It's not an Olympus, you see. Panasonic were selling refurbished GM1s on eBay, for £299, complete with the 12-32. I thought it'd make a good platform for my 14 and 20mm lenses (the rattlesnaking is quite bothersome) . It comes with the 12-32.

Re: I've bought a new camera. Now I'm a traitor
But you are still a photographer. To be a real traitor you would need to swap your camera for pencils and a sketch book.

No chance of that happening. When it comes to drawing and painting, I have vision but something goes horribly wrong in the bit between my brain and my fingers.Comment

Do those lenses rattlesnake on all cameras - you could have got an E-PM2 for less than that, albeit body only.Most used: EM5i + 12-200mm, In briefcase: E-PM2 + 12-42mmEZ

No: to be a real traitor you would need to park your car and caravan and have a brew up in the middle of a beauty spot right where I want to take a photo.Originally posted by Zuiko View PostBut you are still a photographer.

Well, at least it's a u43 camera. Fuji - that would have been a different matter altogether!Comment

Re: I've bought a new camera. Now I'm a traitor
Enjoy it - the 12-32 is no slouch but GM1 plus 20/1.7 is a blast! If Olympus had made the GM1 you'd have bought that one....Comment

Re: I've bought a new camera. Now I'm a traitor
Yes: I also met a family at sunset on the 199 steps at Whitby, where the 'father' decided he wanted to play games with his children right in front of myself and another photographer, both with tripods; and who became rather testy about taking photographs with his children in.Originally posted by Zuiko View PostAh, you've met that family too!
His wife repeatedly tried to persuade him to move on, and eventually went off in a huff; but he told her that they had just as much right to be there as everyone else.

No... but if they had made the GM5 (GM1 with viewfinder instead of flash) I would have done.Originally posted by JonSchick View PostMost used: EM5i + 12-200mm, In briefcase: E-PM2 + 12-42mmEZ
