My thoughts in response, no particular order....

1 - If you're going to use this to shoot kids playing soccer, invest in a decent monopod. Your shoulders will thank you. (I really like my Sirui P326 with Benro IH0 ball head)

2 - Learn what the different IBIS modes are and why you'd choose one over the other.

3 - When not using a monopod, cradle the lens in your left hand and just use your right hand to control the camera body. Much easier this way.

4 - Start saving for the MC14. Trust me.

5 - If you think this is big, go try a Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM.

6 - The tripod mount ring is removeable. I've never done so though.

7 - Check out the ThinkTank Digital Holster 10 V2.0, it fits my E-M5.2 with ECG2 clone and the 40-150 with MC14.

Thanks for the feedback. Great, now it is an E-M1, and MC14.....
