The Ep-1 is already out-date here in Singapore. Some are selling at less than $100 (singapore dollars) and a EP5 can cost almost 10times more. Ep-1 is still a great camera especially if one is still using iSo100-800. It cannot win the latest 16MP OM-d or EP-5 or EPL6 in terms of iso 1600 and above.
I am longing for a ultra wide angle lens for a while. However, looking at the current lens lineup in the Fuji X mount, I went to look for alternative lens from other mount for the wide angle area.
The Fuji 14mm f2.8 is abut 21mm in terms of Fullframe terms and cost about USD$999. The Zeiss 12mm (eql.18mm) f2.8 X mount lens cost also about USD$999. The samyang 14mm f2.8 cost about $299 USD but the size looks bulky. I do not really want to spend so much on a wide angle which is for me used only in landscape and will be mainly mounted on a tripod. A f2.8 aperture lens (which cost more)is not important for me for such application and usually for landscape shoot, I will stick to iso100-200.
Recently I saw a 9-18mm Olympus lens on sale at the 2nd hand forum. The 9-18mm is equivalent to 18-36mm f4-5.6. I bargain and got it at abt US$250. The review on this lens is so far positive and I will test it out soon. It will be mounted to my EP-1 Olympus for landscape shooting. I will use my XE-1 w 18-55mm and 55-200mm for general shooting and low light handheld shoots.
