Yup, I will not have any doubts of it pairing with Olympus bodies since its their pro line but curious on performance for others.
The focus was great too even on the GH4.
I tot u are supposed to hold the lens also? That applies even especially for DSLR when paired with 70-200 f2.8. So what balance are we talking about for a fast telezoom lens on a m4/3 body?
Otherwise just use a gh4 with 35-100 f2.8.

The balance when holding the body to shoot lor, hold the lens is to support the weight, but the right hand more or less to keep it stable, like prevent it from rolling in the left hand. I feel that without a grip, still can, even on E-P5, just that it'll be harder, more tiring and unbalanced
After all, the old OM film cameras were gripless unless using a motor drive
Thank for sharing but I'm curious about the 5% drop every 3 months theory
No lah, it is just a gauge how much it will be around according to some self determined variables which can vary depending on the marketing of Olympus. No one will be stopping from the retailers to sell immediately at 85% RRP upon launch. It is only logical to believe that over time over time prices will drop unless JPY appreciates but it is highly not possible for JPY to change too much. If it is a fast moving len like 45/1.8 and competitors come out with some crazy alternative on other systems, then likely it will be 5% every 3 months. Otherwise I am seeing it to hang around 85-90% RRP within first year.
Kinda sad that SG Olympus still nothing coming to the preorder
anyway, the cheerful news is that the price is good.

They are just playing it safe. You know how things are like once someone put in money for a pre-order and if there are any changes, a storm will follow. They are only taking pre-orders (if at all) once they have concrete information from manufacturing side. I am also dying from anticipation. Itchy hands liao.
Depends on ur preference loh. The image quality of the pany lens also very good.

haaaa what you see is RM...... later Oly Sin match their price.... S$4,999..... :embrass::sweat:
lol if thats the case then we should go msia buy...
