Nice work. The Leica 15mm really seems to be a very good pairing with the E-P7.

How long have you had the E-P7?

Pretty shortly after it was released... like within a month? I had to import from Japan ordering from amazon.co.jp.

My E-P5 is getting a bit long in the tooth and during covid isolation I completely missed the E-P7 announcement. Seems like the biggest improvement is the 20mp sensor and (if you like it) the fancy mode dial from the Pen F. Your thoughts?

A bit more than that. It has the newer processor the EM5.3 and EM10MarkIV have, making it faster to AF. But basically that's about it. IBIS improved slightly over EPL9/10. It also has Bulb mode on the dial like EM5.3.

It's more of an "EPL11" than an "EP7."

It would be truly great if OMDS could give this camera class the new OM1 sensor along with a lot of the AF, or perhaps PenF II (with tilt LCD like this one).

The UI dealing with the color/monochrome profiles has been improved / better organized over the PenF's.  Shares the same profiles.
