Re: a few examples with the mk2

AdamT--I got a 5ii a few weeks ago and use it with a 12-40Pro.  I also have an E-M1 but, since getting the 5ii, I only use the E-M1 with the 4/3 lenses, usually the 50-200 SWD and 1.4.  If I could only have one body, it would be the 5ii, and I would just get the 40-150 Pro.  The video is good on the 5ii, the IS is excellent, and I love the flip out screen.  I really like the fit and feel of the 5ii as well.

I'm sending in the E-M1 for a replacement left side eyelet lug and replacement of the top plate and rear dial.  I will defer my long zoom shooting for a few weeks and enjoy the E-M5ii while the E-M1 is gone.   I can lug around an E-5 with the 50-200 SWD for a few weeks.

If I didn't have 6 E-series lenses I would have chosen the E-M5ii over the E-M1, I think.
