Great deal.  US is USD 1600

Might be the answer to get around CDAF issues.

I like the 12-60 range and think something like a Laowa 7.5/2 or 9/2.8 would fit the bill for lightweight The 9 has very low distortion for a UWA of any type.  The 7.5 is about the widest ...

Given the price of the EM1 Mk2, how is it compared to the G9?

The Mk3 seems crazy expensive in comparison

Thanks

Since 2011

Thanks for that. I was going to correct that misstatement also on the GX7 10 bit

While I have been a MFT user since 2011, and fan of the format, I also look at practicality, and if you are invested in a system, there would have to be a very good reason to switch systems. ...

I do use some older tele lenses vintage 70’s Nikon F 180/2.8 and 105/1.8 The IBIS on my G85 makes a noticeable difference to the very rudimentary IBIS on my GX7.  The images are not afflicted with ...

Yes the GM1 is my backup body/2nd body on trips. I use a G85 now as primary

It was very hard to learn BBF on my GX7 when shooting old airplanes.  I did find a lack of keepers using just the SAF shutter button press The next time I did this I reconfigured the GX7 for BBF as ...

FWIW, I have been using Panasonic bodies since 2011. Ever since the original GX7, with it -4 EV CDAF, using SAF, focus hunting has become a thing of the past with the 45 and even with the 20/1.7 i ...

It depends on your preferred focal length and camera and history of photos. If you are used to traditional SLR focal lengths the Panasonic 30 mm equivalent may be neither here nor there for you, ...

Of course, it depends on what is affordable. For me, an affordable kit was the G85 and 12-60, both ar WR.  I brought this on a trip to Europe along with the 14-140, and felt that for most of my ...

interesting  I have both lenses and have not noticed a difference in speed nor have I ever had the 12-60 hunt at least on SAF even at 6400 iso I do not do CAF

I have the same question as OP  I will be shooting vintage aircraft this summer and need to use relatively slow shutter speeds of 1/200 or lower to get propeller blur, slower if I want a propeller ...

+1 on below i have no direct experience with the Leica 12-60, but lots with the LUMIX 12-60 and I like the focal length so much I have drifted away from my 12-35 as my standard zoom, especially ...

while I always compose in 4:3 (with some exceptions) I find I am agnostic using “standard” formats of 16:9 3:2 1:1 and 4:3 depending on how it act comes out.  Frequently the photo benefits from ...

From my unscientific sample of 1 person, Panasonic have been very reliable cams. The only one I have bought new is the GH1 on closeout LX-5, GF1, GX1, GX7, GM1, G85 have all been bought used on ...

May be a little off topic since the sensor now exists I thought that I had read some time ago that 20 mp was reaching a tipping point for MFT because the physical sizes of the photo sites (pixel?) ...

which lens are you talking about?
