+1 for O'Reillys.

I think your m43 kit is fine as is. There are more expensive and arguably sharper lenses but that is up to you to decide whether necessary. The more expensive choices are also heavier. Your zoom ...

Tripod? Reverse grad filters? Probably want to bring those if you are a night, sunset and sunrise person. The Story Bridge is a favorite subject at night... it is the one lit up on the link ...

Send the cap to Olympus. It is a known problem and hopefully fixed with better glue on newer samples. Also, some forum members have had Olympus post them replacements without even sending in the ...

EM1.2 1. Using SCP, select PreMF and then INFO and focus manually (OR press shutter button for AF) at an "infinity" far subject and look at what distance readout you get. 2. Select OK. 3. Make a ...

I am not sure quite what you want, but you said any help appreciated. M43 lenses vs any other lens... the focal length and aperture is what it says on any lens. The field of view a focal length ...

He takes great images... I wish I had half his talent! Interesting that he says he will use it now for 85% of all his work. Something that many of us here should relax about... that m43 can do most ...

12-100... never fails to impress and regarding portraits, the background separation at f4 towards the end, 70mm plus, is better than 40mm at f2.8. Even though you said only one lens, do yourself a ...

There are some items of gear where "advantages" can be argued as having disappeared in comparison. For example the newer FF compact ML bodies with some slower type f-stop FF lenses are similar in ...

... and enjoy working more than the other pack horses do!

LOL... many truths spoken there. M43 today is arguably better IQ (someone can chime in with facts) than FF once was. From what I have seen anyways. And back then it (FF) was oohed ahhed about. When ...

Exactly!

Interesting to hear that other top cameras are maybe not as much better at CAF as I thought. We expect so much today. To get a pixel level sharp shot of a fast moving subject frame after frame is a ...

As some people point out, you could cherry pick f4 and f5.6 FF lenses so that they are similar or lighter than m43 f2.8 lenses, and then need to shoot at a stop or two higher ISO with FF to get ...

Gorgeous birds and shots!

Good news and nice shots! When I got back into photography a few years ago it took time to reprogram my habits: I discovered that a 4x6" print I used to make of an action shot at say 1/500 and be ...

The original post is very well said but there are technical things that are not to do with sensor size that I want Olympus to match and hopefully do better.... CAF and sensor readout speed to ...

That will help Oly/ Pana m43 a lot... 35mm film was "good enough" that medium format 120 was not the everyday carry around format. And in terms of critical IQ/ grain I estimate/ remember it was ...

Spot on... I have to swop your 20 for a 17 though! But I get it done.
