I did exactly that just over a year ago when I got the EM5, no regrets at all. John

Hello Brian - I recently paid £375 for a Mk 1 version 75-300, ebay. I hear what you say about it (ebay) and dislike it, but I use it with huge caution. Some M 4/3 go for frankly daft money on ebay...

LCE were dotted around the country last I knew - but I could be out of date, certainly were in Bristol and Taunton, also Ffordes always did 2nd hand kit, last I knew they were in Scotland, but...

It was really nice wandering into The Mall just outside Bristol yesterday to see the new sleeker version of Jessops had opened - almost in its old position. They had lost their way for sure before...

I have long been a fan of the Sigma and had copies in Canon, Nikon, and Sony fit. I often read of sample variation but did not pay much attention until my own (subjective) experience, my Nikon Copy...

yes - inside slingshot (slung round) bag whenever possibleJohn

Film 35mm plus 6x4.5 and 6x7, DSLR APC and FF, now M4/3 onlyJohn

Quite a bit of that could almost be me - nicely put, one year on for me too, except I did let my FF Dslr and lenses go - Nikon had been my main brand but last was Sony. I do like my OMD EM5 a lot...

Posted off my OMD Em5 last week for 'The Crack' to be sorted on the LCD, I also asked if they would update the firmware - they duly did so and also tidied up the rubber eyecup where I had a few...

A 12 would not float my boat - but a 6-12 (as in FF 12-24 and APC 8-16 - had both) certainly would despite having 7-14. A 300 prime would not go amiss either.John

If I had taken those I would be like a dog with 2 tails, much better than my efforts 15 years ago in NZ with a Bronica MF. Spine tingling experience too. J

For the price, size and weight I would not be without it  despite having 7-14. BTW the exchange here between Anders and Tedolph one of the most amusing I have seen whilst 'popping in' dpreview over...



Dear AllFWIW there are some examples of the landscape abilities of these lenses - albeit with the 8mm APS version - so possible slight variation - on http://www.focusonnewfoundland.com/I fell in...

Sally - I got a couple of clear plastic film type ones in a pack from Amazon UK for just a few quid, can't remember name, but one was exact fit for OMD - other trimmed a bit for iphone. Been on...

Andrew - I see you are in the UK.  I got my 7-14 for just over £500 here used, there was an internet seller with good reviews selling them new for mid £600's in Scotland not too long ago. I often...

Hello Marco - FWIW I used LX3 as my 'briefcase camera' since they arrived, at a push a coat pocket, but not ideal - for when not humping DSLR gear around. LX series pretty good I think. But after...

All downsized for posting.John
