[pinholecam]

Just bit the bullet and got one.

Very satisfied that my m4/3 kit is complete.
A must have for any m4/3 user.

Immediately tried out the lens where I could before the day grew dark.

Just got mine from Alan photo. 420 cash as well.

And I must say, very snappy on GF1. Agree that it is a must have

Tats about $410 in singapore based on xe.com.

You have to decide the extra 10-20 dollars saved is worth going to malaysia to get it.

I prefer hassle free transactions. One of the rare times that sellers are being reasonable in their pricing, it is best to encourage such behavior

Now a happy user of 45mm f1.8. Bought yesterday at AP SLS. $420 for the lens and $45 for the silver color b+w uv filter.

 

[ricleo]

anyone tried using close up filters or the olympus macro convertor, or even 3rd party macro convertors on this lens before?

I got my lense at MS Color (AMK) at $450. Looks like i got ripped off!

Is the B+W filter recommended? Or any brand one is okay? I got a cheap one for $15 also. Will it cause any quality difference?

Yes. It affects light transmission n white balance. The best is no filter.

Can keep it on during the same, remove at night when you notice the flare that way you can still have the protection

The backgrounds are nice and smooth. Can you do a 100% crop on your sharpest bird image? Curious how defined the feathers are
