Good Jupiter - what a great amout of great advice. Really appreciate your thoughtful notes on lenses for em5. It will be my reference. Thank you.
Thank you. Good to know. Could you tell me if what lens you bought with the camera? Did you bundle it or get a different lens. I am not very interested in video. Looking at the Em5Mkll. Are Olympus kit lenses good. Thanks again.
If you don't mind where do you get your big ticket items.
Thanks Andy - yeah it is Mike's. They are nice & seem knowledgeable. Appreciate your comments.
Thanks davidb- they offer a brief warranty & a return policy. On closer inspection there is a cosmetic surface scratch on the front of the lens that didn't seem to affect the image. Or would I be better off buying a new M5 with the kit lens for$999 ? Thanks
At a franchise camera store in Sacramento a guy showed me a used omd em lmkll for $899 & a Pro 12-40mm lens for $450. Is it worth the risk? Thanks
Thank you. NOT minor details. Valuable details. Appreciate your experience and information.
Welcome to the forum Ace. I'm a newbie also. Yet to buy my first camera in 40 years. Folks here are very hospitable and generous in sharing earnest advice from their years of experience. People you want to hang with. Stick around. You'll get lots of help.
welcome, it's a nice place to hang out.
Thanks _ jb It's great to wake up to a good commentary. Your response is almost as good as a double espresso. Appreciate it. I will have to give the Ml a new look. Thanks again.
Thank you isob - appreciate your comments. I'm pretty set on the e-M5ll. There will be naysayers and skeptics. A lot of subjective feelings, albeit not without experience. I respect them all. Thanks again.
Thanks...I've heard that same complaint. Maybe they are not well translated. Debk recommended a book by Darrell Young - Mastering the Olympus OMDe-M5ll. May help. It's on Amazon, but what's not.
Thank you beagelman, appreciate the information. Good luck.
Hey Frankie - great information. Now I have more decisions to make, but let's face it, it's fun and these are what my wife calls luxury problems....and your response gives me information and alternatives.
Thanks again.
Wow. That's a very generous offer. I appreciate it and will very likely take you up on it in the near future.
