Photography noob here. Just wondering if all experts have any recommendations for cheap wide angle lens for Olympus EPL7? Below RM500 can get a used wide angle lens?
*
can't mang. wide angle lens cost alot. 12mm cost 2k. pana 12-35 also 2k++ iinm
but Olympus 9mm f/8 Fisheye Body Cap definitely in your budget sweat.gif
live with 14mm f2.8 pana for "wider" shot laugh.gif

ringgit sucks. laugh.gif

that day go jalan jalan at mid valley, tried the pen-f, fuh…nice and quiet shutter sound. nice but quality…but also because that reason, damn heavy.

epl-8 exactly the same with e-pl7, just the look different. but in my opinion, e-pl7 morr handsome than the ugly e-pl8 tongue.gif
*
agree, epl-7 is better looking than epl8. its like taking a step back. and honestly, they can skip the epl8 for a year as there's not much different/improvement over epl7 laugh.gif

what's the market price for 12-40 pro?

i can't handle anything more than 12mm (24mm equiv.)...too wide.
*
would love to get one just for Ultra wide landscape and fun of it. 12mm out of budget for me - be it 12-40 / 12-32 or oly 12mm.
since its just around RM600, not bad for a beginner biggrin.gif

what really nice of this lens is - everything is quite sharp / in focus.

You hand-held the shots is it? Really quite sharp this Rokinon 7.5mm. Love the greens wub.gif 

A bit too wide for me too sweat.gif

I think 9mm (after converting the 12-32 with a wide-angle converter) is the widest for me at the moment, can't accept the distortion at the background sometimes, but this can be easily corrected in pp.
*
yeah. hand held. gotta crop off the corner and straighten it in PP/LR biggrin.gif
why la lens price won't drop like body pricing tongue.gif

Hi guys, I have an old Panasonic GF3 with standard H-H014 lens. Any recommendation on which lens I can upgrade in order to have better photo quality for normal travel shooting with family?

The camera was bought long time ago but seldom used. Thinking if to upgrade lens to further its usage.

Thanks guys!
*
one time off - oly 12-40mm or pana 12-35mm f2.8. i think either lens is a very good one-off investment.
bleed one time and its enough for a very long long time.

at Puchong or at Taiping? If at Taiping, opposite this rest. got a small temple right? the rest beside the temple "Ta Chao / Big Wok" is a much better choice for tastier food @ VFM thumbsup.gif

What different btw standard version and lightweight version ?

Standard - 200g vs 150g lightweight (also specifically for drone). i say go for the lightweight version as it only add <$20.

I go for the lightweight version too, but the pricing seems a bit funny, lightweight doesn't mean cheaper shakehead.gif a better material is used perhaps?

more works require to take out the parts that is not crucial tongue.gif
mostly i think replace with lighter but sturdy material.
