Olympus is a great choice. My photography kakis said so.

Olympus colours are gorgeous and I love the skin tone it produces.

The jpegs out from camera are quite punchy.

Just wondering, if I attach a wide angle lens on my D5200 (crop sensor); can I achieve a full frame picture?

Which ever lens you attached to a crop sensor camera body, the angle of view will be narrower than a full frame sensor cam unless you use the metabones adapter....can't remember what is the name of the product and it may not have one for Nikon mount, for Sony if I'm not wrong.

Edit: have a look at this vidoeo

To Wade:

no point fiddling over the things that you wan to buy. just learn to shoot first with watever that you have. once you have feel that watever equipment you have cannot achieve the shots that you wan, then you buy. I have seen too many beginners keep on buying stuff that they dont need or worse, have no idea on how to use. there's quite alot of experts here i believe can answer ur questions on achieving different shooting styles.

just my 2 cents.

totally agreed, was using the kit lens on my EM10 for 2 months until recently when got the 25mm.

had a friend asked me what other lens to buy when getting the EM10, as she was intended to buy everything one shot. just told her to use the kit lens first and only get additional lens when she has an idea what she likes to shoot, as there's no one size fits all and everyone have different affinity to the kind of shots they like, eg. landscape. street, architecture portrait, bokeh...etc...

i believe its more important to train the eye with limited resources, which would lead to greater creativity.

To hisokaka & ckw,

agreed with your comment and I'm contented with my current D5200 & Nikon 35mm f/1.8.
I use it whenever I on holiday trip for portrait & landscape shots; just love the DOF...

thats an excellent choice (35mm f1.8) for holiday shots. For APS-C format, it becomes 50mm FOV which is the normal view. For landscape, u can try to take a few shots and stitch them together. for portrait, its abit wide but still doable. its a perfect street shooting lens imo.

I love the 35mm lens for the speed and can't stand the kit lens as it sllooowwww

u referring to aperture i assume? coz the af speed is slow haha

yes, the 35mm is a cheap but extremely good lens. i even cheated and use it on full frame with minimal vignette

1.8 on fullframe

1.8 on fullframe

I think D5200 crop sensor can't achieve this but I think I need to move backward to have achieve your photo.

u mean the dof and fov? yes, there is no way to achieve the same unless u are mount a 23mm 1.2 on aps-c but thats pointless. u should be able to achieve great looking shots with 50mm fov. just practise practise and more practise.

Some shots of 50mm fov for ur inspirations

Wah poison...but if i spend on photography it would be on lenses. Come to think of it, I've been eyeing the Sigma 15mm fisheye lens for quite a while but afraid that it might not get used often.
