Hi Steve
thank you for a very informative web site. Keep up the good work.
I was wondering if you could give an unbiased advice on the choice of a camera.

By way of background I am a hobbyist who has a passion for photography. I have some knowledge of photography without by any means professing to be an expert at it.

I photograph predominantly people especially my wife and daughter and landscapes. I travel a lot and also take photographs of buildings etc.

I presently own Leica D-Lux 5(a recent replacement for the Leica –Dlux 3) that i purchased following the review on your site and Nikon D-90 with an assortment of lenses. The Nikon I have found to be too bulky and have tended to leave it behind relying instead on my Leica D-Lux 3 until recently. I am in the process of selling my Nikon with a view to purchasing a real Leica as opposed to a Panasonic incarnation(D-Lux 5).

I have narrowed my choices to either of the following:

Leica X1; or

Leica M9 with 35mm & 50 mm Summilux lenses; or

Second hand Leica M8 or 8.2 with the above lenses.

I have however never used a rangefinder camera although I am willing to learn.

I have always coveted a Leica and also like the simplicity of the Leica versus DSLR’S where I feel, at times, one needs a whole degree in understanding how to use the functions alone.

Based on what I have told you about my photography skills and my style of photography I would be interested in your recommendation. Video recording is not a necessity.

Although there is a vast difference in the cost between the X1 and M9/M8 with the lenses, finance is not an issue.

I had also considered an Olympus Pen EP-2 with Leica lenses but have discarded that option as i am not sure whether the Leica lenses would work terrifically. Am i wise to discard this option?

i welcome your feedback and invaluable advice.

thanking you in advance.

best regards
Hemant

I was wondering, if i can use nikon flash (SB800) mounted or wireless (using made in china radio triggers, RF602) with EP-2. I’m still thinking to get either GF1 or EP2 (i heard that Oly EP-1/2 have better build compared to Panny GF1) but since i’m a big fan of off camera flash, i have to make sure that either one of these camera can use wireless trigger system that i currently have.
Thanks for the great review of both GF1 and EP2!

Hi Steve, great review and nice pics of ep2. I got one too with 20mm 1.7. Just can’t take any decent snapshot. Any tips on the setting?

Thanks Steve
Your review of the EP2 is excellent I bought one last week based on your review, I’ve always admired Olympus products right back to my OM4/ OM2 days, but so far I’m very impressed with my EP2 the image quality is brilliant, easy to use and carry around thanks.

Hey Steve,

I have the olympus EP-2 and was looking to get either a Voigtlander (likely the 40mm 1.4) or Zeiss lens (50mm 1.4 planar). My question was if I get the Zeiss lens, what mount should I get it in (Nikon F, Pentax K, screw mount, or EF mount)? My understanding is that with the EF mount, I won’t be able to have full manual control: I won’t be able to change the aperture easily. Is there a difference in usability between the F, K or screw mount? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have written great reviews of the GF1, the E-P1, and the E-P2. I am expecting my first child in this summer and have decided to move away from DSLRs to save money and space. I am debating between these three cameras. Cost is definitely a factor, but so is image performance. I am leaning towards the GF1 for it’s focus speed and EVF, the E-p1 for image quality and cost (much lower priced compared to GF1 or E-p2). I like the E-p2, but the cost might be restrictive. HELP!!!
