[ Rumor and kopitiam ] Olympus E-5 Speculation

[albertri]

4/3 is dead liao. I posted my 12-60 for sale so many months cannot sell

its not there's no one wants to buy 12-60 it's just the lens is very expenssive (not saying you selling high) even bnew this lens is like I can buy 14-54 + 9-18mm lols

 

[theITguy]

Wait till after the E5 comes out...

1 more week?

 

[nightpiper]

Well, saw someone sold his 14-35mm for $1850, so far already from original price, and seller said people still wrote to him saying price too high ...

WoW!! Serious!!?? Next time if u see anyone selling the ZD14-35 F2 at S$1.8k let me know, i grab & i'll frame it up. Its a legend!! *Tiny sticker saying: Break glass in case of emergency" HAHAHAHA!!*

 

[Sispecho]

Perhaps 43 users are poor ppl like me?? thats y the 14-35 is like the fantasy girl that no one gets to make his wife. Ok.... poor example there...I rather buy a lens first before e-5. Then wait for users to complain about e-5 being slow fps, no pop up flash, not stylo enough or some bullshit like that before i get it second hand.

Well, just watch the classified ads, if you are serious of course. Or post a WTB ad like some folks there. Must let your fingers do the walking and you'll find it :bsmilie:.

Not really... Olympus built good photographic systems, just lacking in the bells and whistles. Those who complain usually are... well... shall not go into that. Folks would buy "great cameras" and then pair them with Sigmas speaks a lot about their passion in photography.

Hope you find that second hand E5 in 2010. Just in time to shoot the end of the world. :bsmilie:

Yes, they want to look professional but won't (or can't) put the right kind of money into it. Have to buy that white lens, but cannot afford it. :bsmilie:

*lols* I do always complains I guess I'm one of them hahaha....

Sadly I'm no pro nor rich enough to even afford expenssive toys, this is one reason I was in Oly in the 1st place.... But like other bro and sis here who shoot for fun we will always be dreaming of having those lens in our bag... a lot of us here not so well off and doesnt earn from photography and thus spending too much to camera will require not only think twice but more before we purchase

sigh sadly below are my wishlist

12-60
9-18
50-200

I think I can only afford 9-18 (bnew) and maybe 12-60 2nd hand, 50-200 I'll wait to meet bro microcosm and steal his lens :bsmilie: :think:

The next thing you know, your head is covered and then you K.O, wake up everything gone :bsmilie: I can't wait for the boss man to come back

As mentioned by other fellow user, not that no one wants it, but more of current users cannot afford it.

I had it on my dreamlist, until I tested the weight of it at August's kopi session. :bheart:

This is the only lens that I called heavy due to the size, for such a small lens,its heavy,at least,by my judgement :bsmilie:

Why the 12-60mm instead of the 14-54mm? The 12-60mm obviously has the fastest focusing ZD lens advantage but the 14-54mm doesn't have the distortion the 12-60mm has, it's less expensive, and the Mk II is made for CDAF.

I think if I had to live with one lens, it would be that 50-200mm. It's almost always the first I use unless I really need a wider angle. That 50mm at f/2.8 is excellent in a zoom.

you know lah bro I have the 14-54 not saying it's not good I love it... its human nature I guess to get the next best thing lols.... I did tried 12-60 during the Aug session and find it good a little bit wider and longer tad bit ocompare to 14-54 oh btw I am using 14-54mk1 lols

yeah I wanted to upgrade my 40-150 with 50-200 and get a UWA (9-18) also lols argh to many poison around

That seems to be the 150mm, I don't personally like the 150mm and the 14-35mm though I can carry it with ease

I am selling 12-60!! Come steal my one?

 

[napalmdog]

the 12-60mm is really best fit for e-3 or e-30. heavy but its balanced on the cam. any smaller body will seem heavier because of the imbalance

I carried the twin bazookas to the zoo in an outing last year :bsmilie:,along with my own gear!
