― .\ /. (dayo), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 01:13 (thirteen years ago) link
20mm package + 8gb card
― (ㅅ) (am0n), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 01:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't really know anything about the lenses :/
― (ㅅ) (am0n), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 01:18 (thirteen years ago) link
it was between that and a 14-45 lens
― (ㅅ) (am0n), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 01:19 (thirteen years ago) link
you made the right choice
― .\ /. (dayo), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 01:43 (thirteen years ago) link
one of us
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 04:33 (thirteen years ago) link
good to know but why is it better? the 14-45 is a zoom right
― (ㅅ) (am0n), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 18:40 (thirteen years ago) link
i'd been wanting one of these for awhile thx to this thread btw. can't wait
― (ㅅ) (am0n), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 18:42 (thirteen years ago) link
better glass, according to CW

faster lens (2-3 1/2 stops faster depending on what zoom length)
better image quality
― .\ /. (dayo), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:19 (thirteen years ago) link
smaller, doesnt look like your camera has a chubby
lighter
― .\ /. (dayo), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:20 (thirteen years ago) link
its pretty awesome but.. maybe i should have waited for the gh2 since its got the viewfinder and high iso capability. the viewfinder for gf1 is like $150!
― (ㅅ) (am0n), Friday, 3 December 2010 18:16 (thirteen years ago) link
the lack of a VF is the only thing that bugs me about the gf1. i keep holding out hope that they'll upgrade the EVF but i have a feeling that'll never happen
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Friday, 3 December 2010 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link
do you have the current one
― (ㅅ) (am0n), Friday, 3 December 2010 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link
nope. and have never tried it out, either, mostly because THE INTERNET says its subpar. then again, i think there's a heavy helping of camera dork perfectionist at work in the reviews i've read where dudes are all "it can't do fine manual focusing" because i use AF basically all the time. i just want it for framing and bright light situations that glare out the screen
have considered getting an optical VF (like a voigtlander or oly). they're cheaper and look hella classy
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Friday, 3 December 2010 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link
thinking about this

wait, no I'm not, it's almost a bill
― just woke up (lukas), Friday, 3 December 2010 18:31 (thirteen years ago) link
I had that 7-14mm, had a bitch of a time selling it on the used market. you can find them for like 7-800 nowadays

if you only use the VF for framing, there won't be a big diff between the GF1 EVF and the GH1 EVF. if you're always using it to check critical focus on your flower shots or w/e then yeah it might be a big deal. but yeah $150 for the GH1 EVF is kinda a big deal.
optical VFs are pretty good, I used on on my E-P1, no complaints
― .\ /. (dayo), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
errr $150 for the GF1 EVF.
― .\ /. (dayo), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:06 (thirteen years ago) link
why'd ya sell the lens?
― just woke up (lukas), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:18 (thirteen years ago) link
cause I sold my E-P1! I'm shooting film atm
― .\ /. (dayo), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:20 (thirteen years ago) link
it was a great lens. but atm I have a voigtlander 12mm which is even wider
― .\ /. (dayo), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:21 (thirteen years ago) link
but yeah $150 for the GH1 EVF is kinda a big deal.
right, esp if all i need it for is framing. i've heard the Oly optical VF mates with the 20mm lumix lens pretty perfectly, and can be had for half the price.
i won't be getting any other lenses for my lumix for a v long time (if at all, tbh), so optical is a-ok in my book

― .\ /. (dayo), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:25 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah the oly is good because it's in 4:3 ratio, I used the voigtlander 35mm metal one which was good but displayed brightlines in a 3:2 ratio, I never really cared about what I caught in the edges of my pictures though so ~shrug~

ultra wides are def specialist lenses though, I only use mine like once or twice a month
― .\ /. (dayo), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:28 (thirteen years ago) link
also have been thinking that if my gf-1 is just gonna be a lo-pro fixed lens job, i should sell it and get that fujix100
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:28 (thirteen years ago) link
how did we post at the same time O_O
yeah the fuji x 100 looks sexy, I would wait to see what reviews say

― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:29 (thirteen years ago) link
oh for sure. if the glass isn't better than the lumix, there's no point.

yeah I would also see about responsiveness, AF speed, menu interface, etc.
― .\ /. (dayo), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:31 (thirteen years ago) link
oh for sure. i'm not just gonna do it on an impulse anyway. probably can't afford it anyway!
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Saturday, 4 December 2010 01:32 (thirteen years ago) link
i sent it back for an exchange :/
― am0n, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link
why?
― caek, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
decided i was kinda in over my head. used it for a couple days but it wasn't as portable as i'd like. great camera but i don't really require the jump in quality it provides and realized i just needed an upgrade of my point-and-shoot
― am0n, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
not easy decision tho, it reminded me a lot of my first camera which was a old hand-me-down oly 35mm rangefinder
