Not quite satisfied with E-PM2

Re: Not quite satisfied with E-PM2

I have an e-pm2 (as well as the e-m1).

I use it exclusively with the vf2 and panasonic 20mm.  I find that to be a very flexible combination that produces results on a par with the e-m1.

To me, the vf2 is what makes the package (I understand the vf4 is better still).  It doesn't add too much bulk (whole thing still fits in a small case) and gives me a connection to the shot that I just don't get with the rear lcd.

The e-pm2 has been criticised for the limited array of external controls.  That's definitely the case, but (as you've probably discovered) it has a surprising amount of the functionality of the e-m1 when you know where to look. Once you're on top of the button presses needed to access/change settings, that can all be done without taking your eye away from the viewfinder.

I'd try and get hold of a vf2 or vf4 before abandoning the e-pm2.
