I was thinking along that line too

I have no idea if that is still available but I grab it anyway

Yup that's what I got too, just the order page detailing the item, price and receivers address, even in their order confirmation email it wasn't mentioned. Well I guess that's added bonus if those filters are included in the final package. Kind of hoping here

But GX8 not in the list of compatible bodies wor

I thought so too but gx8 isn't in the stated list of compatible bodies.


Hopefully this tt350o has been improved. I agree though that a GN36 rating is a little weak but for general everyday shooting it should be sufficient. Maybe you should keep that tt560

Have to study the specs of the listed compatible bodies against gx8's to see if that's the case

The mFT Sigma 60mm f2.8 art lens is a very sharp lens. Not expensive, I got it for less than rm700 about 1.5years ago.

In my short stint with the lens I found it easy to use. AF isn't particularly fast. But some shots from this lens are quite sharp, very nice bokeh too if your close enough. Very nice for half body shots. Don't forget its a 120mm on m4/3 bodies making it a short telephoto. The only thing I don't like is the main body, the large smooth part made of aluminium that scratches like crazy. I sold it off later not because of this but due to not using the lens enough to justify keeping it. I suggest if you intend to buy this lens, which I recommend, try find a way to make a mod to protect the large smooth aluminium surface.

Guys, you must see this: bigpixel

Amazing technology! Imagine if you have a handheld version

I don't know if I am correct or not, but the website says 24.9 billion pixel photo!

I had problem with an olympus 14-42 II lens some 3 years ago not fungus anyway but a broken cable, i sent it in to Olympus Malaysia and they fixed it. No charge since it's still under warranty. I am sure their technicians should be able to handle fungus as well.

Obviously the gig is movable but I can't find its image anywhere in the website

This is interesting, opening up doors to some amazing lenses: Canon EF to mFT Electronic Adapters

My latest mods/new accessories:


A bigger eyecup:-




Modding a super cheap DVR cam hood with the same 46mm filter thread for the Oly 12/2.0, instead of the much expensive one from olympus:-





Modding a piece of foam to act as windbreaker for the sound recording port (have yet to test this out in the real world situation and if this doesn't work as hoped I will try mod a deadcat

It does seems so from the photo but it isn't any bigger than the original metallic olympus hood and I can still make it smaller in fact, but it looks a kind of cool Or alternatively find a smaller inconspicuous hood

Agreed, the JJC version is 1/3 the price of the Olympus version but still not cheap at +/-us$30. The hood I got from taobao is so cheap i didn't bother to remember he he

Whoa congrats

Must get me one of these 1.4s one day

Thinking about the summilux 25/1.4 Had an old MF Canon FD 50/f1.4 to play with some years back and really liked the result.

The video king of all m4/3 - GH5

Check it out here: GH5

I am thinking of letting go my 15/1.7. PM me if your interested.

That happened to my EM5 too, at the time I had it. Simple fix, i just take off the cap and remember the position, put a small drop of super glue and put the cap back. Press it for a few moments and it's done! Try it at your own risk though he he

Wah cantik oo the 25/1.4 me drooling still Can't find a good deal on a used one

+1 here. Been using both Oly and Pana lenses since 2009 and it seems the Pana has better built quality and more durable and they don't get broken in my own experience. However, Oly better quality lenses like the pro lines have much better built quality.

The suggested Oly 12-40 or Pana 12-35 is a good starting choice if you are not into any particular category of shoots. They will be be good as a walk-around or general purpose lens. If you want better coverage you can consider those 14-140 or similar units.


Looks good to me.
