Panasonic G1 45-200mm

Terry,Haha Cindy - sounds like you are getting closer to paring back your gear
This was going to be my test. The G1 came through with flying colors.
I had the E-P1 on a Y-strap with the 50 f/2 on it, too. It was just too bright (parade started at noon). I used it for about 20 shots. If Oly comes out with the next incarnation of the E-P1 with an EVF, I will be all over it. I also had some trouble with settings getting changed (all of a sudden I was shooting with the 2 second timer on???). Those are issues that experience with the E-P1 should iron out. I'm just not familiar enough to recover quickly.
You are not alone Cindy - the 2 second timer thing drove me mad yesterday.
Also, I can't do critical hand-held focus as well with the EP-1 as with the G1 - I've posted about that in another thread.

HEY!!!! Pipe down on the 2 cameras LOL. My pocketbook won't handle another right now. I'm saving what I have/had set aside for another body to see what comes this Fall--as well as lenses.Yeah, it does seem that way!

I know, I know. I am VERY curious to see what Panasonic has in store for us. If the "dream" camera - the cg1 images are really reality....my bag is going to shift yet again. I do like using the E-P1 but I was constantly trying to bring it to eye level in Iceland.

You mind if I skip one camera before I buy a new one?
The EP-1 is one step too late for me as I am still happy with the G1.
There are appearing fingernail scratches on my G-1's camerabody grip, so I definitely need a new one in the near future
Another problem is I don't use my E-3 for some time now.
TEBnewyork what dreamcamera you know more about?
I am dreaming about a slightly smaller, more rangefinder looking camera with a tiltable LCD, (improved) EVF, some more megapixels and an one tip aproachable 20x focus magnification.
Is that too much too ask? :angel:

Tell me about it. I wore the paint off of the buttons on my black G1. I just sent it off to be converted to an IR body. I got a new G1. I fashioned a button cover to protect the buttons this time. It is working well so far.You mind if I skip one camera before I buy a new one?

My E-3 went bye, bye after the G1 showed up.

What is an IR body?
Forgot to mention that the 2 buttons for focus magnification are almost completly black also. That means I can't sell this camera anymore
You are so brave by just saying bey bey to your E-3 . You never take pictures in the rain?
I am mentally still not ready. I have to become more rational :lecture:
Thanks for that; it is may be ready for sale.

I am having my black G1 converted to a dedicated IR (Infrared photography) camera. It was calibrated to use the kit lens, but I'm hoping some of my other lenses will work, too. I'll post some pics when I get it back.Tell me about it. I wore the paint off of the buttons on my black G1. I just sent it off to be converted to an IR body. I got a new G1.

I just wasn't using the E3 enough. I put a little raincoat:ROTFL: on my gear if I go out into the rain.

Never got into IR photography. Are you into spionage
Does it mean you can't use the camera normal wise anymore?
Well, it shows I don't know anything about this. here is a picture.
Shot with the 45-200 because it happened to be on the camera.

I am going to convert a G1 to do UV and IR. From my experience with the NMOS sensor (E-410), I would expect significant increase in details (the glass is just too thick on these) and significantly lower noise due to enormous sensitivity in the UV and IR regions (way better than a CCD sensor which is several times better than a CMOS sensor).
It will be interesting to see Cindy's results. Where are you getting yours converted Cindy? What kind of a filter they would be using?

Maybe the Japanese government could fund a "Cash for Clunkers" program for cameras...

My conversion is being done here: http://www.precisioncamera.com/infrared-conversion-services.html
I am having the 665nm option. I sent in the kit lens to be calibrated with the G1. I haven't received it back yet, but they told me that it worked out well (it was their first G1 conversion.)

My first picture to this forum.
I've had my G1 less than a week, and love it. This was taken with the kit 45 - 200mm lens on Tuesday.
