A long time ago in the film days when zooms were getting decent, I remember the majors wouldn't go any wider than 28mm ff (e.g. 28-85mm) and no more than 5X zoom.  When shooting at 28mm, I ...

I noticed you have/had a few Oly bodies including the E-M1 Mk3, OM-5, OM-1, E-M10 Mk4. For someone who will be using the system mostly for just leisure travel and not birding, sports, and other ...

I can see you folks are much more experienced than I am - by a long shot.  I have to keep reminding myself that the purpose of our planned trips is pleasure incl some photography vs serious ...

The crop image is impressive - sharp and detailed.  There might be another lens solution that I saw from Panasonic.  It's the 12-60mm f3.5-4.5 and it's fairly compact and I imagine lighter than ...

Some in this forum say the 12-100 f4 PRO is large, quite heavy, and don't balance well on the smaller bodies.  But all agree that it's a great all-in-one lens solution.  I'm trying to build a ...

What about the weight of these 2.8 lenses?  Trying to keep weight down as much as possible. I had been looking at in the Olympus line: 12-45 f4, 45-150 f?, and a 17mm prime for a normal ...

Thanks for letting me know that the 12-100 is heavy.  I'm trying to get away from "heavy".   Back and neck problems don't like carrying heavy things for long periods.  The 12-100 probably doesn't ...

Hi Marie (and anyone else wanting to jump in), I'm in a similar boat to Maddog. Selling my FF stuff and need to buy something for our first overseas trip to Europe in the fall. I handled the RX100 ...
