EM-1 ii, Pen-F, Panasonic lx10, and an iphone7+.  The Pen-f with 17mm f/1.8 or 25mmf/1.8 goes together with the em1ii  with 12-100 in an ONA Bowery bag, nice and pretty small all together. The lx10 fits a pocket when I don't want to carry a bag, and the iphone is always with me.

Like many of us, I've gone through entire series of cameras, driven in major part by irrational GAS, ranging up to Sony A7rii and even a Sony Rx1rii, as well as Fuji. ebay makes this all too easy. But I've been very happy with the current setup. Reasonably lightweight, given the range of focal lengths and wonderful capabilities, especially the IBIS combined with the 12-100, which lets me shoot handheld at incredibly low shutter speeds to keep the ISO low  for landscapes and architecture. Even the high-res is useful on the em1ii when nothing is moving except water, though it means carrying a tripod - have had success with a lightweight, carbon Sirui tripod  so long as I use an attached shutter release.

These days I mostly display online or - recently - on a Memento 4k, 35" digital wall frame. The Memento is quite spectacular as long as you dont't view it from more than about a 45deg angle, and the Olympus images look wonderful on it. I do also print, usually 13x19, with great results.

Of course the Olympus menus are complicated, but once they're set up (the same way on both Olympus cameras) then it all works very well. Moreover I can now save the settings for the em1ii. Wish I could also do so for the Pen-F.
