Just got mine the other day and added the 45 and 25 Panny. Took some pics of my daughters for the High School Homecoming. So much better than the EP3 and I think I am finally here to stay with the M4/3 format...

Thanks Vivek - sorry, no rat snaps (next time maybe!)Very nice, Jono! :thumbs:
(Any pictures of the 2 foot rat?)
My feelings exactlyI really like the OMD. Kind of the best travel camera I had so far.
Isn't the focusing terribly slow (I have one of these, sitting on the shelf on my lovely old E1 - the only camera I've never sold).I use mainly the 43 zoom 14-54mm.
I've got the 12 -35, and truth be told I'm more interested in the wider 24 than the longer 108 . . . . . but I can't love the lens I must say, it seems to me to be neither one thing nor the other. . . . . I've just taken a series of shots with the Leica 75 'cron - now THAT makes the sensor shine.>Isn't the focusing terribly slow
Yes, quite slow but it is fine for our work. I still hope that Olympus makes this a native m43 zoom. The Pana 12-35mm is too expensive and also too limited in range. This is about ideal. But the E-M5 is very nice I say.
So what are your issues with the 12-35?but I can't love the lens I must say, it seems to me to be neither one thing nor the other
Hi JimSo what are your issues with the 12-35?
Jim
Indeed. Although perhaps this is just my personal issue. I spend lots of time using leica lenses on a full frame sensor. I'm more than happy with the small compromise that using the Zuiko zooms entails. There isn't so much compromise with the primes anyway. But this is an expensive lens, and I'd like to love it (but I don't)!>Well, I think that I expected some sparkle
At this price this is not asked too much I think.
Hi Jim
Well, I think thati I expected some sparkle (which the 14-54 certainly has). But I don't see any. The humble 45 f1.8 has sparkle. Even the Panasonic 20 pancake. I was hoping it would stir my creative juices like the lovely old 4/3 12-60. But it doesn't. There is nothing obviously wrong with it, but I find myself using the obviously flawed ( but much more ambitious ) 12-50 kit lens more often.
So. Would you like to buy it from me!:facesmack:
