MS Color limited stocks ~

That's the lens kit, right?

 

[tomcat]

Does that mean that those who buy the EM1 from MSColor can also claim the free gifts from Olympus Singapore ?

aiyah.when Best Denki having stocks...using voucher. heh

Double post.. sorry!

There are several reasons why they are letting go of the 12-40... I believe some may be due to the size and its barrel extends during zooming.. the 12-35 is indeed smaller.. some might be due to using just primes alone... I can't compare the iq but from what I see, most reviews show that it is pretty similar..

Probably the 12-40 has some advantage on the em1 due to the algorithm for oly lenses only

If people are just using primes, the EM1 is kinda overkill for those...

Just collected my em1. Its is well made and feel much more solid than em5 and gx7 but feel heavier. 12-40 can do close up shot.

It's a 0.6x (35mm format) lens which is pretty good.

That's a very good price. Most of us who pre-ordered are paying more than that for ours. Since Olympus Singapore does not check whether we pre-ordered or not when claiming the free gifts, I wonder how they stop those who bought the MS Color sets from claiming the free gifts.

You have to bring the preorder confirmation from olympus when u want to collect the free gift..

Didn't you say in the other thread that we only need to bring the warranty cards and receipts of the EM1 and the old E-system camera to collect the free gifts ?

I did mention the preorder confirmation from olympus..
Sorry if anyone attempted to get the freebies from olympus without the printout..

I did not bring the pre-order printout either... but I supposed they are able to check through NRIC?

 

[Optoms]

Anyone can enlighten me why we still need dept of field preview function on em1 when wysiwyg?

 

[widget]

For my case, my name wasn't in their pre-order list when I collected the freebies yesterday, but I did bring the email pre-order printout.
They photocopied the email printout and my NRIC.

 

[ddwmk2002]

Collected my HLD-7 and Lowepro Format 160 bag yesterday. The pre-order email only required by shop during collection.

Was able to redeem the gift from Olympus with the following : EM-5 body and warranty card, EM1 warranty card and receipt. IC.

OMG... look at the 12-40mm kit lens !
It's sharp as a razor wide opened ... just like a prime lens.
And it focuses very fast and accurate too even in low light though I suppose part of the credit must go to the EM-1. The EM-5 is quite bad under similar conditions from my experience.

These were taken at night.

1/80s f/2.8 at 36.0mm ISO 200

1/80s f/2.8 at 40.0mm ISO 200

1/80s f/2.8 at 36.0mm ISO 200
Black cats are notoriously difficult to expose properly but that did not seemed to bother the EM-1.

Really sharp. But directly from camera or you do Photoshop for quick processing?

Bro. Like your sig. "Dark knight OMD". Lol. That's what many folks are calling the EM1.

 

[Xandorous]

Hi guys,

Just got hold of the E-M1 and I like how it feels in my not-so-large hands.

But I noticed there's a sound coming out of the camera every time I turn it off. And if you hold it FIRMLY with both hands and gently shake it up and down, there's sound coming out of it too.

May I know is everyone's set the same too?

Thanks in advance.
