Just completed my M43 system

Well, a bit of a luxury I know, but having one purple blob too many on my Olympus / Panasonic 7-14 F4 combination, I finally gave in and traded the lens in for a shiny new Olympus 7-14 F2.8 Pro (completing my trinity of pro lenses). Yes it's bigger and bulkier than the older Panasonic but absolutely superb in every way and tack sharp throughout the focal range and at any aperture - OK, it's very slightly soft at the extreme edges @ 7mm and F2.8 but I think I can forgive it that.

So he's is my dream team.

Shown is the following

Olympus OMD-EM1 with battery grip (main camera)

Olympus OMD-EM5-II (with half it's battery grip)

Olympus 7-14 F2.8 Pro

Olympus 12-40 F2.8 Pro

Olympus 40-150 F2.8 Pro

Olympus 60mm F2.8 Macro

Olympus 17mm F1.8

Olympus 45mm F1.8

Panasonic Leica 25mm F1.4

Also have (but not shown) - the 1.4 converter for the 40-150, and Panasonic 100-300 OIS (soon to be sold), Lee Sev5n Filter system (Big & Little stopper and ND Grads) and a Panasonic DMW-FL360LE flash .

I think my M43 kit is now complete. Also, just sold my D750 so on full frame as I didn't use it with also having a D810, so still have change over after trading in the Panny 7-14 and selling the D750, so I have my new lens and still financially better off !

Must stop spending now.

Nice but not quite complete... you need the 75/1.8... probably the best of all

Missing Oly 8mm f1.8....

Now I'm questioning my decision to buy an Epson P800 printer, rather then a few pieces in this kit...alas there is always next paycheck

Haha - thanks all.

I didn't say I had or wanted all the best M43 lenses, just that I'd completed the list of lenses that suit my style of photography. Whilst I'm sure the 75mm and new 8mm Pro are great lenses, they just are not my cuppa tea - i.e. no real use for them.

The above may look big and heavy but when you think I've come from a Nikon 14-24 F2.8, Nikon 24-70 F2.8, Nikon 70-200 F2.8 VR II, Nikon 300mm F2.8 VR, Nikon 105mm F2.8 Macro, 50mm F1.4 and a Sigma 35mm F1.4, which have all gradually been sold off, then this little lot is tiny and featherweight in comparison, and all fits into my medium size Lowepro back pack. That's something I couldn't do with the Nikon lenses, as I had to cull down what lenses I would take for each photo trip to the bare minimum, and even then, taking all the above is still lighter !

Try voigtlander 17.5 f0.95 and find out another story.

I continue to be disappointed that I can only use one body and one lens at any particular instant. That said, my disappointment does not seem to prevent me from purchasing additional bodies and lenses.

Nice that you can say that you have completed your kit for your style of photography. I certainly haven't!

F.

I wish I knew myself when this madness will end....Just added a 25mm 1.8 to my fold.....

When you run out of money. I've found no other cure.

Are you a professional photographer ?

Very nice kit! I just added the Oly 12mm 2.0.

I need to stop. The cash is all gone on photo goodies.
