I am a macro-photographer. This is a $40 O-flash 3/4-circle Fresnel prism attachment on a standard speedlight.

The electronic viewfinder and the flash attachment will be my next acquisitions and then the 40-150Zoom....So far the lack of the viewfinder has not been a problem due to the clarity of the screen, but I know when I get to macro, I will want the viewfinder...I'm also waiting for the books (Magic Lantern and For Dummies to be published as the manual isn't the greatest) Notwithstanding the above...I'm still getting fantastic results from the 12mmF2, haven't even mounted the 14-42 kit lens yet..RobertW

This may be a few months late, but I have just gotten the 70-300 mm lens. Actually bought it on ebay, second purchase there.Lens works great still testing and playing.First impression a little heavy and may "hunt" a little in low light auto focus. Overall impressed

Wouldn't trade my Olympus for anything. All the people I know have others, but I love what I have. What I want now is another Oly with more "power". I am still not convince about the digital business. I have all my Granddad's photos from the 19th cy and they are clear and sharp. I just don't think the digitals can last like that.
Opinions there, or is this a different discussion to move from Olympus?

Another Oly person here ... owned nothing but Olympus for the past 30-35 years (started with OM10, then OM2S ... just sold the last of the film stuff 3 months ago). Now using e-520 for about 4 or 5 years, and added EP-2 a year and a half back. Only non Oly lens is the Panasonic 20mm for the Panasonic, and I love it. Have and love 50mm macro, 14-54 MkII, 9-18mm. Have 70-300 (slow to focus, but otherwise happy) and 40-150 (has only been on camera twice). Never have tried a Sigma lens, but interested in hearing feedback from any who have them.

Have any of the Oly Fans read the new reviews on the OMD-EM5??
It sounds like it solves every single problem I have with the EP3---I'm thinking the EP3 with the 12mmf2.0 almost permanent and the EM5 with the new 24-50 Zoom...Still staying with my Leica for long range work,, and their 75mmf1.8 sounds like a good investment too. Would like to hear more reactions to those using the 40-150 and the 70-300 but will take a lot of convincing to give up the Leica with long lenses---RobertW

Have read the reviews of the EM5 on dpreview.com and thought it sounds like something I would love to have in my collection. On the way to bank today to burn my mortgage, so maybe I can start saving my pennies (depending on what my wife has planned for the post-mortgage years) :)

On a tight budget you could find a used 14-54 mk I for around 325. If budget isn't a concern the 12-60 is a great choice, albeit it's a bit big on the 620, but not too bad. If you need the reach the 50-200 is an awesome lens as well. And then there is the 35mm and 50 mm macro. Both of those are tack sharp. I've seen the 35 mm sell for 135 used. Now if you want a great walk around lens, go for the 25mm pankake. The 620 and 25 makes for a lightweight setup
