if sharp wide open every focal length and small size…ok je

My guess is that it will be smaller than the existing 12-40mm f2.8. To be fair, 380g is nowhere near the range of lightweight. Panasonic's 12-35mm f2.8 is only 300g. If they are making it weigh around 200g to 250g, there may be an actual market for it. Plus it is waterproof which is a plus.

Having said that, F4 is really meh. I won't be able to use this for indoor events shoot. So looks like it is an outdoor travel lens mostly.

If for outdoor travel only can just use 12-100 already lol

Can lar, but bulky lor. Plus, I think the 12-100mm alone would take up all the space in my small bag

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 )

Still better than 12-40 + 40-150 what

Tested em5 mk2 and mk3

Bought EM1 Mk2 silver edition with the current price cut. Fell in love with the grip, size and weight

Thanks sifus for the advise.

I'm an oly fanboy now

RM5000 with free 32 gb (300 mbs) + 32 gb (170 mbs) + 2 batteries + additional 3 months warranty. Couldn't find this price for the silver body.

The additional battery & warranty is to be claimed online upon registration.

I just pulled the trigger on the Sigma 56mm f1.4. Hope it arrives safely in the next couple of weeks.....

Sharing some of the good deals I found whilst touring on Shopee and Lazada (mostly Shopee anyway). Offer price is damn tempting!

45mm 1.8, RM 799. Good deal?

😜😜

Consider good for a new unit. But if you are going for used unit, can get around 600-700 for almost new (less than a month used) as market is kind of flooded with 45mm f1.8.

I actually bought my E-M5 Mark II from this shop almost a year ago.

My lens arrived!

The lens is hefty! Really gives a premium feel. But the size is just slightly larger than the Panasonic 25mm f1.7.




Compare the front element of the 56mm with other lens. It's huge! Clockwise from bottom left: Sigma 56mm f1.4, Olympus 17mm f1.8, Panasonic 25mm f1.7 and Olympus 45mm f1.8.





Size comparison with Olympus 45mm f1.8, portrait lens comparison.




So far am happy with it, will bring it for shooting my daughter soon.

Will report back on the ergonomics, though initial impression is that it is slightly front heavy with the E-M5 Mark II. May be it's because most of my other lenses are feather weight.

Would like to hear your feedback. I am interested to buy the siggy 56 mm. Any recommendations from sifus between this siggy or the oly 45mm pro or the pana 42.5 mm nocticron? I’m pairing it with the em1.2 body. I already have the 18, 45 non-pro and 12-40 mm pro. My 18 & 45 mm is paired with my pen-f. I am a casual shooter mainly vacation and family portraits. Thanks

If you already have the 45mm f1.8 then I don't see any reason to spend extra 4k for a little bit more of bokeh

Buy the 7-14mm f2.8 or the 35-100mm f2.8 or the 40-150mm f2.8 instead ba? Those focal lengths that you don't have yet

Great advice. My next buy will be the 7-14. Thanks.

no kena 10-25mm poison? haha

Lol I not that bad poison ppl until like that

He already got 12-40 liao ma
