Snaps from the OM-D with a Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN at the front. Damn those are crispy shots!
Late post I know. Very late post. Anyways...swung by PhotoWorld Asia 2014 last...oh crap I forgot. Anyways, I think it was either last few days of January or the first few days of February. Lots of gear. Lots of gear on sale, and I'm looking at you Sigma 19mm m4/3 lens. Canon was, as always in full force. Samsung had its presence felt strong, Pentax was there, Fuji had a field day since it was also the launch of the XT-1. They even had a demo/seminar of the XT-1. Unfortunately the presence of the MFT System wasn't there. Panasonic didn't have a booth and neither did Olympus. I think the only way MFT was felt there was through Sigma's 19mm and 30mm lens from JT Photoworld and the ultra affordable flash system from Photozuela, which were the point of my coming there and gademit that 19mm is so desirable! It was also rock bottom cheap as it was on sale. Unfortunately my wallet and card does not agree so I left empty handed, but nevertheless I'll be sure to nab that Sigma 19mm soon.
Cheers! I finally got a phone that allows me to connect via Instagram and do a lot of other things. With that also comes the access to a lot of photo apps, one of which is Instagram (yeah I know it's not merely an app). While I'm tempted to download those apps, I chose not to, of course relegating all photo duties to my E-M5. I'm making Instagram an exception though due to the social media side of it. I'll still use it though, primarily for food shots that does not warrant the use E-M5. Cheers! Yeah...posting this through the said phone. EDIT: The Weebly app kept crashing while i was trying to attach this photo taken with the phone and I think I can't use tags, so yeah...editing via the PC LOL and they said the PC is dying due to these smartphones / mobile devices. I THINK NOT! Samsung GT-i9295 Camera | Focal Length: 3.7mm | AWB | A: f/2.6 | S: 1/33 | ISO: 160
I got myself a Panasonic Lumix G 14mm f/2.5 ASPH lens. So the E-M5 has definitely gone out of the "stock mode" it initially was in. Haven't test driven this baby yet, but one of my favorite photographer and site - Steve Huff, had a good review of it and his review was one of the factors that made me buy it for a steal (I believe the price for which I got it for is). Of course the Panasonic 20mm or the Olympus 12mm (and yes there are those who swear by the 45mm, 75mm, and 17mm) is still the weapon of choice of most m4/3 shooters out there.
