Getting rid of my EP1.....
« on: July 31, 2011, 01:46:25 PM »
Well I've really enjoyed my time with my EP1 and especially with legacy lenses, but I've found myself wanting a viewfinder from time to time, especially in the bright weather so its time to move on from my EP1..... its a shame as I really love it and its got me back into photography in a big way. I was contemplating simply picking up a G1/G2 to go with it but tried the G2 EVF in Jessops today and didn't really like it very much....

That and it just didn't have the charm or the feel of the Pen which I've really really enjoyed.... anyway I ended up in another store where they had Black EP2 kits fairly cheap, and I was quite tempted but I really didn't like the browny colour..... although the black pancake lens was nice!

Anyway in the end I've managed to get their last Silver EP2 Pancake kit, woo and only paid £400 for it which I'm delighted with as the best body only EP2 I've seen was £350 and that was a black one, the silver seems much pricier, so I'll be adding an VF2 shortly but will need to get rid of the EP1 and one of the pancakes to pay for some of it!

Sounds like a good deal  :)
Upgrading can be a real price challenge at times. Glad you a deal.
Enjoy

Well thats my EP1 just sold today, only had it a month or so but was a little reluctant to let it go, really grown on my since I've had it but the EP2 seems equally as brilliant!
