I also have an E-m5 and am very happy with it. However, I really got to like and use the WiFi in the E-P5 and miss that feature in the E-M5.1. I hope that Olympus will replace the auto-focus circuit board so that I can keep using the E-P5 till the E-M1.2 is released.

I started my photography hobby in the late 1960's with an Olympus Pen-FT and have stuck with Olympus every since. I really appreciate the retro styling of the E-P5 and it's strong resemblance to the Pen-FT.

Hi Jay,

I started using Olympus in 1973 as soon as the OM-1 was introduced. I had one of the first OM-1 in Colorado; my cousin shipped it to me from Japan. I have been with Olympus almost the entire time since. I understand your love of the cameras and sticking with the name.

As an aside, my first OM-1 came with a lens catalog that had several "announced" lenses that never saw the light of day (pun intended). There was a 160mm f/3.5 and a 300mm f/6.3 in that catalog. I wrote to Olympus at one point (around 1980?) to inquire if any prototypes of either lens might be available. I got a nice and polite reply thanking me for my interest in Zuiko lenses. They suggested that the 200mm f/4 and 300mm f/4.5 would be my best choices.
