No, the forum should not be split. There is just as much discussion about lenses as bodies, and since the lenses are interchangeable between systems, the bodies are generally of interest to all MFT users (except those who are die-hard brand-boys).

A Canon user isn't that interested in reading about Nikon gear and v.v. because in order to actually switch one would have to sell off an entire system, or go with two separate systems. With MFT, however, it's very easy to switch body brands because all of the lenses and most accessories are interchangeable. So, even though I've used Panny bodies until now, I'm very interested in reading about Oly's latest and greatest.

Your so backwards.

You are making things up. I never said I hate Olympus.  I never said your gear sucks or you take Oh no, out of focus pictures, heaven forbid I go there, its BS. I made my point with what I do as far as what gear I use and that is it period. It will never change.

TO what I said and this is the last time I am responding to this.

I said you shop for a camera first and look for accessories second.  You don't not buy a set of new tires for a car and then shop for a car.   You buy the car and then add options that are extra it does not matter who makes the extras, but you still have the car your customizing.

You get what you need later after the body.  camera bag ,tripod,different strap, flash, strobes, radio slaves whatever

You don't go into a camera store and say I want a lens that does wide angle to telephoto and it has to be a zoom lens.  How can you start showing lenses if you don't figure out the camera body first.

I can show you every camera body that you can change lenses with and then you talk specifics

Your not going to change my mind.  Same as my personal belief and how I use my camera gear.

End of thread.

It is the MICRO FOUR THIRDS forums and it just so happens that both Olympus and Panasonic make bodies for the system. As you point out half the posts here are about lenses and the split would get too confusing.

Also, since lenses last longer, many here are looking for new bodies and want to compare. Hence all the EM5 vs. GH3, PEN vs. GFx, etc. threads.

The Canon lens forum is NOT split in to Canon, Sigma, Tamron, etc. because some guy hates Tamron
