Brand New E-M1 arrived today :)
2

My new E-M1 arrived today and despite the cloudy weather, rain and wind etc I managed to get some time to try my new E-M1 out. There was not much light poking through after my camera arrived but a few brief moments of sun or half clear sky allowed to take some test shots with my 40-150 pro + TC.

Verdict it seems to pass the IQ test well considering the weather wasn't the best. All happy with my 1st few shots and ready to get back into some BIF and action shots when the clouds go away.

Here are a few

Mooooo

Dusky Moorhen

Looks like it did just fine with CIF (cow in field) and BOC (birds on cow). Have fun with your new camera and fancy lens. : )

Good Kit to start.
I think since you enjoyed the 40-150 PRO
the next logical lens is the 12-50 PRO.
You might not feel the need for primes.
in my case. Money is a big issue so I end up
Buying regular zooms and Primes.
now I have accepted the fact that I will no longer have pro zooms:(

The 12-40 pro and 60mm macro were my 1st lens I got for old e-m1 over a year ago. I use it for my business product shots, textures and family shots

My next logical step would be the 300 f4 since I mainly shoot birds, animals and macro and have Already have 12-40, 60mm macro and 40-150 + MC-14

Sorry should have mentioned my old e-m1 died in my 1st post
