Hi,

Advice will be appreciated regarding choice of more or less universal and afordble tele lens (~ 70-250-300 equiv FL) on m43.

There are several lenses in this class - but my knowledge is of the expensive 200/2.8 + teleconverters - others are better placed to advise on this.

From begining- decided to migrate from Canon APSC to smaller/ lighter setup.

As for walkaround/ travel/ everyday camera almost choosed lx100 m1, question on second body for tele end, as well as some art etc.

Regarding body- yet looks like gx80 is way to go.

I have the GX85 (GX80) and others - the GX80 is a fine camera body.

( touched in local camera shop oly omd e-m10 mark3; pana g7 and gx80 - definately oly isn't for my hands, g7 feels perfect; but due to size gx80 looks more prefferable) ( but not so categorical against body size- g7 also seems an option).

On Canon i have Canon 70-200/4 and Sigma 50-150/2,8. Both with positive feelings- for me most favorite is Sigma; for my wife Canon ( mainly due to weight).

So is here comparable alternative on m43 for those lenses, especially taking in account than I'm not willing to spend on this setup (body +lens) roughly more than ~800-900 € ( if buying second hand)?

Also- how about efs- m43 adapters- maybe option is adapter to use Canon lenses on m43? Just afraiding than focusing speed will be quite unacceptable in this case?

You can get to use your EF lenses on a M4/3 body quite cheaply if you were willing to give up AF.  Jintu makes a very cheap electronic adapter EF-M4/3 for MF-only but gives full camera-lens communication including aperture control from camera body and IS in the lens.  It does not support focus by wire.

If on a budget the Viltrox adapters do a reasonable job of AF as well but are not as fully compatible with EF lenses in general as Metabones adapters are.

Thanks for opinions!
