E-P1 with Nokton 40mm SC - thought I'd share a few...

Hi everyone,
It's been some time but, this is my first post on RFF. I thought people might be interested in these rather quick shots with the E-P1 with a 4omm Nokton SC. These were done in low light and hand held. enjoy.

Thanks for posting these images. That kit lens looks VERY good judging by this one image. If you get a chance, could you post some close-ups (of the basil for comparison?) using the kit lens? Thanks.

Is the kit lens the zoom or the 17?

Also, how do you find focusing with the 40MM? I have the 40 SC and I just ordered the EP1 today and am anxious to try out the 40 (still need to order the M to M43 adapter though).

focusing with the 40mm - it's not really hard, about two years ago I had my Hasselblad stolen and one of the things I missed was the waist level view finder. I'll admit I'm not one of those "no viewfinder - not interested" guys, so it's not too big a concern with me. One thing I really try to stay aware of is the fact that you don't need to focus perfectly - your focal range will take care of the small details - you just have to get there.

The bottom image is with the zoom lens. Unlike the review at the online photographer - I have no problems with the build quality - it's not a voigtland (or leica) but it's ok. I mean its just ok - it's not going to give anyone G.A.S. after they see that lens.

I'll try to get some shots of the basil this weekend with the kit lens.
