Don't really like the 14 much or use it much. Love the 45, but don't use it much. Thinking of selling both.

But then what??? If I'm left with the 17/2.8, 30 and 40-150 I will have the very cheapest set of m43 lenses made. Don't know if I could live with this!

But then what??? Go and take lots of pix you love!!!


Yeah, I know that... but as has been said over and over again, this is a gear forum. we are here because we like talking about gear!

I am always taking photos, in fact, I've even been told I post too many photos to this forum!

Now I post a gear topic and I have people telling me gear doesn't matter.

Sorry, Mark, I didn’t mean to sound like quite such a smart-a-s. And I didn’t make fully clear (among the typos) where I was actually coming from. I went through much the same questioning between the 14  and the f2.8 17 -- eventually selling the 17. I have to say I miss it about one photo opportunity a month, which is a photo I would miss anyway if I still had the lens because I would be too busy changing lenses to get  the picture! 

Keep posting the pix!!!

Gear does matter, I think, you have to have confidence in your gear and feel that it is right for you, but I wouldn’t call this a gear forum -- although some people would like to make it so -- this is a photography forum for people using a certain range of gear -- the m43 format. The gear is pointless without the pix.

Hey, here’s a thought. I had a fad for a little while using optical viewfinders for the 14, 17, and 45 lenses on the E-PL3. Worked quite well for the 14 and 17, but less well for the 45. Seek out an OVF for the 17 and see how you go with it. I actually found with the OVF that I used the 17 more and the 14 (with OVF) less. With the VF2 happening, I hardly used the 17!

Weird!

Cheers, geoff
