Olympus 12-40mm F2.8

Spotted this lens on Carousell SG and contacted the seller.  Wanted the pouch to go with it but he did not have it anymore.  So I decided to wait until he found it.  Turns out he sold to his colleague but the colleague wanted to pay by installments which he did not agree to and he contacted me to see if I was still keen.

I told him that I was an to deal on Monday afternoon but he had to go for a course and he personally drove to my workplace to pass it to me.

The lens is in wonderful mint condition.  For the price I paid, it was a bargain price which cannot be found on the internet or elsewhere.

I am a very happy man now.  My Olympus lens collection is complete.  Olympus OMD EM5 Mk II, Olympus 12-40mm F2.8 PRO, Olympus 45mm F1.8 and Olympus 75mm F1.8 as I am more a portrait shooter than a landscape shooter.

Also received the PK to m43 adapter from eBay that I bought to try with manual lenses.

Will update once I have time to shoot.

Olympus 75mm F1.8

Managed to get my hands on a mint copy of the Silver/Chrome Olympus 75mm F1.8.  It is very sharp at wide open at F1.8.

Will test this lens out tomorrow in school.
