Wow 319$ for the 75mm f1.8?
Can’t seem to get the link working.
Obviously just click bait. It never worked from the start.
It is a type, which the admin still hasn’t fixed. The link is for the 25mm f1.8.
Olympus should pay people $100 to use that POS 14-42 kit lens. Horrible ergonomics and built like a toy out of a gumball machine. By the time you are thoroughly frustrated with it you find that it’s worth about $30 on the used local market.
It’s still much better than what you get with other systems, eg. Sony 16-50mm PZ.
I have always thrown any standard kit lens I aquired in the trash can. I don’t think any standard kit lens is even worth $30.
Then either you don’t know Olympus kit lenses, or your plain foolish. Take a look at SLRgear’s tests of the Olympus 14-42 II , the Panasonic 14-42 II, or especially the near legendary Panasonic 14-45, and their primary difference from more expensive lenses is they’re slower (and as a result much more compact). Sometimes comments on this forum simply amaze me.
And how is your opinion better than anyone else’s? It’s not. I would rather pay a little more for a premium kit or save with a body only and use the money towards a premium lens. That’s not foolish, it’s prudent to get the best results. You should take your sense of superiority and do a double check.
CN exaggerated a bit, but perception is reality. Compare the look and feel of the Oly 14-42 to the Panny 14-45 or even their new 14-42 II. Oly looks and feels cheap.
If Oly wants to bring new customers into the fold, they need to upgrade the materials and construction of the kit lens.
Why troll the M/43 board . . . oh, right there ain’t anything new or interesting on archaic cannon site. The 14-42 II is a great little lens. Glad to have one.
This story is misleading. It should be made clear that these prices are for USED or REFURBISHED gear. The price of a new E-M10 has not dropped.
What are you talking about? These are “open box”, not used or refurb according to the seller: “This great camera was opened for an instore event. After the event it was put back in the box. It comes with all of the Olympus supplied accessories and the Olympus USA warranty. Because it was opened we will not sell it as new, never opened”
