Nothing is better than a good day with friends. If photos are possible even better!! All the best to you Matti, and to all those good friends. And if One of you are ever in Lisbon, Portugal it would be my pleasure to guide a photowalk through Lisbon.
Hi Robin …what a great video…friends hanging out together capturing superb images of your country and sharing with us. It’s a pleasure to watch . I may have to dust off the EP1 and the 17 mm 2.8…they are currently languishing on my display shelf as I usually take out my EPL8 with the Lumix 20mm 1.7. Great to see Matti with you, look forward to seeing more vids of you both & friends.
It's a cute little lens and camera isn't it. I love the group and seeing these guys on your walks. I imagine you guys walking through the city laughing hopped up on expensive coffee, descending upon an unsuspecting shopkeeper, taking 10 photos and leaving giggling the whole time.
Nothing better than going for a photowalk with friends! Love your videos Robin! Robin and friends if any of you come to Lisbon, Portugal I would be delighted to guide you thru Lisbon for a photowalk. All the best to you all and have fun in great company. Looking forward for future videos.
@@robinwong you are more than welcome!! Matti knows I am a good chaperone hehehe!! All the best to you, your family and friends. Best of sucess, eager for more good photography videos.
I really enjoyed watching this photowalk video and I love the shot while the cat jumped. Thanks for sharing. You got 1 like from me. Greetings from Singapore.
Great seeing the two of you, I hope you both had a blast! I have the 17 2.8 and was trying to use it for video and found the noise it made while trying to focus was way too loud. I switched to the 17mm 1.8 and LOVE the lens for photos and videos! I would definitely recommend the 1.8 over the 2.8 unless you want the smaller form factor.
The 17mm F2.8 was the first Micro Four Thirds lens, and was not designed for video AF. The optimization for video work happens much later. I don't recommend to use it for video work.
Hi Robin! I always enjoy seeing your photo walks with friends (nice to see Matti too!) I know some TH-cam photographers set up photo trips to exotic places for groups of amateur photographers. Have you ever considered doing something like that for Malaysia? Having someone who knows the country and is a good communicator and photographer as a guide might inspire people to sign up. It looks like you guys had a fun time!
Hey Robin (so cool to call another person using my name heh). That is an interesting idea and definitely worth exploring in the future. I have quite a bit of things happening in my life right now, so won't be doing anything crazy any time soon. But thanks for suggesting!
I had the silver version which came with the Ep1...I know it's sharp enough for regular use...now I have the black version ...still great ...small and super light
Great Video. Two of the mFT Legends in one Video. Unfortunately Matti came with Sony and not with some Panasonic Gear. One Question Robin. Sometimes you say something that sounds to me like "ringedingdingding". I've tried to find what this could means on Malay but I haven't found anything.
That looked like a lot of fun. Great to see Matti there also. I hope he puts up a video for his adventure. Question…When you take photos of the people on the street and vendors, do you ever print out the photos and give them a copy?
Thanks, it was indeed very run! I am sure Matti will be making content in KL soon. Stay tuned! I don't print out images, but if they requested I will email them the JPEG files.
I just ordered an EP3 from Japan after watching your videos. I have an outdated EPL1, and needed a camera with autofocus and after seeing your videos, I think I'll pair the Ep3 with a 17mm 2.8 since ill mostly use flash at night
Indeed, sometimes it just the fact of being with friends and enjoying the walk. I can't believe how they packing in the motorbikes in that marketplace!!!
Because motorcycles are much cheaper than cars, it is a popular mode of transport here. So the place having fully park motorbikes is a common scene here.
Looks like a fun outing. Matti did not behave like the stereo-type reserved Finn. I have both the 17mm F1.8 and F2.8. In spite of the specifications, I prefer the results from the 2.8 pancake lens. I use it for candid photos of the family and vacation travel. Not sure why there are different results. Could be the pancake lens renders differently or more likely I use the lenses differently.
Robin Wong is alive and well, don't worry!
Nice to see you two together :)
Is this really Robin...? Matti? What's your favorite food?
Hey Robin. (Not entirely related with the vid but) what is your favourite 8mp and under camera so far?
Awesome video! Big thanks to Azul for leading us through Kampung Baru.
It was an impromptu walk 😁
Nothing is better than a good day with friends. If photos are possible even better!! All the best to you Matti, and to all those good friends. And if One of you are ever in Lisbon, Portugal it would be my pleasure to guide a photowalk through Lisbon.
Oh yessss, Azul the boss!
@@robinwong The blind leading the blind 😄
Hanging out with friends with a common interest is one of the great joys in life!
I agree! I wish it was like that near me. The only person I know that shoots is my brother and he lives an hour away
Indeed, John, hanging out with like-minded people is very healing
Very true! It's such a fun time to have!
OMG! Best collaboration ever!
Thanks! It was fun making the video
Robin, you cat portrait was fantastic!!
Good to see Matti escaping Europe.
I love the cat too!
Great photos from the photowalk! Seems like good fun with your friends.
Thanks, it was a fun session indeed.

Thanks Alan, a huge part of photowalking with friends is having fun! And yes, do bring out the 17mm and E-P1 out for some shoots
The 17mm f2.8 is one of my all time favorites. It also has a really close focusing distance. This lens is such a character!
Yeap such an enjoyable lens to use!
@@robinwong hi Robin. If I have option- should I got 17 mm 1.8? Whats pro and cons of using f2.8?
Love to see you two together!
Thanks, happy to have Matti here

Thanks, we had too much fun. We probably should do more coffee next, the place we went to did not have expensive coffee along the way.

Thanks so much for the offer André, I really appreciate that. Lisbon seems like a really awesome place to shoot.

Nice meetup. Sometimes it's all about having fun together taking photos, no matter what gear you have. You do great photos with this combo.
Thanks for the kind words, and yes, it is important to just get out and have fun!
Fantastic to see Matti with you and your friends in KL, Robin. Now he needs to return the favour and invite you to Finland 🙂
I have invited Robin many times already😀
One day maybe!
Super fun photo walk , great lens & shots taken with that Olympus 👌🔥
Thanks Syafiq, loving the camera and lens combo too

Thanks Cheiko, appreciate the kind words, and yeah I wish the camera had less lag, to mail the mid jump better!

I discovered accidentally that this humble lens is fantastic for video, but it was in noisy locations throughout.

That's a good idea, because I think Malaysia is a nice place for foreign tourists anyway!
Nice 👍🏻. Awesome to see both of you doing some street shooting 👍🏻
Thanks Dominique, and yes, it was so fun shooting the streets
Cool! Fun to see the MFT photography community mesh this way!!
I think it is beyong just Micro Four Thirds, we all use any cameras that we love.
True, but the MFT foo is strong in both of you. ;)
Very cool. Two of my faves right there. & the food always looks so wonderful.
Thanks, happy to have Matti here!
Hello Robin, a great idea, and very cool friends with you. Greetings to Matti and everyone else.
Enjoyed to see you both together on a photo walk!
Thanks Guy!
I had the silver version which came with the Ep1...I know it's sharp enough for regular use...now I have the black version ...still great ...small and super light
yes, for casual shooting the lens works well
Excellent fun ,! Image stabilization bicycle had me laughing!
Can't wait to see the results!
Great Video and Great Information. Thank You Robin.
Thanks Doug, glad you liked the video!

I recently asked the same question. It means "Thank you".
@@ceaabe Thanks for that answer. I guessed so but I wanted to get sure.
Thanks Michael, and yes, I was saying Thank You repeatedly very quickly.
It's such a versatile and fun lens for street photography. It looks cool on my EMI MARK II. Unassuming with great image quality
Nice, I watch both of your chanel!

I admit technically the F2.8 older version has more technical flaws and issues, but I prefer the outcome from the older version vs the new F1.8 lens.
Very,very good. You all are amazing.
OK right off the bat seeing Matti was excellent!
Shutter Therapy - I Like It!
Me too
Thanks. Have more fun.
We will!
It was a shutter therapy that made me feel happy when I was watching.
Thanks, glad the video made you happy!
$ony? Noooooooo Oh well the days of wine and roses are gone. Love your shots Robin!!
Looks like you guys had a fun time. Robin, what mode are you shooting in? Manual, Aperture / Shutter priority or Auto? Thank you
Great group of Friends!
Indeed they are!
Thank you :)
Cheers Lecky
THANK YOU!!🏵🌻
