I'm about to make a pretty expensive purchase


Well it make it better if I close my eyes before I click confirm?

What I did was ask the missus six times before I clicked - then if something went wrong, I was going to blame her.

Thing is I would do that, but then she'd see the purchase price is roughly double what I told her

It's done....now the wait...

Ahh, I can see how that might lead to castration.

New lens, or body?

Neither!

Hi,

I picked up an Olympus E-PL5 today as I've been after my first real camera and this seemed to be a good option for me to learn with plus I liked the more compact size.

Can anyone recommend a bag for me have a look at please? Currently I just have the kit lense but I'm going to get the Lumix G 20mm in August too so something to fit two lenses would be ideal.

I've ordered some screen protectors, anything else I could do with getting?

Can anyone recommend some reading material for a beginner regarding different settings?

Thanks!

try this site tells you everything you need to know the scp is a good feature to understand ,makes setting changes easier ,ive sold my epl-5 now but a good camera and when paired with the vf-4 its a winning combo ,i seem to prefer the panasonic layout better .

Gh4 14-140mm 96fps ,Goodwood Festival of speed, kind of glad i went on a thursday ,but the event was exhibitors day so a bit quiet ,
got to see the one:1 ,and a lot of walking felt sorry for the bloke who carried his canon dslr and 3ft telephoto up the mile long trek hill climb to find out there were no time trials ,
next event will be goodwood revival hope to see more racing?

Sorry for abandoning this thread, been through two house moves in the last month and now stuck in decorating purgatory.

Spotted a pair of fairly spectacular lunar hornet moths this morning though. The 12-50 does surprisingly well in macro mode for the odd record shot like this I think -

 

[paul10]

They look nasty

Well heres a teaser...

Mainly because the rest hasn't arrived yet - although it's due to arrive this week!

And to give an idea on that price, that small well machined piece of alloy cost £25 on it's own

 

[daelo]

I'm going to keep guessing!

Is it a mount? Does it work with your underwater case, perhaps a mount for a flash for underwater?

Also, here's a teaser from me!

You bought a really bulky writing device?
