Hey all,

So life happened and I was forced to sell off all my cameras a few years ago. And I am now looking at getting back into photography. So, I was looking at the various systems, and it looks like I am going to go back to Olympus.

So, this time around I have a fairly tight budget as far as body (or I would be getting an OM-D), but in the end I want either a 25/1.4 or a 17/1.8 and a body… so I am limiting my targets.

There are three bodies I am looking at, all Olympus: E-PM2, E-PL5 and E-P3. These are all within a $150 range. What would your recommendations be?

Old cameras were E-1s, Leica M6TTL or Contax rangefinders. Prefer street photography and portraiture.

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks!

E-Pl5 : has a much better sensor than the E-P3. Has a fillip up LCD which is a dream for street photography : you can use it at waist level touch the display to focus where you want.. Or even touch the display to focus and shoot in one single gesture.
