When you have GAS and no money...

Re: When you have GAS and no money...

Hey Klarno-

I had a GAS related quandry- you have the 14-54 mkII and the mZuiko 14-42 IIR- is it worth spending the extra money to get the EM1 if you have the 14-54 mkI for use as PDAF as compared to the images you get with the 14-42 IIR? Basically is the 14-54 worth paying a lot extra for the EM1 over the EM10 in order to preserve its compatibility? Or is the mZ 14-42 IIR "good enough" considering the EM10 with 14-42 and 40-150 can be had for $600, while the EM1 with mmf adapter would be >$1000? (I also have an old 40-150 mkI 3.5-4.5 which probably isn't as sharp as the mZuiko 40-150, but still makes nice images on my e520)? Thinking of the contrast, quality, etc. There are no camera stores near me which have EM1s in stock for me to see myself in looking to upgrade from my e520.  Especially as you listed the e520 as a previous stock for yourself.
