+1. I've also sold my 14-42 and replaced it with a secondhand 14-45. Nicer lens both optically and physically.

Since this topic has bounced back into life, can I say I'm happy with my ThinkTank, and grateful for advice given here? Also, has anyone used the Retrospective 5 with a 100-300? I'm thinking of...

I'm in the uk, and it's a uk seller.

Thanks to all for suggestions, I think my modest current needs can be met by a Metz 24, so I'm bidding for a good used example on eBay.

Thanks, but that's probably a bit over-specified for what I need. Is anyone using Metz or Nissin or other third party solutions!

No, I realise I didn't specify a use, it's for general stuff. Are there any issues relating to using an Oly flash with a Panny camera? I realise that the chromatic aberration won't be...

Any Panasonic users willing to recommend a flash gun - Panny branded or otherwise - preferably not too large, for occasional use, to use with a G5? Thanks.

The Domkes seem rare and expensive beasts in the UK. Has any other ThinkTank Retro 5 owner had fun figuring out how the rain cover fits (unfortunately needed on my first trip out!) - seems like you...

Just bought the ThinkTank Retro 5 bag much recommended here, having had a chance to play with one in person at Morris in Chipping Norton. My current kit has gone in fine, and there's easily room...

It's running favourite at the moment. I'm hoping to try one tomorrow. A few people have said they think it's a bit heavy?

Thanks again for all the bright ideas. It's really difficult now in the UK to see all of these bags in the flesh - there aren't many decent camera shops left. And I have real ethical issues with...

Thanks for the replies so far. Quite strong support for that Lowepro bag! More ideas still welcome.

Having made the transition to M43, and owning a G5 and three lenses with perhaps a couple more to come, I'd like to choose a bag which reflects the small size of the components of the outfit. I...

Can I get us back on topic, please? I don't want to use a large SLR lens with an adapter, although the idea may well have merit. I want a purpose designed M43 lens. IS is not completely irrelevant...

Thinking about a macro for the G5; the Panny is more expensive than the Olympus and shorter in focal length. Can others who've been through this process make a recommendation? I realise that I'd be...

No, maverick, the Panny M43 cameras rely on lens stabilisers, so if that's important to you, you won't want Olympus lenses. And to the person who compares weight with a small Canon DSLR, the issue...

What a strange response! She never said there was anything wrong with the pictures from her Canon, she just doesn't like its size. But you make all sorts of assumptions about the quality of...

The very comprehensive Imaging Resource review at http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/panasonic-g5/panasonic-g5A.HTM suggests that the G5 auto-focus is better then some SLRs!

I made the change from a DSLR to a Panny G5 a few months ago. I'm really enjoying carrying around a bag with three lenses (in addition to the two kit lenses offered as a package, I've bought a 20mm...

Thanks, man. Did you buy it? The reviews at Amazon don't greatly entice me - but thanks for being the only one to answer!
