Revision as of 02:36, 28 February 2013
I acquired an Olympus OM-D EM-5 on February 27, 2013. I got it with the bundled 12-50mm kit lens.
Lenses
I bought the Olympus lens hood for the 12-50mm as well as a B+W 52mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M).
I will almost certainly be getting the 75mm f1.8 lens. After that, I'm not sure. I'm considering:
- Panasonic 7-14mm f4.0. I've never used such a wide angle lens before, so I'd want to rent and play with it first.
- 12mm f2.0 or 17mm f1.8 as an every day lens.
Accessories
Reviews
- Best Mirrorless Camera Over $1,000
- Olympus OM-D EM-5 (Micro Four Thirds) Long Term Review
- Olympus OM-D E-M5: A Field Review. The Best MFT Camera Yet. Also has good overview of lenses.
Bags
I have the BlackRapid Metro camera strap. In theory, the Snapr 35 would have be perfect, but it was not well-reviewed.
I also bought a generic padded insert, which holds the body and a few lenses, and which I can use in any of my bags.
I could use an insert to carry this around in my backpack or other bags.
Another possibility is the LowePro S&F Utility Bag 100 AW, which I could probably use in the same way as a Snapr 35. Or, I could use the Metro strap along with a LowePro S&F Slim Lens Pouch 55 AW to hold an extra lens.
Finally, I'm considering a Tom Bihn Co-Pilot (possibly with an insert) as a dedicated bag:
- Q about Co-Pilot: Considering for SLR Camera Bag
- Cardinal Co-Pilot as camera bag for DSLR kit (Part I)
Other possibilities and resources:
