It should drop, the 20mm is far superior – and much more useful.
that depends ofcourse on the situation and user..but a pricedrop is always welcome
Not comparable. We’re talking 28 vs. 40mm in 35mm terms. Landscape photography? I’d take the 14 every day of the week.
still overpriced
i think i go with a NEX instead
For the lenses???? hahaha you joking!
The Panasonic 14mm and 20mm are very good pancakes! And the power of a compact system as m43
(And NEX users can only dream about lenses as the Zuiko 12mm F2 and Leica 25mm F1.4)
Not to mention the Panasonic 7-14mm f4 or the Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f0.95.
@kai… For landscapes? I’ll take the 7-14mm in a heartbeat.
Amazing lens, i got some real nice keepers with it
senor pablo must have owned a trinitron tv when he was still young
This isn’t the real Pablo – he never used this avatar before.
I think this is a normal person, posing as Pablo to try and show him how ridiculous he sounds on a m4/3 forum.
Every remark he makes is about nex.
This guy just starting using the forum.
Don’t you already own a NEX? EVERY f@ck@ing comment from you is about how much you like NEX better.
Pablum….did someone say Pablum….????
hehe.. yup, I think I smell something, oh I know, someones diaper needs changing! 🙂
apps for Panasonic cameras might be stored in the cloud “Currently 2011 TV Models. In the future we plan to have other Panasonic Devices support VIERA Connect.” from their FAQS page http://developer.vieraconnect.com/
You can have all the apps you could ever want on your camera. You may want a bigger battery to run the thing, too. Or maybe a really long extension cord. 😉
Me? I have my Mac, iPad and iPod touch for all that. I just want a camera without all the crap on it. No in-camera editing, or wannabe Photoshop or Final Cut Pro stuff, or “art” filters, or cropping or FaceBook links any of that other BS.
Keep the thing simple, which doesn’t mean idiot-fied like the GF3 or EPM1. Good external controls and solid ergonomics and great LOW ISO performance… Step BELOW 100 ISO, please!
PLEASE, just give us a straightforward photographic machine.
anyone know the difference between the E-P3 14-42 II R and the earlier 14-42 II that came with the E-PL2?
thanks!
Supposedly it’s purely cosmetic. The II will work with FAST AF just the same.
One has the “R”, the other doesnt ! Lol!
From what I have read, the R versions take full advantage of the new fast auto focusing. I don’t know if there are any changes optically.
Nice to see a price drop but this (as an owner) this is my least favorite m43 lens by far. The only thing it does well is allow a GF1/2/3 to fit in a pocket…
Is the problem the field of view or the image quality?
Well in Asia this lens is only around $250 (no box)
maybe the 14mm is due to be replaced in september for a better 2nd version?
