I didn't have the time to do a real test simply becoz I didn't have the right lens to do it, the 12-32 I have does gives a lower shutter speed and better iso control but that's about it however, it would be interesting to see if how it performs on a real bazooka like the 100-400 (incubus_skj: maybe he can test this out for us?) I am really interested to find out if 100-400 is coupled with the gx8.

As from Youtube videos, the combo is truly amazing, see the video here:

gx8 + 100-400

ok this weekend i try and report back

okay so here's the test shots i've done with the 100-400 on my new G85 body.



The Dual IS of this combo was quite useful, as the pics were taken at handheld.

To show you the distance of the pics, here's the full view of where i'm shooting from (shot with my phone):-





and here's a couple of night shots from the same spot:-

bonus!!

here are the 100% crops of the pics:-

Wow, sharp! The best part is the use of ISO, back then I can barely go through ISO 2000, the noise would be obvious already. Nice share!

That lens sure is poison, so desirable but not within my budget hahaha


Guys, what's the best price one could get for a 12-60mm lens in Malaysia?

And has anyone spotted a Samyang Rokinon 7.5mm lens here?

I'm interested to buy both these lenses.

Do let me know, thanks

Just bought the samyang 7.5mm from Altech camera Berjaya Times Square last week for rm580. Found their ads in mudah and carousell.

Brand new!? Wow, that's really affordable!

EDIT : Found out that you bought a used one, still good buy! The market price is around 1k.

If anyone got good tips on where to buy these lenses, let me know ya

Did some photoshoot with my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier smartwatch. Click to visit my blog for more photos.

Dang! The 100-400 lens on the g85 is awesome combo! At iso 6400 still usable, nice! I must save up some money for the lens. Thanks for sharing bro!

Something like this?

gstrapinuse also a LYN member haha

Incubus, what sort of tripod do you use for the G85 anyway?

Is there any good mobile and not too heavy tripod for a G85? This G85 is double the weight of my GX1, just realised that, haha!

thanks for the recommendation!

looks solid good, might consider this.

anyway just need an input whether camera grips are essential for you guys, appreciate inputs

Camera grips are personal coz if you have a large hand, holding a small m4/3 camera isn't easy. I had a camera grip on my em5 coz the original grip is way too small for a comfortable and steady grip but coming to gx8, the grip is large enough so a grip accessory isn't necessary. But of course putting on a camera grip sometimes make the camera look very cool I say why not

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 had this brand tripod also, solid product survive falls and dirty water

JB camera was good brand, had one for my EM5

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 @_@
