Bro its plastic.

Btw, is the hood made of metal?

nope plastic. In all, I'm just thankful that with the 12-40/2.8, Oly has started to 'wake-up' and providing hoods for its lenses like Panasonic.

Thanks again bro for the extra effort in even showing me the pic. Very clear to me now.

Welcome.

Reverse fit ah... Yes u can though to me it really looks funny - like a mushroom haha.

Doesn't really work for me as I do a lot of MF so I need the focusing ring unobstructed.

Thanks bro! The 25mm is a really sharp lens! Didn't regret the purchase one bit. My dream camera now is the EM1 but still abit expensive.

Very nice pics!! May I ask what camera you used to shoot these photos? Did you use any flash?

Im seeing the samples and suddenly it looks like I need the 25 f1.8. Esp the aquarium pictures!!

Thanks bro, all taken with the EM10. For these photos, no flash was used. The EM10 + 25mm is a very worthwhile combo.:thumbsup:

I have not used a 50mm equivalent lens since my Nikon days 6-7 years ago, much more used to 35mm focal length. I am very surprised how well this lens worked at the Sea Aquarium. And yes bro, I think this lens is a must buy!

So far everyone whom I've passed the lens to try has been poisoned. And at this price point , how to say no.

[maldito]

Im also waiting for silver color. Btw how many here prefer the silver over black color?

 

[Kuniyomiyo]

I prefer the black lens on my silver em10 actually.. Tried putting the silver pancake on but not as sleek and sexy as the black..

 

[KonTrol]

Does the color of the lens make such a big difference?

Ya! With black it looks more sleek and elegant while with silver more outstanding and retro..
Picture a lady wearing black dress and another wearing silver shiny dress..
