Anyone got spare OMD EM10 batter charger that you wanna let go? Mine got misplaced and can't be found. Believe it's BCN-1.

Else wondering if there's any decent 3rd party charger I can use (saw a couple on Lazada).

Olympus store on Shopee selling for RM149

My 14-42 pancake EZ looks like got issue, it just does this dance when you turn on and shows "check status of lens". Need to turn on and off twice for it to fully retract. Consider RIP?

On the plus side, decided to finally get the 25mm prime to try and revive the camera that's severely underutilized.

Also, does anyone know where to get those usb rubber flap for my EM10 mk1? It broke off and wife accidently threw it away.

This has to do with the focus ribbon inside the lens either being loose or just outright spoiled. If you already do intend to RIP it, can try to DIY it yourself.. if you're still looking for a pancake zoom, the panasonic is a little bit better of a lens but somehow way more expensive.

Think I'm just gonna stick with the 25mm for now, something different and challenge myself sikit.

Honestly dont think wanna invest in another lens, the body also 6yrs old dy and don't plan to get a new camera since it's just for hobby. Plus Covid, not to say can go anywhere biggrin.gif

the 25mm f1.8 is a gem of a lens. Not the most versatile walkaround lens but the IQ and FOV is really wonderful.

Unfortunately the pancake zooms aren't cheaper... would much prefer if they hovered around the RM400-RM500 range. I love pocketing my camera in my pants with the pancakes. They're relatively dark and their IQ is nothing to write home about... just have to say that I love the 12-32mm panny though. Struggles obviously indoors/low light but I do appreciate the mechanical zoom and just got to work around that smaller aperture.

I highly recommend you try to fix the ribbon issue yourself IF you are indeed gonna bury your lens. I think the ribbons are quite available online for chips if it needs replacing, if you fail to fix it, well you were going to bury it anyway.... devil.gif

Ya had read about the ribbon issue, might do some DIY work once I have some time 😁. Nothing to lose as you say.

Thanks bro and be safe everyone!
