And to make the deal sweeter... pumping up during office hours!

Ok, you did NOT see me type that... :bsmilie:

Thanks for those who turned up tonight. It was a great time again and I am so happy to see the regular faces supporting the kopi sessions. People are still pretty shy and not opening up and asking questions (or maybe the SUs are talking a little too much, so shut us up the next time ok?) but I hope this changes over time when we are more familiar with each other.

There will be another gathering, but this time, it will be an organised shoot to document National Stadium and Seletar Airport. So watch out for this! It will be coming soon! It will be thrilling to see all the 4/3 cameras in action... Sigmas and Pannys and Olys going round! What fun!

Thank you once again, and thanks to f-stop cafe for their support and I am sure we will hold a small exhibition/gallery over there to showcase some of the works of the very talented shooters in here.

All details are being worked out and I hope to see more people in the future gatherings.

Good night all...

Topics covered tonight :

• Basic questions on some camera settings.
• Chancy selling his "ko-yoke" again by whipping out the E-410 and all attention went to the tiny gem of a camera. Very well built. And improvements over the E-400. (Will discuss in a separate thread, if any). Production models will be on sale soon!! Wow!!
• Usual swapping of lenses and try try...
• Discussions about the bad service from Oly (this is a constant topic now among Olympus users).
• Discussion on BLL-1 MO.

Special thanks to Chancy for once again, bringing more info from mytikas. Appreciate the support and sharing from them. Olympus is really lucky for your level of involvement and support. I think we should get someone from Sigma and Panasonic over the next time! Maybe Leica too... we will plan this for future kopi sessions!

Oh, and the food at f-stop is pretty good... we had a couple of chocolate milk shakes! Yummy!

It was really a nice experience seeing all my fellow 4/3 users, thanks guys for letting us use your lenses, but holding your lenses makes me want to sell my arm or legs just to get one heheheheh:bsmilie: hope to join again in the next meeting.

 

[stevepow]

Just reach home and surfing in and sorry for leaving earlier.
Nice meeting you 4/3 guys and gal at f-stop
Will encourage for more regular meet-ups for exchange of info, opinions and up-date for the us fellow forum members of the 4/3 community.

 

[vendeta]

yep me too sorry for leaving early, I'm looking forward to the next meeting.

 

[microcosm]

No worry guys... now you know what goes on at these kopi sessions, next time try to allocate more time for these sessions! There will be more, definitely.

Remember to take the poll on "styles of photography"... so that I can use this as a gauge to plan future gatherings. Cheers.

Some photos to share from today's meeting. Faces pixel out as "models did not sign release rights". :sweat:

The gathering of the people in a really nice environment.

Small camera, big lens.

"Model" with camera. Handling was surprisingly good.
