Hi, I interested to join EP5 family but had miss the recent sitex promo.
1. Any suggestions to go for BnS or
2. which shop should I go to get good deal?

Set-up:
Is getting only the ep5 body and 14-35/40mm good enough to start? Not sure the bundle deal serve any purpose?

hi, U r making a good choice here ;)

1. B n S does have some good deals for EP5 sets. Look for the ones with warranty and do a comparison with market prices so that u've peace of mind.
2. eh... shops a lot to recommend leh, all of us have our own 'best friend' shops.

anyway, be glad u didn't buy it at Sitex haha. The street prices are better with the same package.

Your setup qn, maybe u can clarify the lens again? I don't know of any 14-35/40 lens in MFT :)
 

Thank u so much for the assurance. For shops, can anyone here recommend a few? Is the shop john 3:16 reliable?

Sometimes, it makes me wonder why i took the silver set instead of the black..
 

I can always let u have my set for a reasonable price ;)

And then i have to start a thread selling my silver ep5... :bsmilie:

But then if really want, can just sell and buy again..

Yup, u would be surprised to know how I've been lowballed. Epic haha.

At current prices, the EP5 is at a price point where u can just buy to try and sell later.
 

Hi,

If using 12-40mm f2.8 on EP5, how much distance will the teleconverter function convert to?

I'm aiming for one gd len as an all rounder (i.e macro, landscape, portrait and zoom)

Need guidance and advice here. Thanks alot.

Using the x2 teleconverter , u get 160mm equivalent. :)

Hello,

I m i India for a few weeks attending family weddings and using the E-P5 has been an absolute pleasure here.
I take photos of the festivities and family members and immediately transfer the JPEGs to my phone for sharing on the family whatsapp group. What a hit this has been with everyone!
Firstly the quality of jpegs is so much better than phone camera transfers. Now everyone wants to have a picture taken and everyone wants to know about the little Oly Pen!

Surprisingly, out of the 5 cameras that the wedding guests are using 3 are Olympus! My Pen, an E-m5 and an E-M1! Yup in india!

Hope loads more people will buy these little gems to support Oly and m43.

Oh and the videos are so good with the stabilization!

Enjoy
Akkers
