Welcome to the family! Have you finally bought your lenses? What did you get?

Thanks, Wild Honey.

I get this:

1) EM1.2
2) 12-40mm Pro and 40-150m Pro
3) 60mm Macro
4) Viltrox Speed booster (can use all my 8 Nikkor lenses in manual peaking mode. All are well.

Enjoy using BOTH system now.

Wow. You got deep pockets. Versatile set-up there with the 12-40 and 40-150.

Which system did you come from before this?

How much did you sell your 15mm for?

I think I sold it for RM1.1k

1) Used Nikon D500 + 8 lenses for the past 3 years. Not changing, still using, when not travel.

2) When travel, it will be Oly trio + Viltrox pair Nikkor 50mm f1.8, Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 (wide angle)

Sorry, no big pocket, trying to avoid GAS, but enjoy shooting and making images, not "shooting photos", if you know what I mean.

@Wild Honey, e.g. Shot this with Viltrox/Tokina pair, Oly Dramatic Art filter I. With about 12mm wide angle, peaking, static subject, AF is not exactly crucial! (export the image with 60% JPEG quality, due to 4MB file size restriction)

well looks like you got everything covered there except maybe a portrait lens.
that being said better use the nikon for better portrait bokeh.

if i was you i leave the tokina at home and take the oly system with you.
you lose 2mm wide but save a lot of weight and space
the tokina 11-16mm is big and heavy....i should know.

I used the 60mm macro lens as portrait lens. Photo attached.

Good advice on the Tokina! Thanks

yay suddenly the thread got more contribution already hahaha

here are some from my solo walkabout last weekend:


Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 + Panasonic Leica DG 10-25mm f1.7 | 12mm | f2.8 | ISO 2000 | 1/40 sec |


Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 + Panasonic Leica DG 10-25mm f1.7 | 14mm | f2.8 | ISO 1000 | 1/250 sec |


Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 + Panasonic Leica DG 10-25mm f1.7 | 19mm | f4.0 | ISO 100 | 1/2500 sec |


Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 + Panasonic Leica DG 10-25mm f1.7 | 20mm | f2.8 | ISO 100 | 1/200 sec |

Some of the very first close up shots with the 60mm, C&C are welcome:

m43 system still easier to take out and jalan-jalan eh

yeah my S1R always inside the drybox one unless i have a portrait photoshoot lol

Nice!

1st pic maybe crop - too much distraction
2nd pic shot spot on
3rd pic out of focus there. not your fault it is difficult to shoot macro at moving insects.

i like the 1st and 2nd one a lot. the third, not so much... too much vignetting liao

tat is why i still keep my ancient m43 around.
maybe one day i will upgrade to a em5 if i can find a good deal for a used one.

very quiet nowadays at all photography threads at lyn though.

Guys. Any opinion on replacement battery on lazada. Saw some oem cheap one but can't guess the quality.

Since you have quite a bit of budget, can consider getting the Sigma 56mm f1.4. That is the lens I am eyeing for, my next lens after I get the 10-25mm. 😁 Well, you might want to consider start off loading your Nikon as the value is just going to continue to nose dive.
