Re: M4/3 to 1", now back to M4/3

I also accumulated lenses to have on hand something for every possibility only to realize I didn't want to carry them all or need them all. Most where hardly ever used. I sold most off to lighten the load and find I can make do with something if not the perfect lens, that if the parameters fell into the capability the lens could manage, the results are the same.

Now I shoot mostly the two PRO zooms, 12-40 and 40-150+ the TC and find I rarely need anything else, a fisheye that I de-fish, the 75-300 and 1.8 17 on occasion.

I keep the PL-7 as a light weight travel kit with the 14-150 and the 17 f/2.8. Its all I really need. An EM-5 backs up the EM-1 since I read so much about quality issues with EM-1's but haven't seen them. As I gain confidence with the EM-1 I'm thinking the EM-5 and the fisheye might be a good trade for a wide zoom or prime.

The OM adaptor and 135 f/28, and 50 f/1.4, the Four Thirds adaptor and the 50 f/2 macro. Even the 1.8 75. Great lens but I don't l find myself using it. PM1, and PM2.

Good gear, but maybe better to trade in on something I would use.
