Argh I received a new GF6 just an hour ago, having been weighing up what to go for for days! Sods law :/

The GF line just got a revamp -

GF7 looks much more appealing than previous versions but I'm not sure how it stacks up against the GM1 to be honest. Launch price will be £429 with the 12-32, which is the exact same price as the GM1 with 12-32 costs now. Haven't had a close look at the specs but seems you get a slightly larger body with a tilt screen.
Previous GFs have dropped in price really fast, if this follows suit it should make a good entry level camera for those that don't need an EVF or hotshoe. The smaller bodies make so much more sense with the 12-32 compared to the old bulky 14-42s.
Different intended target audience for the GF7 I think. More for the smartphone user/selfie taker looking to move up to a "proper" camera.
I'm out of control. Since payday I've ordered an Olympus 45mm 1.8, Samyang 7.5mm 3.5 fisheye and Samyang 12mm 2.0.
I guess I'm going to have to start doing astro landscapes now.
...speaking of which, I might ask for a SkyTracker v2 for my birthday
Urgh that was a really nasty bout of GAS.

I saw this and thought it looked just like my kit lens that came with my new Olympus E-PL5:

That's because it is! It's a similar concept to the ones sony did last year, but with a micro 4/3rds mount. Amusing.

Just curious, any particular reason you went for the 7.5mm and 12mm primes rather than the 7-14mm or 9-18mm?
I've got the 9-18. Can't really afford the 7-14, plus it doesn't take filters easily.
The 7.5 and 12 are mainly to have a play with some astro landscapes at some point. Plus I've never had a fisheye so just sought of fancied one, plus the 12mm will be really handy for the very low light aquarium photography that I do a lot of for my other hobby. I really like the 9-18, it's an excellent lightweight wide-angle lens that takes a cheap sized filter, but it just isn't fast enough for a couple of things I need to do.
The 12mm arrived yesterday - really enjoying it thus far. It feels really well made and balances very well on the E-M5.

Alright guys. I have some 25% off vouchers on shop.Olympus
I have 5 so if you really plan on buying something I'll give you the code. If it saves people some money.
Jake. When's this beer too haha.
If these will be valid in a week or two when the E-M5 mkII is released I might well be interested in one infernox. If not I'd be sure to pass it on to someone else before it expired
I would be massively grateful if you could fire a code across infernox - I've had my eye on the Om-d series for an age and with trips to China and San Fran this year I will definitely be purchasing
Just fired across my email address, if that's cool.

Yes please then buddy, greatly appreciated. If you could send it to my hotmail account (details in trust) that would be awesome.

Hmmmm tempted to hire a lens for my holiday next week.
Anyone know where I can hire the Olympus 9-18?

Just buy one already Phate. Hire cost will probably be same as what you'd lose buying one new and selling it on later if you decided not to keep it.
Or you could hire mine
Also http://e-group.uk.net/hire/hire_info.php/. They have a partial hire fee rebate if you then buy.
