Fantastic everyday lens.
Just waiting for some tasty Fujifilm lens deals
Very tempting, but I'm also worried about the future of m43. Oly in particular seems to be struggling.
Friend, for what it's worth panasonic is at least doing well, even though they recently introduced a ff camera. I agree that it's in a weird spot where it's the perfect system for the current day but the future seems to hold nothing forseeable. I believe sony makes most mft sensors as well, so they can keep it power checked as much as the want.
Nevertheless, my 12-40 pro lens is simply beatiful and the system adapts quiet a lot of lenses with ease.
Panasonic are definitely doing better, but they seem to have lost focus on m43 as well and are more focused on their new Leica partnership.
You're right,I have the 7-14mm and 12-40mm Pro lenses and love them! Been tempted to get the metabones speedbooster to use some of my EF glass on my EM1.
The Oly lenses also seem to perform a little bit worse on Panasonic bodies, which isn't surprising. Otherwise I might switch to a Panasonic body.
must….resist…
