I've got the m4/3 45/1.8 so I really don't have a good reason to keep it. And i could make a killing on the MMF-3 adapter. No matter, I put it on my Pen, and it just feels soooo nice.

But as the other posters have noted, I'm looking for a focus. That shot was worth standing and thinking about for a minute. And that's the thing about the City, you don't always lose a shot by ...

The answer to your concern, regrettably, is mostly yes.  North America has never been, even remotely, a center of m4/3 sales. The return on North American events simply doesn't justify the investment.

That's where I'm at. I'm 72 and have an E-M1 that has lots of life. If it does die, I've got an M5MKIII. If that dies, I've got an X100T. And if I die, I guess the family has some cameras to pass ...

...it depends. Went to Europe with an M1MKIII+ 12-40. That covered 3/4 based on my style of shooting. Second body was a GM5+20/1.7. Had a couple other lenses but used infrequently. Here in Arizona, ...

If it wasn't, I'd say you got a bad copy. I have the Lumix 12-60, and accepting the limitations of a kit lens, it's excellent. By way of comparison, I have the Oly 12-40/2.8. The Lumix's range is ...

GM5 rules 😆

I have one GM5, and I baby it.

The site says 7 years from release. I'm a cynic, and am willing to bet that if it's been more than five years, you'll be skating on thin ice. The only way you'll know is if you look on the repair ...

I took the 8-18 to SE Asia three years ago, and found I missed the range from 18-40 more than I used the range from. 8-12. (Obviously, I am using my 12-40 as the comparison). Only you can answer ...

Olympus did the same thing about 2008 or so as I recall. There was one excellent camera store in Phoenix at the time, Photomark, that had a wide range of 4/3s (then) bodies and lenses. Regular ...

Have both the M5MkIII and the M1MKIII. Have to admit the ergonomics of the M1 just blow the M5 away. So, this camera doesn't tick any major boxes for me.

What I don't understand is the decision to...

M1MKIII and 12-40 did 80% of it. GM5 and 15/1.7 did about 10%. The remainder was a couple of other lenses on the M1. After a number of trips to Europe and Southeast Asia, I limit the bodies to two ...

vaporware. And it's been delayed. The enemy of good is perfect. The E-M5 is available, albeit discontinued. Ditto the E-M1. Both VERY good options. I have both. Full disclosure: I use my M1MKIII a ...

and enjoy the lens. Excellent design, but a bit fragile. If you'll use it gently, you'll be surprised by the excellent sharpness and contrast. I always stop my kit lenses down 1/2 stop and am ...

No because that's the best access to the SCP. But that's just me. You can always access it from the EVF. Not as effective for me. The great thing about these cameras is they can work to almost ...

I've got a Pen and an X100T. Love both, use them differently. YMMV...

and digicams in general aren't far behind here. Smart phones are the 800 pound gorilla.

It's perfect for that. My most used primes on my Pen are the PL 15/1.7 and 25/1.4.
