Quick question, are there anyone still rocking their original 4/3 bodies & lenses?

Recently took my brother in law's E-520 out for a spin. Although the AF is bonkers (lol), the handling/feel of the body not bad le.

Wanted to see if any 4/3 lenses are available on Lazada/Shopee but only found Micro variants...

Then throw away the camera?

Sadly the AF is quite problematic at the moment. I suspect the lens might be the cause, cmiiw.

That's why I ask about availability.

Won't work right? I need m4/3 to 4/3 body, which I was told is not possible.

I picked up a PEN E-P3 today~ will be arriving next week I guess.

Might add in a 45mm f1.8 and a Pana 20mm f1.7 in the future.

Thanks~ all the videos by Robin Wong convinced me to try haha. Does he hang around here in Lowyat?

Anyway, with regards to Robin Wong....

Also the camera I got recently... the IBIS doesn't work lol. I just figured out why the IS icon is blinking. lol!

Just spoken to a gentleman called Lee from OMD World Imaging... very friendly & informative chap.

But dayum, if send camera to service and check the IBIS would take between 10-15 working days.... cannot lar haha.

Guess have to live with it lar. Still a great camera body though.

Nothing too late lar if you really are serious in photography.

Anyway the E-P3 which I picked up has the orange blinking IS icon which I checked online, is related to the stabilization module being faulty. I am still able to take photos and thanks to the light setup I guess there's no really not much worries about image shake.

I checked with the seller and it turns out all her remaining stock has the blinking orange IS icon...

Just found out that the internal capacitor in the camera no longer hold the date/time properly.

You guys think it is a good idea to just get a E-M10 Mk IV or continue using the PEN? I still plan on getting a few primes for casual street/travel photography.

E-P7 also offers 5 axis IBIS haha.

I'll get a few more lenses then see how it goes.

Not bad~

You can enquire from OMD World Imaging.... I recently called them regarding the prospect of repairing my E-P3.

They did mention about the average turnaround time for repairs/servicing = 7-14 working days.

Maybe can consider A6400 or A7c as well lar.

To me I just started on this whole m43 journey. Really liking it so far.

I picked up an E-M10 Mk II from a seller today. Looking forward to using it over the weekend.

A lot of good deals, really cheaper than my main system.

If only Nikon's prices are the same as Oly.

Yeap. Also been watching Rob Trek's videos on how to use the camera.

In addition, I also took note of Robin Wong's OMD cheat sheet. Already adjusted the settings.

Btw I have a few questions.

1. Shading Comp = useful?

2. High Frame Rate = Any issues you experienced so far?

EVF's decent. I still prefer OVF though haha.

Yeap lol. I also turned on the anti shock 0 sec option. Doesn't seem to impact any photo taking so far.

Yeah some ppl at DPR did mention about it so why not just turn it on.
