Emil and Jasmin have been decorating the christmas tree today — our first one ever!
- Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/80 sec, ISO 800
This reminds me of something — I still can’t get why Olympus, creating a camera as highly customizeable as the E-P1, never thought of integrating an option for setting a custom slowest shutter speed. This picture could’ve easily been taken at 1/20 second with the help of the image stabilizer (which I have always activated).

Oh wow, that’s an early Christmas tree – hopefully, it will still have needles in 4 weeks or so 😉 And you must be proud that your son is helping already.
About the Pens: I also got an E-PL1 now (like my wife before), and asked myself the same question already. But then again, it’s all pretty much WYSIWYG, so most of the time I don’t use Auto ISO (tho it’s good until 800; at least one stop better in that regard than my E-520).
That’s the best bokeh I’ve seen from the EP1! My pancake is the Oly 17mm f2.8 as i really love its colour signature but it makes me think that I should take a look at the Lumix 20mm.
Wolfgang – da wir Heiligabend bei den Schwiegereltern sind, dachten, wir wollen vorher schon was von dem Baum haben
Ich benutze meine E-P1 im Auto-Modus bis max. ISO 2000 – die JPEGs sind ordentlich, und aus den ORFs lässt sich noch einiges mehr rausholen.
Darell – yes, if you’re a “bokeh boy” (I read that on RFF recently), you’ll like the 20/1.7. I’m amazed at times about the quality it can deliver.
