Thanks guys, I think the em1.2 is getting to the type of camera Im after in m43. low light focus tracking. i rely on hybrid in sony and nikon, both perform FAST.

But Oly has the f2.8 pro lens system.

So perhaps I could get the em.1 and try to stay in C-AF, its not going to hurt anything right?

if i want to go to 300mm, which is the best bang for buck in m43? I had the 100-300 with my gx85 before I returned it. it was great on a tripod, but not so much handheld, perhaps it was the cdaf i dont know. but if oly has a good version id prefer to stay all oly. although i do like the look of the pana 35-100 f2.8, it could be a start before getting the 40-150 oly. i try to wait for used items to pop up.

ive considered trying to import via ebay, i just dont know how safe a lens is sent internationally, i guess companies do it so if the person isnt a douche, it should be ok.....

Folks seem pretty happy with the Oly 75-300, provided there's good light. The 100-400 and 300 Pro are in another league altogether but much bigger investments. For the E-M1 adapting a 4/3 50-200/2.8-3.5 is a viable option and the EC14 TC takes it to 283mm. Could be hard to find one at this point, though.

You might look at used gear from the good US retailers like KEH and B&H, who are well versed shipping internationally. ebay is such a crapshoot but quite few folks here use it to buy from ebay stores based in Japan, Hong Kong and the like that have long sales histories.

Cheers,

Rick
