Pen-Ography and thoughts on the GF1 v EP2

[Nick De Marco]

I just got the Oly EP2.
I am already a happy owner of the GF1, which I think all round is a better camera - especially with that beautiful 20/1.7 - but I also wanted 4/3rd to use old MF lenses, and in the street focussing with live view is not perfect. I got the Panny EVF and it sucks so bought the EP2 mainly for the much better EVF. And of course it has in camera IS which is helpful with MF lenses.

Anyway I was also attracted to the 'pinhole' art mode on the EP2, and those old saturated Oly colours.

I've enjoyed playing with it so much it has inspired me to start my first flickr group, Pen-Ography. Please take a peak.

I signed up--please approve me, I'll post some shots. Love your rambling list of rules!

I've used both cameras and generally prefer the E-P2, though I miss the GF1's nicer screen and simpler menu system. Love the IS though. The 20mm + E-P2 is a wonderful combination.

Yeah one thing I don't love about the ep2 is the controls

O.T... just cant help but comment... thats the perfect way to keep your sunglasses in perfect shape and have the best flare when its has all the scratches on the glass 🙂

i just sold my EP1 for an EP2 but ended up with the RD1. Now i'm torn between the EPL1 & the EP2 cant decide just yet :bang:
