New Gear Day!
Sometimes, the best days came from unexpected setbacks.
During our recent trip to Penang, our trusty little Lumix GX85 gave up on us. The shutter got stuck, and just like that, we were left without one of our favourite cameras. After asking around, we found someone who could repair it—but that meant waiting.
Finding a Backup
While waiting for the GX85 to be fixed, we couldn’t just sit still. So we headed to our trusted shop, Altech Camera, and picked up a pre loved Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark IIIwith a 14–42mm kit lens as a backup.
We didn’t film that visit, but it felt like the right move—practical, and a little exciting too.
One More Thing…
Not long after, we came across another gem at Altech—a M.Zuiko 12mm f/2.0 lens. It was compact, fast, and perfect for the kind of shots we loved.
There was no hesitation. I called a Grab, headed straight there, and brought it home.
A Happy Return
Then came the call we had been waiting for.
Danny, the repairman, told us our GX85 was ready. Even better, he delivered it to us personally while he was in the area. When we held it again, it felt like an old friend had returned.
We were genuinely overjoyed.
A Small Celebration
With:
• A newly acquired backup camera
• A beautiful new lens
• And our beloved GX85 back in action
…it felt like the perfect moment to pause and appreciate it all.
So we made a short video to share our new gear and celebrate the return of our little camera that had been with us through so many journeys.
Back to the Journey
This was a small detour, but one that mattered to us.
Now that everything is back in place, we’re ready to continue our adventures as usual.
Stay tuned—regular programming resumes in the next post. 🎥✨
