Re: Trimming the m43 fat from my collection and expectations

Forward

60/2.8 macro

25/1.7 Panasonic

45/1.8 Olympus

either upcoming 8-18 and/or 12-60 or 12-100

all depending if I can decide for a 2nd Olympus or Panasonic body (E-PL7 for now).

I will keep the 75-300 since I need to experiment more if I truly want to get into tele-photography (so no reason to spend big bucks yet).

Hopefully somebody will finally produce a WORTHY tough camera (the TG-4 is the best, but not there yet) with add on wet lenses. I am not a big fan of housings. The Sealife camera on the front page again falls short in several aspects, though finally there is a larger sensor.

Trimming

Possibly all my Samsung gear, though I will be sad to let the NX500 go (purely sensor IQ wise). But lack of IBIS / OIS and sealing as well as lack of development means a redecision is in order. If the Pana 8-18 turns out to be really good than I will quite certainly change systems for general photography.
