Re: E-PL7 First Impressions / Customizability / Random Observations

Bought a E-PL7 as a smaller camera when I didn't want to carry my D5300 + Sigma 17-50 f2.8 etc around.

Sold my Nikon and lenses and everything. Much happier with the Olympus.

I am still having trouble deciding on what primes to get.

I am about 99% set on getting the 45mm 1.8. Don't think the 75mm I will like as much. Maybe a lot further down the line. But not now.

The wider angle is where I have trouble deciding.

Panasonic has the 14mm and 15mm lenses. 14mm being small pancake, but also slower. 15mm from what have seen is a really nice lens.

Then there is also the 17mm 1.8 Olympus. I feel like I would like this lens the most. From the pictures I have looked at it does have a very unique way of producing the images. But so does the 15mm Panasonic. The 17mm 2.8 looks nice and small, but I think the 14mm Panasonic would be better than the 17mm 2.8 Olympus.

I have ruled out the 20mm Panasonic, don't want slow AF.

Then there is also the Sigma 19mm. Great price. I think for what I want it won't be wide enough. I do very much prefer a bit wider shots.
