aperture.
Imagine dropping ISO from ISO6400 to ISO 2500 or something brows.gif

12-45 pro? For what? Kan dah ada 12-40

And I doubt the size gonna be any smaller if they're putting it under the PRO line
*
Still speculation but Robin Wong speculate it's f4. His reason are there's holy trinity f2.8 lenses in Canikon DSLR lineup, which Olympus already have, AND there's trinity f4 lineup as well, so Olympus will fill the void.
Hopefully more compact and friendlier price tag.

I don't care on above 3 tongue.gif ( already have 12-40 pro, 40-150 pro, that 100-400 is not pro range )
but really eyeing that wide zoom. Looks like direct competitor ( in terms of focal length range ) to Panasonic 10-25mm. If 7-25mm f4 with friendlier price tag, oh take my money biggrin.gif

Pelik bin aneh.

Was hoping for 1.8 primes that are PRO and weather sealed, lighter, smaller and cheaper than 1.2 series.
*
If look at the roadmap, there's 'bright prime lenses' in the PRO range. Dont expect better than f1.2 so our guesses are f1.8 PRO ( weather seal, better coating and IQ )

QUOTE(Wild Honey @ Nov 29 2019, 09:16 PM)
Can lar, but bulky lor. Plus, I think the 12-100mm alone would take up all the space in my small bag
*
Still better than 12-40 + 40-150 what biggrin.gif

For anyone who wants to buy Oly stuff, prices quite nice for the lenses leh

Yeah save this too. Promo damn good wei, below rm3k for f1.2 prime, or 12-100 f4 pro zoom, body price also quite good.

They rebranded their Olympus store into Flash Gadget, I think clearing overstock camera.

Not too far from truth I would say.

Flash Gadget rebranded that Olympus flagship store in MidValley into gadget shop, I think not selling camera at all now.

I may be slow but recall they are moving their stuff from the Mid Valley shop to Garden Flash Gadget when I was looking at their Binoculars.

Sadly was not inform of any sales and price was at retail at the time. Around 1 and half month ago.

I think they removed FB post soon after, maybe Olympus Malaysia not happy with the 'fire sale' biggrin.gif

Ah, i think i remember this post & if I am not mistaken it is Oly branded shop in Mid valley. Whoever got those it is deal of the century for sure  wink.gif

My set up em5ii, 17mm and 45mm f1.8 were from those unusual deal during the mco period.
Both of your camera set up i assume is epl from your reply?

Ah got it, welp cant see any good deal for em5 Mk2 (which i think its the most value m43 at the moment as long not doing sports or super high iso photog).

About the 12-40 F2.8, i have to agreed it seems to be the better choice  than 12-45mm f4 other than the small size. I got impression more used copies of 12-40mm in the market too.

Too bad the 12-100mm will be massive on em5ii.

I kinda of not willing to spend too much $$ on m43 on pro lens considering how thing are going on at this point of time. console.gif

Maybe try get used 12-40 f2.8
It's good lens, and given that it launch many years back, should be many option in used market.

hope oly learns one or two tricks from mobile camera tech and incorporate them into their camera.
they desperately need this to survive and differentiate them from the FF/APSC. Else, they will always lose to the size does matter game.

Ya, maybe Olympus will add more AI features into their camera. Coz losing on size, while smartphone sensor getting close to 1" now.
If Olympus can do AI upscale, HDR or focusing those, maybe still got some selling point.
