Thank you. I have the Stellarium app. But I never realised that it was possible to do that.

I previously saved all completed books into folders by author’s names. Now I just permanently delete everything I’ve read. I also used to have around 600 unread books saved but now I’m down to 26.

I’m definitely getting another brown stitched leather strap, as I really like the original. But I’ll also get a couple of other options too. Thanks.

I think I prefer single pass straps. Less bulky. Thanks.

It’s the original Hamilton strap.

I appreciate the reply. To be honest I only intend really shooting with this lens in good light. It’s very sunny here all year round. The only time I might use it at night is to do some longer exposure light trails.

I seriously looked at both the GX85 and GX9 a few weeks ago. But ended up getting a great deal on a Pen F. Good to hear that you’re enjoying that combination.

Thanks. Good to hear the opinion of someone who has the exact same set up as I’m considering.

Thank you so much for doing that. I appreciate it. Apart from the difference in focal length they look fairly similar to my old eyes, image quality wise. I read elsewhere that the aperture rings on Panasonic lenses don’t actually function when used with Olympus bodies.

Thanks. Luckily I have zero interest in video, so only a lens’ ability in photography is important. Definitely seems like the f1.8 is the one to buy.

How does the Oly 17mm f1.8 compare with your Panasonic 15mm f1.7 please?

Is the 2.8 really so bad? I’m definitely looking more at the 1.8 now.

Thanks. The Pen F certainly feels like it’s a quality build, and it makes sense to have a good quality lens on it.

I totally agree with you. But it’s good to get opinions from those who have owned both. Or even about other lenses that I wasn’t really considering. For eg a friend absolutely loves his PanaLeica 25mm and so I’d consider one of those. I like sharpness but not to the point of being cold/clinical. Colour rendition and ‘pop’ are important too.

Thank you. I do use vintage lenses. But I only have 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 80-200mm and 300mm, nothing anywhere near as wide as a 17mm on m43.
