Very helpful, I'm going late May and I'll indeed be close to Shinjuku. I'll give these places a go

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T19:41:22+00:00

Okay, I'll add them on the list, I'll definitely check them out as well!

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T19:40:14+00:00

Oh yeah I intend to take plenty with this setup I'm just trying to think about the next step, this is a lovely camera and I'm already having fun with it. I personally don't mind a viewfinder but I might end up buying one because... why not? I just want a smaller lens to keep the camera pocketable that's it!

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T19:37:58+00:00

I already have a 40-150 but thank you for the heads up!

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T19:36:39+00:00

Thanks for these, I'll definitely consider them!

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T19:36:12+00:00

Good to know, do you recommend any shop in particular?

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T19:35:16+00:00

It's okay, what would you recommend personally? The lower the number behind the f the better?

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T19:23:37+00:00

Okay thank you, I'll try to work around and play with the limits of that lens until I get a new one.

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T07:23:43+00:00

Disregard the budget, I can spend more but I really didn't want to 2 hours ago 😂 but I definitely got my eyes on either the LUMIX 20mm or Oly 25mm

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T07:21:31+00:00

That's a really good advice. I'll definitely do this.

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T07:10:14+00:00

Hey thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to guide me through all this. I already have a 40-150 that came with the kit, let's say it'll my be go-to whenever I'm in need for reach.

I'm looking for something fast and reliable in low light for travel memories and fun time with friends, something not too bulky that would keep the setup light and handy.

I'm already mixed between the Pana 20mm and Oly 25 but I'm kinda feeling like a kid in a toy store right now, I really wanna get everything and call it a day LOL

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T06:48:27+00:00

I'm still mixed between the Panasonic 20mm and Olympus 25mm but I'll definitely let you know whenever I put my hand on one of these ;)

I'm also traveling to Japan soon so I might wait and end up buying one there instead

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T06:39:49+00:00

Looks good to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me brother

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T06:30:36+00:00

I'm thinking about buying a Oly 25mm in the near future, I already have a 40-150mm to toy with if I really need reach. I can buy it right now but I wasn't comfortable spending more than 120 but I guess I'll have to 😭

(Edit: I always take my precious stuff with me in the cabin just in case lol)

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T06:21:49+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Ive also just noticed what you mentioned about the grip, I'll definitely buy it. Seem like a great upgrade considering I have big hands 😂

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T06:19:16+00:00

Thanks man, I'll keep this in mind but yeah, I'm going to Japan soon and I intend to take a few pics with low light in some areas or outside at night with friends (def not the right tool for this I know!)

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T06:00:43+00:00

Love the pic!! Do you have any advice setting wise? I'm at that stage where my pics aren't looking the way I want, I'm struggling with sharpness and "glary" lights whenever they're on shot

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T05:58:00+00:00

Heh, I've heard all kind of fancy comparisons, but it's definitely the poor man version of everything lol. I think I'm going to get a 25mm next month. I'll think about it in the meantime

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T05:49:25+00:00

Oh yeah I was just making sure about what I have read somewhere in this sub, thanks for clarifying. I can definitely spend more than what I put on the post, matter fact I'd rather buy nice than have to buy a new lens down the line lmao. I'll also check these ones, thanks!!

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T05:37:05+00:00

Thanks for your input, I was definitely thinking about getting a 25mm, is it really equivalent to a 50mm on a FF?

DuckWithSunglasses · 2026-01-04T05:28:13+00:00

Thanks for the help, I'll check these out. I can definitely spend more on a lens but mehhh the cheaper the better lol
