I'm in a bit of a quandary. I have a m4/3 kit based around an EM1 mki, EM10, and EP5 with the Olympus f2.8 zooms and 4 nice primes. At this stage I'm looking to get more into video - i already shoot quite a bit - and so I want a more video capable camera with 4K. The EM1 mkii would be nice but doesn't have all the video functions I need so consequently I'm looking at the GH5. My question is the Panasonic DFD focus is based only upon Panasonic lens profiles so if I get a GH5 will using my Olympus lenses mean decreased AF performance and so will I need to start acquiring Panasonic lenses as well?

Paul I use an Olympus 40-150 f2.8 pro lens with my gx8 and it focuses so fast and so accurate that none of my Panasonic f2.8 pro lenses can compete. And that's real world usage. Mainly indoor/outdoor sports and bird's in flight.
