Lumix G 20mm f1.7 OR 14mm f2.5

[trevorise]

Hmm I ordered the 20mm and a Mountainsmith Kit Cube camera insert (USD28). Total SGD513 inclusive of delivery.
If just lens itself, USD315 for the lens and USD43 for the shipping totaling about SGD480. I think still pretty worth it to order from B & H. But thats just me la.

No worries !! Good choice. I'm loving the 20mm. Using it most of the time now!

somehow Im not getting good results from my 20mm - lots of blurry pictures. Im wondering is it because Im too near? How do I set the camera so it wont take a picture unless its focused?

im also very excited about the rumored 12-50mm f2.5. they say it will be big! and expensive but then again all m4/3s lenses are expensive imho especially panasonic's

The minimum distance for the 20mm is 20cm.. :dunno:

Wow. So far my experience with B&H has been good. Usually 5 days shipping. Hmm I considered buying my 20mm but I got it at Msc for sgd 540. I calculated that @ usd 315 + 7%gst + usd 43 shipping is approx sgd 500. And I get local warranty. Didn't think it made sense to buy this from the US.

Olympus warranty is international even if u buy online.

You gotta post pictures to see what's the problem with your blury pictures, could be lack of contrast cannot focus, could be too close, heck, could even be shake

They're expensive because of their size, but well, they could be more expensive IMO, someone once told me the Zuiko lenses are expensive, but thinking about the quality, the weight,the size, its actually quite cheap or cheaper at least

Yep.. But not Panasonic.. he's buying the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7.. only USA warranty..
