May just have to take advantage of the Olympus cash back and go for the 17mm f1.8.

Would the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 II be a good first prime? I realise the auto focus is a bit slow compared to the Olympus 17/25 f1.8, I need the lens for low light. The 17mm f1.8 is £275 with cash back, whilst the 20mm f1.7 II can be had for £190 new (split from kit). Or is the 17mm f1.8 worth...

Been in contact with SRS, they are going to replace it.

Funny enough I was thinking of trying a bit of street photography, trying to capture the Christmas spirit on the streets. Tried mounting the 14-42 EZ last night, extremely stiff compared to the 40-150mm, going to get it replaced as I have never known a lens so difficult to mount.

Just made the switch from a Pentax K-r to an Olympus E-M10 Mark II with the 14-42 & 40-150mm lens, mounting the 40-150mm is fine, but the 14-42 is extremely stiff, a lot of effort is required to mount the lens. Have I got a faulty lens? Many thanks

I am leaning towards the 17mm f1.8, even though the 25mm is sharper, cheaper and comes with a hood.

Well it's done, Santa is bringing me an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II, just got to decide on either the Olympus 17mm f1.8 or the 25mm f1.8.

Thanks again for the posts. Well I have sold my K-r etc, so I am looking for a Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II with 14-42mm and the 40-150mm.

Thanks again for your posts. I definitely need to to put the fun back into my photography and I think the smaller system is the way to go.

Thanks for the posts. I do have a Tamron 18-250mm for extra reach in the bag. I tend to shoot most things apart from sport. I think that the EM10-II twin lens kit may do to start, then a the 17mm 1.8 or the 25mm 1.8 at a later date. But then there's the X-T10 with the better kit...

I currently have a Pentax K-r and a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC Macro, but over the last year it's stayed in my bag. On occasions I have picked it up and thought, too big and heavy and left it at home. So in an attempt to get my photography mojo back, I am considering selling up and getting...

Another Vote for the Fuji XF1, only £129.99 in Currys. Excellent camera.

The Lowepro bag finder may help. Cheers

Purchase one today, the image quality is good, but i am having a slight problem with the build quality. Has anyone had a problem with the battery door? The one I have seems to lock in position OK, but if you touch the door it appear to come away from one of the locking lugs, leaving it slightly...

Thanks again for the input, looks like it's going to be the Sony RX100. Thanks again Happy Christmas to you all Pete
