Me as well but if I'm carrying my EM1 + possibly a £1400 lens the bit extra cost for a good strap is irrelevant.........just my thoughtsI'm a tight sod
Thanks, will check it out.I found my old BR strap massive overkill for m43 and it blocking the tripod mount became a bit of a faff (yes I know you can get connectors that don't but they are even more clunky).
I had a Peak Designs one but the dongle connector things are annoyingly big and clunky and bash about a bit, stopped using it.
The Op-Tech sling looks ok but I'd be wary of using just one strap loop, especially on an Oly camera and double especially on an EM1 which has a reputation for the strap lugs just falling off.
The strap I still have on my EM1 is a DSPTCH strap which isn't perfect but seems a good compromise and never really gets in the way.
I know. But my kit always feels safe (if you know what I mean) I have tried other straps and for me my trusty BR is the one.I found my old BR strap massive overkill for m43 and it blocking the tripod mount became a bit of a faff
What about this one on eBay item no 271910390745
Looks like it uses both lugs
Heads up, Jessops have the Olympus 12mm F2.0 online for £300
I was torn because I did not fancy silver... but ended up going with the reasoning 'It's a lens I want and was being put off by price' and bought it.Great price. Seems to be the silver on only otherwise I may have been £300 poorer

If I hate the color, I can always ebay it and not lose out!
Cheers - will check it out.@joncro i had 1 made by focus on evilbay think I paid £14 and just as good as my blackrapid 1.
Interested to hear what you think of it when it arrives.

ive got the 2.8 pro and the oly 12mm and the panny/Leica 25mm plus others further away from the mm you mention, if there are any questions i could help with?Does anybody here use a 12-40 2.8 and a 17mm 1.8? I have a 12-40 which I use a lot and cannot fault it but I do fancy having the 17mm 1.8 for travelling light but concerned that it may not get too much use.

well the 12mm is fantastic quality, i do find it needs opening a notch to get the best out of it but then again that's true of most glass. the push pull focus works very well. its a tiny little thing, about the same as the 45mm you have but the build quality is higher. image wise not a huge amount between the 12 and the pro zoom-put it this way i never think i will carry one over the other due to image quality but i do with size and weight. the combo of the three could replace the pro it depends if you prefer the convenience of the zoom over the small size of the primes. i tried the 17 but found the panny 25mm way higher image quality. tbh if you have the dosh having both sets is lovely, then carry depending on what works that day. hope that helps, anything else you want to know ask away
i enjoy using the 12mm more, no good reason really but i find the image quality out of that tiny little thing surprises me, but you sort of expect it from the pro zoom if that makes sense. i love going out with ether just the 12mm or just the 25mm it puts a huge smile on my face and makes me think more, but practically the zoom is the sensible choice. if i take the zoom i tend to leave all the others at home, its why i got it really, sometimes a one lens solution is just easier. so in a really long winded way i guess i am saying primes for the fun of picture taking and really thinking more, or the zoom on other occasions, IQ both very good.Thanks Nik. I thought I'd replied to this earlier but clearly something went wrong as it's nowhere to be seen.
My thoughts on the 12-40 are similar to when I used a 24-70 on full frame. Basically those lenses deliver everything you could ask of them superbly and are ideal for nearly any occasion but I've never once looked forward to using one or derived any excitement from using one. It's a great lens but always feels like a work horse or a tool! I liked 50mm equiv for a while but then I got a Fuji X100 and then later a 35mm Sigma art lens and those really switched me onto the 35mm focal length. Maybe I should think about the 25mm options though. There are some great lenses in that range and of course the Panasonic 20mm and now the 15mm. Wish I had the dosh to cover all the bases but unjustifiable at present. Though I do need to sell a few bits and bobs....
Out of interest and hypothetically, all practical elements aside, if you had the 12mm f/2 and 12-40 with you and wanted to take a pic at 12mm, would you bias toward either of them for any reason or is it really too close to call?
Well just picked up a GX8 for £444 minty, think that's a pretty good deal
Put a bid in not expecting to win at that bid, solved second body decision
Wanted something good to go with the em1 and at that price.........Great camera . I hope you enjoy it!

It is often said that a m4/3 cameras are too small

The other day I managed to move the focus point by turning the front and rear dial (vertical and horizontal) on my em1. But now I can't remember what I did to do it, can anyone help please?
ThanksPush the D pad controls to start selecting the focus point position then use the dial to position it.
Yes I have similar. OM-2(+ hotshoe 2) and OM-4, and chose the EM5ii instead of the bigger, EM-1. I don't think an m4/3 camera needs to be 9mm taller than a full frame one.
Was tempted by the 5 but wanted the best of panny and Olympus world's [emoji4] shouldn't need anything for some time to come. Very happy with MFT was forever changing gear but this system feels more comfortable
I still have my dad's old OM2SP I don't think he ever got to use it.It is often said that a m4/3 cameras are too small
