The ES-1 works perfectly with the 4:3 30mm macro. Fills the frame.

A silver 28mm Voigtlander Color Skopar F3.5 is on its way to me from Japan. For me, it's not "the one" - that's the Summicron. But the price was right on this Voigt so much so that I couldn't let someone else snap it up and I love it's appearance and size which is consistent with my "small lenses only" policy with RF cameras. I previously swore not to get used Voigtlander lenses for my RF due to a nasty experience of a member on this forum had with, I think, a 21mm Skopar but I'm giving this one a go (I can send it back if need be).
This is for street shooting/ landscape which raises the issue of why I need it given the similar focal lengthed GR is in my pocket every day - but that’s another matter!

Does another M2 SSD for my PC count?
I got a Kingston KC2500 2TB to use as a backup and general fast storage disk on my stationary PC a few weeks ago.
The price I paid was nearly 30% less then what it goes for today.
Sure it is "only" PCIe 3 but it will be fast enough for my needs.
Want to keep a copy of my system SSD on another SSD so if the main SSD fails I can boot from the other one. Still have to figure out how to do this.

My 35 skopar was used and it's a great performer. I think it's more likely you'll get a good one than a bad one, they are well-made lenses. I know the 28mm f3.5 is a well-regarded lens.

Make a system image of your boot drive onto an NTFS HDD. Use 'Backup and Restore' under 'System Tools'. 'Create System Image' IIRC.
Using one SSD to backup another SSD is not wise IMNSHO.

Olympus M5 Mk3 arrived late this afternoon. Just charging up the batteries and working out how to convert the RAW files.

Unfortunately I've been on a little bit of a spending spree around the purchase of the K-1 II. Technically, I've been on a selling spree too, but I still need to find a way to make those two balances even out!
I ordered a "used, very good" Pentax HD FA 35mm f2 lens from Amazon. $230 made for a good deal on that lens, it's a pretty new one and there isn't a whole lot of info on it out there, even on Pentax Forums, but it should be good. Amidst the different manual focus lenses I am using with the K-1, I figured having one modern autofocus lens with the latest coatings on it would be a good idea, and 35mm f2 makes for what I think is a sensible all-around lens. I may very well get the 31mm Limited lens in the future, and when the time comes, this 35mm can be sold to help fund it.

I broke the eyecup on my em5-2 while removing it for cleaning, so find this to be a credible replacement.

Just picked up a Rokinon AF85mm F1.4 in RF mount. The RF mount 85 F2 was my first attempt at a solution. Size, price, close focus. Fine lens but I wanted a little more aperture pop. The EF 85 1.2Lii was my next venture. Beautiful rendering but slow AF and Canon ball like weight and balance made the choice easy for a switch. The Sam/Rok is relatively light and the native mount keeps balance closer to the body. AF is sure and fast and the images have a nice balance of sharpness wide open and smooth OOF rendering. It would seem that support for RF has been discontinued which is a shame as the system could really use more options.

Well, fell off the non-buying a camera wagon, when this one popped up:
Still needing it about as much as another hole in my head, but this one, complete including bag and a 8 GB card for €50 plus postage it was a done deal. My silver GX1 has the delaminating screen issue and the seller promised that the screen on this one is GTG, so the deal was done.
Not to sure what to do with the silver one, but it leaves me with just one model to get in black, a GM1 to replace the silver one, so there is that.

That's an amazing deal for a non-delaminated GX1! Still a capable camera for RAW files, as long as you watch out for shutter shock.
Agree, can probably flip the kit-lens for a tenner or two more than the whole package. So fingers crossed for the description being correct. If push comes to show, I have a LVF-2 that I normally carry with the LX7s that is useable for the GX-1 as well.

Nice new Olympus OM-DE-M5 Mk III kit with a free lens to send off for.
Mine is wall mounted and runs a bunch of stuff for home automation, etc .. It's a neat device.

Had some trade and snagged a used Nikkor Z 85/1.8 S. Looking forward to using it more once the 100F temps subside in a few days.
Snapped these inside, though.

So the GX1 came in today, very tidy, not a hint of screen de-lamintion to be found and less than 1500 shutter actuations. For all intents and purposes, it is like new with just a tiny spec of paint missing from one of the nubs on the bottom. Even the bag is like new, and one that I can see myself using quite a bit.
All in all, €62 inc. postage well spent.

I still like to use my E-P1. These are still fine cameras.
