14-42 just not worth it la, might as well take using phone

the 17mm f2.8 personally i haven't tried that one before so i don't know how good it is

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback man. Cause I have no experience whatsoever with m43's camera. Just that the size/weight/IQ ratio seems compelling. +if the price is right, was thinking no harm trying... jsut too bad no one I know has one for me to play around with... hahaha

yea quite hipster a bit m43 lol ppl either go APSC, FF or just phone nowadays

where you based at? if pg then i can show a bit

if KL then sorry liao la lol

Sabah. hahaha.


Thanks for the offer. very helpful

waaah even further than i imagined

Is it easy to find camera shop selling m43? Just wondering

I've done almost 100% of my camera GAS via online. I've not really ventured around KK Town though

There are camera shops in my area, but not at the prices that are competitive enough vs Online... especially preloved ones

M43s? hahaha.. none at my area that I know of. Almost tempted to try analog... I see quite a few shops still processing film.. but I've never tried

Yea, my friend, but from sarawak said he still can molest Olympus there, but Panasonic cannot find at all

Yeah, maybe if I'm in KK then it would be better, however....

Just regular DSLR stuff also quite difficult to acquire... thus online. Luckily almost all my purchases have been satisfactory and no hiccups.

i tot in Kch can find many shop and Miri as well.

Wah... Oledi start to poison newcomers.

Dark_Angel85 For me, the 14-42 was my starting out lens for 3 years before I started upgrading. It is an 'ok' lens that performed well in bright situations. Very versatile and compact, especially with the automatic cap. Definitely enjoyed it.

However, that being said, once I started buying lenses like 17mm f1.8, 25mm f1.7 or even 9-18mm f4, the kit lens has been sitting in my dry box since.

Coming from using kitlens in my Nikon time, I direct jump to PRO lens 12-40mm after switching to m43.

Interesting. I personally won't Diss kit lenses cause its all about price/bargain and all that

So.... What's your price? Hehehe

Hey man, thanks for sharing.

Was thinking a prime will fit my needs better simply due to compactness/personal taste. However, I'm still open for suggestions.

+most f2.8 zooms regardless of brand or system tend to be more on the heavy side. I want something more 'pocketable'

Poking around ebay doesn't really help also... The currency exchange is seriously killing us Malaysians

either 1 body + 12-40 pro lens

or 2 bodies + 2 primes

m43 12-40mm F2.8 already pretty light

Have not even venture in PRO line up yet

Last time I have 17mm f1.8, it's perfect for street. Depends on whether you're 35mm ( 17mm m43 ) or 50mm ( 25mm m43 ) guy

Agree. Sometimes I carry em5m2 + 12-40 in my sling bag.

Not selling my kit lens, prefer to keep it. Hehe.

I think I'd prefer carrying just 1 cam + 1 prime walking around, but I guess that's preference. Also, kinda hard toting camera equipment+baby bags around most of the time but that's just me.

compared to the bigger fast zoom siblings of other systems, I have to agree.

Yes, of course coming from another format, I also have my preferred focal length and I do like 35mm ish for general street/environmental portraits
