I am very pleased with it. Performs quite well in low-light conditions, my main reason for buying it. Used to live in Kuala Lumpur. We often went for a nice local dinner at the Pantai Hill Park area. That time I was still using a Canon 50D with a 50mm 1.4 USM. People were always looking funny when I would carry that camera along (the battery grip made it look huge). Now I can visit those places with a small and unobtrusive camera :). <br /><br />Anyway. Thanks Robin for your input. We lived in KL from 2009 to 2013. I own and operate Wonderful Malaysia and Veelzijdig Maleisie (Dutch); two very popular travel guides on Malaysia.

You are spot on about the comfortable shooting length, the 45mm allows some distance between me and the subject so that they do not feel too awkward! Very important point for close up portrait shooting.

I currently own the em-1, 12-40 pro, 25mm f1.8 and 45mm f1.8. love them all. Im getting ready to head to iceland this summer - the ultimate landscape shooters dream right:) <br /><br />I will probably be happy enough with the 12-40pro for wide shots. I do wish the to be released 7-14mm pro was out :):):):) Come on Robin cant you pull some p;y strings and get this lens released sooner then the proposed 2015 :) ha<br /><br />So whats your thoughts or anyone else for that matter. Should i just roll with the 12-40pro or rent the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f/4.0 ?<br /><br />thanks and keep up the good work Robin<br /><br />chuck<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203262283621704362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-39458926690932029012014-05-12T07:37:54.923+08:002014-05-12T07:37:54.923+08:00Unfortunately that is not something I have control...Unfortunately that is not something I have control over.

If so, what are your thoughts?"<br /><br />Well, I'm shooting with Ricoh GR, so I'm practically stuck with one lens, and one lens only. It's a 18mm lens on APS-C (Equivalent FOV of 28mm). Honestly, it's not my favorite focal length, where 35mm FOV would be my fav. But, I learn to like it. It's versatile, and becomes natural after sometime. I think it's easier to capture/create story with wider lens as I tend to put more things inside the composition. Longer lens would make one subject, and often detached from the surrounding. Of course, that's not always the case. <br /><br />Close-up portrait is never my interest, that's why wider length would suit me better. I've been following your blog for sometime, and so far think that close-up portrait is one of your stronger interests. Perhaps with wider lens you can start looking for other perspective like environmental portrait? <br /><br />Anyhow... have fun! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-4182670173533198352014-05-11T23:20:21.713+08:002014-05-11T23:20:21.713+08:00Always enjoy your street photos, very fresh and in...Always enjoy your street photos, very fresh and in the moment. I think that when I intend to shoot a "street" situation or a day of street shooting. I tend to look at 24mm or a 35mm focal length. But that is only as the people are details that show the flow of action. If I am looking for street portraits then I am normally looking at a 90mm or ( 45mm for 4/3 ) as a minimum focal length. Many times it ends up being even longer....135mm or 180mm 9 fixed) focal length. Your subject seem much more at ease with having a photo taken of them....in our end of the world, not so much. The 45mm really does crank out a crispy sharp image. shadowman916https://www.blogger.com/profile/12026914309520623672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-23299739070360392602014-05-11T21:24:01.489+08:002014-05-11T21:24:01.489+08:00Thanks for sharing Gonzalo Broto.

Though I have not tried the Panasonic pancake zoom I have been using (reviewing) the Olympus pancake zoom and I know what you mean, because it is so small and light it is so easy to use, and we shoot more with it! Indeed wide to normal perspective is very much important and most people would cover this range. <br />Oh yes, that 45mm rocks. I am curious about that 15mm lens too, wish I can get my hands on one. <br />Robin Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572566037297158455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-33028090918170478612014-05-11T18:39:26.916+08:002014-05-11T18:39:26.916+08:00Nice captures, Robin!

I'm sure it was a nice stroll with your colleagues and you all had lots of fun while shooting!<br />As for my personal way of approaching street photography, I always use a wide to normal zoom, as I don't have any wide angle prime lens yet (but that is going to change very soon with the upcoming panaleica 15mm). My go-to lens used to be the Panasonic 12-35 f2.8 lens for the most part of last year, but ever since I bough the tiny GM1 with the 12-32mm lens, I have been using that lens much more, it's so small and easy to carry but so sharp and flexible at the same time! Most of the times my pictures are taken at both extremes of the zoom range, either 12-14 or 25-32, depending on my needs, but generally I stay at the wider end, and that's the reason why my next purchase will be the 15mm lens. When I need something longer, then I use our beloved M.Zuiko 45mm, that also fits the GM1 like a glove, and I have most needs covered!<br />I just uploaded my last set of street captures with these lenses to my blog, check them if you like! http://gonzalobroto.blogspot.com/2014/05/looking-for-light.htmlGonzalo Brotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635279957781612669noreply@blogger.com
