Hi Mike,
You mention what the other systems are "for:" since this one has your
OM-4T, is it your most "serious" system? Or just your "OM-4T system": the
lenses you want to have with that body?

Curious as to why optionally you like to carry the 50/1.4 with this rig.

When is this system preferable over system #1? Do you choose it when you
want to use the lenses for some reason and the bright viewfinder of the
OM-G is a good match (as you mention below)?
