now, i want a second body.

[back alley]

been thinking about it some, getting a second g1 body...one for the af kit lens and later on the af 20/1.7 lens (also the 45-200) and one for using the zm lenses with manual focus.

having the 20 (40 on the g1) and a 70/2.8 or 100/1.5 sonnar just might make a killer combo for my kind of shooting.

i wish the g1 bodies were available on their own.

Have enough hardware yet Joe?

I'm glad you seem to like the G1 though. It's on my list of items to watch for possible purchase.

 

[back alley]

we loves the hardware al!!

black, blue or red?

I went the other way. Just got a Nikon FM3a. But good luck, Joe, with the gear.

black, blue or red?

I just can't get my mind to accept red as a camera colour.

Speaking of hardware, I just found out that the in Computer class I'm taking we will be building a PC. Just what I need another XP box. I really need to cull both my PC and Camera collections down to things I actually use, instead of things I used to use.

Install Linux on it. Then you can actually use it for something.

the blue seems too subdued... like the red, maybe the black.

I'm thinking of taking the older, slower PC and puting Ubuntu on it. It could be worse, it could come with Vista...

Ubuntu is great. I'm running 8.10 server and 8.04 desktop. Top notch stuff. Should take much better advantage of your old hardware than XP would. Vista....shiver...

But three is the only perfect number. It worked with the P. 🙂

Red is the new black, I'm told.

OS X X86. A decent use of that kind of hardware.

Since this question is already asked........

Are you going to wait until after PMA the first week of March? If any new M43 cameras are introduced maybe....
1) You will find a different body more appealing.
2) With the introduction of different options the price of the G1 may come down a little more.

 

[back alley]

i really have no reason to rush. my shooting is limited at this frozen time of year so i may wait.

but i am not one of those that are expecting olympus to come out with a near rangefinder. if they have i.s. in the body then it would be better for me and the 50 sonnar as i shake a bit more these days.

 

[shadowfox]

Red, joe, you know you want it 😉

I think the red version is just cool-looking. And I am for one can't understand why the delay for Olympus, the (guinea-pig) G1 has proven to be quite popular.

Don't tell me that they are not ready, if they can crank up new models for their P&S, they have resources to spare to produce the m4/3rd cameras.

 

[xayraa33]

I would wait for the Oly micro 4/3rd.
it can't be that long for it to come to market.

I agree 100%!😀
