Well so far not much, but I'm sure the time will come. A faster lens is always welcome, but want the pancake so the camera is more compact for the times when I don't want to take a bag. And when my Mrs says 'what you taking that lot for' hidden in a pocket keeps the peace!How often do you find yourself at the 14mm end wishing the lens was faster in terms of light?

Yeah baby

Nice... Can you switch the main LCD off altogether and just use the EVF?
S w e e e e e t!
Is that the one from ebay (china)? Does it give the extra stop as stated?I have this mated to an RJ focal reducer, giving a sort of 50mm field of view...

What about macro, have you tried it?Yes and yes. It's great for shooting low light portraits etc. but edge sharpness is poor, so not good for landscapes.
Kinda, although playback defaults to the LCD which is annoying!

ahh annoying indeed, I have got used to using the Pana G3 EVF and not using the LCD at all and thought if the same is of the Oly then I would look at getting an EVF for my EPL-5 but probably not, although I like the idea of looking down into a VF, and of course with manual lenses its a godsend.
Do you want waterproof, fashion, leather, belt, shoulder, expensive, cheap? There's a lot to choose from. Depends on use, likes etc.Any recommendations with regards to a case for the EPL5 - something small that holds it with the 14-42 attached is all I'd need initially
I have a Crumpler Pretty Boy that would fit that description. Very well made and robust. It will shake of most showers but is not described as waterproof. It also has a belt loop that possibly would attach to your scooter handle. If you want waterproof, have alook at the smaller Lowepro bags that have AW in the title, they have a pull out cover for the bag. Something in the sliplock range would suit. All of these would be well under 30 quid.Something small and compact - not fussed on being able to hold additional lenses.. Just the camera with 14-42 attached..
I'll be using it whilst out and about on my mobility scooter so I guess something that can hang from shoulder and be at hip level.. Either that or something small and compact that can hang off the scooter handles... Budget wise preferably under £30

Spot on - thanks for that
There's a few different numbers in the Pretty Boy range - im guessing something like the 3000L should be about right?
I bought the Olympus street bag (medium) for peanuts on eBay, looks well retro! They make a small size bag too which I guess would be better suited to just one lens.
Good old GAS, eh Marcus.
Errr, me! Will I regret it?Who invited you!
I personally prefer the 40mm perspective so I went with the 20/1.7. Not that I've done any street shooting with it yet anyway
