Comments on: Olympus E-P1 vs Panasonic GF1 http://www.radiantlite.com/2009/09/olympus-e-p1-vs-panasonic-gf1.html Digital photography guide, news and discussion Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:08:26 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Luxembourg http://www.radiantlite.com/2009/09/olympus-e-p1-vs-panasonic-gf1.html/comment-page-1#comment-5468 Luxembourg Tue, 23 Aug 2011 03:16:31 +0000 http://www.radiantlite.com/?p=1072#comment-5468 This is small lens. That's its main claim to fame, not the speed at f2.8, nor the focal length, the equivalent of about 35mm in 35mm photography. But on the small Olympus PEN body, this lens gives you a small package that takes quite good pictures without messing around with a zoom. In particular, it works well as a walking-around street camera, much like an old Leica or a Canon rangefinder of the 1950s/1960s. (See also the optical viewfinder which has image lines specifically for this 17mm lens.) This is small lens.

For me the stabilisation in body of EP-2 outweight the Panasonic when used prime 20/1.7 as well as legacy lenses, which in fact I am using must of the time. Still such comatibility will allow me to retain my other Lumix lenses which are quite good, especially 45-200. regards Thanks Tjin.

I don't think the E-P1 can use this device unfortunately. :-( One major advantage of the E-P1's in-body optical image stabilization vs. the Panasonic's in-lens stabilization, is that when you use a vintage manual lenses (via a M4/3 adapter) and they too will have stabilization!
