what photography related item did you buy this week?

[tobahl]

Got my GM1 today, with a 3D printed grip it's almost the size of the gx800

BidKev, where did you get the "extra pair of hands" Really useful looking.

Got my £15 FL-14 in the post today. Surprisingly solid little flash, the metal casing surprised me. I guess it was designed to match the production quality of the original E-P1. It’s the silver one, aesthetically a good match for my silver/black Pen-F.

Obviously it’s a wash features wise with no tilt or bounce, but it should hopefully diffuse nicely for Macro. Not that the aesthetics will matter much when it’s part of a jury-rigged macro setup!

MC-20 Shipped today. Must be last one in Australia.

Took advantage of Olympus trade up offer - Traded in my EM1-1 for a new EM1-Mkii -
Still getting used to the newness of it all - With my 12-100 it seems to make an unbeatable
combo -

Penny 100-300mm f4-5.6 ii power oils to go with my om-d e-m1 both being weather sealed. Now looking for a tripod cooler for the Panny 100-300.

I have a bid in on a Panasonic lens 45-150mm MFT, so fingers crossed this will be my buy for this week
I am on a very tight budget so 70 euro would be great for me.

Got Gordy's neck and hand strap made from pure leather. They seem ok. Not the finest in the world nor the most comfortable but go well with EM1.2's retro look.

For the price it's good and is made in USA, so there's that too. I am just a little skeptical about the string that connects to camera, but on Gordy's website he's shown how strong that material is. Let's see. I'm getting a little tired of Peak Designs tabs and seat belts.

How much did you pay? I have been eyeing that lens but in two minds.

Rounded out my collection with a new Olympus 45mm f1.8 prime lens. It should compliment the PL15, O25 primes nicely as well as my 12-40 and 40-150 zooms. Each has a use case in my photographic world and with both an E-M10 II and Pen-F, I can have any combination at the ready.

@Bidkev

Just putting the @ in front so he gets a message to respond.
I have the sellers page booked marked at home but are away at present. The seller had a few differnt versions, one with I think 4 arms for virtually the same price. The web page sorting was a bit hard but lots of interesting things

This thing looks like Otto Octavious from Spiderman.

Received last Friday a used black Oly E-P5 body with only 472 clicks on the shutter, in mint condition. With the box and accessories. Looking in the "secret" menus it appears to have been manufactured in early 2017, so must have very late in the production run. $275 plus $10 shipping from the original owner.

you need the VF-4 to go with it. It's a combination that beats any of my "fixed" viewfinders. The ability to have the camera lower than my eye is crucial in so many compositions. Not to mention that my big nose can breath freely (not being squashed against the LCD)

Went through 2 Kastar and 2 generic batteries from Aliexpress for E-M1 mk II. I have now given up on third party batteries for E-M1 mk II. Ordered OEM battery today.
BLH-1 must be hard candy to crack/decode.

M43 needs some new smallish bodies...all of the m43 msg boards are at an all time level of boringness. :-(

Yep, bring on the GM10 and the E-PM3...
