OM-D EM1 to OM-D EM1 Mark III or X-T4

those primes are nice but also make the system big and heavy at that point you can bring in Fuji f1.4/ f2.0 primes to the equation

I personally have never held my Oly F1.2's and thought they were big and heavy. Maybe compared to the Fuji F2.0 primes, sure, but those are a different animal, and not F1.2 lenses

This person compared the 35 1.4 Fuji to the Oly 25 1.2 and I actually greatly preferred the Oly OOF rendering:

Needless to say both companies make outstanding glass

I agree I never once thought that my f/1.2 lenses were big nor heavy with my Oly bodies. I don't really see any problem with most systems since I usually have 'small' and 'large' lenses with all of them including my DSLR systems over the years.

Both systems are/were wonderful, and I'd be happy to use either M43 or Fuji X any day of the year, it's amazing the gear we have available to us these days. 😁

(also those f/1.2 Oly lenses were beautiful pieces of gear and a perfect size to me haha, I would love to have a bunch of Fuji lenses that same size to use with the X-H1 all the time haha)

Edit: Just to add a quick thought, I also think that the Oly Pro primes are just the right size for the E-M1ii handling wise. The smaller premium lenses (the f/1.8 glass) always felt a little too small for that body, but perfect for my E-M5ii which felt 'complete' with the 25mm f/1.8 on it. The lenses fit well enough on whichever of the two bodies I used, but I did prefer the size proportions in that way the best. (same with Fuji X bodies and their lens lineup)
