Anyone interested in answering the OPS question about mixing bodies with different comanies lenses? I've yet to buy Panasonic, only Olympus so I have no firsthand knowledge.

You, the OP, seem to have a far greater confidence in the EM-1 II's C-AF and C-AF+TR than I, who is more skeptical. Only until I see consistent high hit rates of a basketball game, soccer game, ...

I have an MM 10, which doesn't get heavy enough to be bothersome. Put whatever strap you want on it or velcro some padding. personally, I'd use a thick one from an old [D]SLR bag. If you're ...

Yes, you can assign it to a button or go through the menu. Look in the manual to see how to assign buttons.

Be careful with flash. Bounce if you can and make sure it doesn't overpower available light. My first fashion show, with head-on flash, had slightly overexposed models and black backgrounds. Show ...

I doubt the IBIS is so restricted. I've been shooting IBIS for years with Olympus. Its a simple concept that even stabilizes 50 year old manual focus lenses. I don't see why Canon's IBIS would be...

If f2.8 is not particularly fast for a zoom, especially one 12-60+ (I guess, you don't say), and don't seem interested in two zooms, then yes, I guess you are confined to primes.

43 Lenses is a lot of lenses.

Ha ha! You are joking, aren't you? What you've written is contrary to the law of Supply and Demand: the low demand = low price; high demand = high price.

The 60mm macro claims to be weather sealed but I treat mine gingerly.

The ISO, of course. If the normal exposure is 800 then -1 exposure compensation uses 400 - one stop underexposed.

I've spent most summers of my life in Southern Maine (my family has owned a summer cottage there since 1880!). Having taken a number of pictures there your picture looked like a nice sunset shot ...

I comfortably stuff 3 primes (45mm max) with one of them mounted on my E-M5 II into a Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 10. This would probably be a bit small for your lens but there are larger sizes (#15+).

I largely agree. But, there is something here. Bushes blocking the girl's face ruins it for me, and it is far too distant (or too wide of a lens) to yield the intimacy this scene calls for.

Sorry, I don't quite understand this: "..don't feel so bad as in Western Europe and US is moving toward more like only "pervs" take photo of someone they do not know". Please explain.

I doubt you can reassign the shutter button but in MF mode you can assign a button to SF so you may get some AF that way. If your em-10's screen has touch focus/shoot, you could use that. Of ...

Five high speed gyroscopes should make a little noise.

Lens-wise, the 12-40 should handle all your needs. I lived in West Africa for 5 years (Grand Bassam, Ivory Coast). Africans have a far greater skin tone range than white folk, so there is no single ...

I'm pretty forgiving but I would return or exchange it. You paid good money for a fully functional lens. I know of many people that have returned lenses for far less, like not liking how a silver ...
