[ Vanity ] Olympus EM-5 accessories thread


want to get some hoods for my m43 lenses and need some advice.

- how much is the LH-55B (for 9-18 and 12-50) in SG? and more importantly, where? haven't managed to find one
- anyone using 3rd party LH-55? saw some on ebay, but not sure if they're any good, and if one can erase the 3rd party label printing (eg. uWinka). not a big deal, but they just look/sound funny to me.
- also saw an LH-40 replacement on ebay. it's for the 14-42 II but i intend to use it for my 45mm. will this work? both are 37mm diameter. i'm interested in this because it's rectangular as compared to the original Oly LH-40B which is round. i was also thinking that getting a black hood might make the 45mm less out of place on my black E-M5. or will that look even more weird?

on a different subject: has anyone heard when Malaysia will be getting stocks of the battery grip? Oly MY was advertising a PWP promo last month, so i'm thinking they might get the grip sooner?

thanks for any leads.
 

I got my LH-55B straight from Adorama.

A colleague brought it over for me.
 

LH55-B for the 12-50mm, "Ever Ready" case and grip. Although I do not understand why the lenses come without hoods, all my 4/3 lenses had hoods and cases supplied with them.
 

I WANT BATTERY!!!! &@^$*@#&$^%*@^%$#@
 

Olympus just replied on their Facebook, the grip and flash (FL-600R) will be available May 12! Woo!
 

Okay just got a reply from Tenso.com, and they can ship batteries if you opt for UPS shipping. Just a heads up.

You mean on a personal level? For me I don't trust anything with the word "vpost" in their name thanks to my experience with vpost@usa. It's a personal thing though.

Vpost cannot ship batteries. Some customs law

Do you mean vpost cannot ship if the package contains batteries only n nothing else?

not true. i used vpost for my AR.Drone 2.0 which comes with a Lipo battery inside.
