Olympus 45mm still going on strongly

* Three of the kind *

I almost forgot I have the 45mm with me. Been using alot 75mm and also the 40-150mm f2.8 lately that I actually started to neglect my Olympus 45mm. This morning having a quick shooting session with Robin & friends at Chow Kit market and is a great time for me to take out 45mm again and shoot. Together with Olympus OM-D E-M1 as a part of my main shooter, I also brought along E-PL 7, 9mm f8 blc and also Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 90mm f/2.5. Yes, the Tamron that I rarely used nor mention here before it since wasn't under my possession. I accidentally brought it home last night LOL

The last of Chow Kit Market

* Independent day is coming soon! *

So, I heard Chow Kit market gonna close down (or maybe renovate into new facelit). The construction is on going now in one of the part and the stalls all shifted to further and newly built building. Anyway, I managed to have shooting with Robin on last Tuesday morning at Chow Kit. Probably my last time here before it completely tear down. Phew, not a good idea to do shutter theraphy on weekday due to jam! Well, at least it worth my travel. We managed to have our breakfast at Kin Kin Pan Mee.

Reason being Robin shooting on weekday is to prepare something big. What it is? Something exciting gonna announce from Olympus on next morning! Done our breakfast, we attack the Chow Kit market.

I returned the Panasonic 25mm f1.4 to Alex on that day itself. So most of my shot this time around were with Olympus 45mm f1.8 and also Olympus 12mm f2! Ahhhh miss my wide angle lens so much after lending it to Alex so long. I bet he miss his 25mm too LOL.. In the same time, been hogging around 25mm for so long made me almost forgot how awesome Olympus 45mm f1.8 is.

Managed to pump my Olympus OM-D E-M1 ISO to 3200 too on one of the market part. Well I don't really love shooting in high ISO #youknowwhybecauseofhighnoiseuglycolorimagenotsharp but once again, technology nowdays proved to me what they are capable of.

Done our shooting, we walk all the way to Dang Wangi for lunch. We went for the brand new shifted Yut Kee! Well they actually just shifted to behind building from their previous location. The environment look much better but I think the menu went price hike too. Nevertheless, I had awesome Pork Chop as my lunch! Yummy! Still haven't got chance to try their roasted pork. Someday!

Faces in Chow Kit market

* Don't smoke and ride *

It is public holiday again today! Woke up early in the morning and join the Shutter Therapist group for some shooting. We have a quick breakfast at Kin Kin Restaurant before heading to our shooting location, Chow Kit market.

* Catch it! *

* Hobby? *

Brought along my newly gained Yashica FX-3 super 2000 as well for some testing and real life experiences using fully mechanical manual camera. As I expected, it is never easy especially when come to ISO limitation. Well, I shall talk more about this after I developed the film roll and blog about it. I am pretty sure photo will turn out badly :/ oh well.. experiences

I am given 75mm f1.8 this time around instead of shooting with 45mm f1.8. I have to admit that luckily I did not get the 75mm but 45mm instead. Don't get me wrong! The lens is very very really good and sharp! The only thing I couldn't accept is the focal length. 75mm is too tight! We are shooting in Chow Kit market and the place is tight. So yea, lens tight, place tight, hence my framing also tight. Then I told myself that it is my chance to just get headshot around for facial expression instead of playing with composition. Thus, this post photos all mainly focus on human faces shot by Olympus 75mm f1.8.

* Sharpness in 75mm in f1.8! *

I had to admit I am still not steady enough handling the lens. The market is abit dark in the indoor and I am force to push my camera ISO to 800 to shoot. But then again the shutter hardly reach my desirable value hence most of my shot turn out hand shake blur.. I wonder will the problem fix if I am handling Olympus E-M5, E-P5 or E-M1 which came with 5-Axis image stabilization :P

Overall, great experience with 75mm except it is being too tight and not suitable for the location today. Would be better if I use my 45mm f1.8. Oh well, I guess shooting headshot only wouldn't be that bad also right except those pics came out need really to be sharp. I need practise more!
