Just a funny story to share with you guys... I showed my gf some pictures of the E-P1 cos I thought it was a good looking camera with a lot of potential (will personally wait till the end of the year for the supposedly higher spec version or the rumored penny with EVF). It turned out to be a HUGE mistake:bigeyes:! Now she is totally in love with the white ceramic E-P1 with the matching half case and she keeps bugging me to buy it for her!

Just a word of caution to everyone, don't anyhow show this camera to your wife/gf/partner cos they will all think its a prettiest thing they've ever seen even though they know nuts about photography. They won't care for the specs or the lens, they will want it cos it's pretty to look at. groan...:dunno:

haha,i have no gf,so a bit lucky,but i feel so lonely and :bheart: :bsmilie:

Hi guys, a question. Are Panasonic lens the only alternate ones that can be used with the Pen E? What about Sigma's? Heh heh f1.4 here I come...

My LX3 is a goner once I can determine how flexible I can be with lenses

The answer to your question is :
Everything m43, and everything Four Thirds.
This is what makes Four Thirds an amazing platform.

Poisoner!!

I never had the OM setup but intend to start building an M-mount series with the E-P1.

I like this definition.... but I think my wife spends more money on her shoes and bags than I do with lenses and camera bags ;p

 

[microcosm]

Should be in the region of $250 thereabouts... similar price to the 25mm pancake. I can be wrong. This is only a "guesstimation".
