Wow,
I was wondering if this Oly offering wouldn't catch your eye. The T1/2
of your APS-c venture wasn't all that long.
I am "fortunate" to have become all tied up with work and couldn't go
to the Hunt show prior to our trip to try one. Suspect may have
bought/ordered it. No grip purchased?
I am still surprised Oly doesn't encode CA corrrection into the files
yet. The CA in the corners on the wide end for the 12-50 as mentioned
by Jeff is visible. Perhaps there is a quick fix or the DXO module is
due out within a week . The 12-50 may be the only lens where the sensor
readout is 240 fps for continous AF mode though reverts back to 120 for
more accuracy in other modes. There is a rumor of poor reliability that
an Oly M. 12-60 may annnounced this Fall. The increasing third party
support for MFT is also encouraging.
I have kept track of a few threads on FM and the menus are indeed
confusing. Some of the procedures to engage fxn's just have to be
figured out--have press to engage for some? I briefly looked at the
manual and couldn't discern the solution. If the menu/manual are the
major faults/that really isn't that bad. Once all is figured out it
almost becomes a moot issue.
I was intrigued and vaguely discomfitted by how well the files held up
to the OM5DII. I will keep a FF dig
home for OM lenses (as well as using them on OM cams of course) for
many moons but a small kit replacement is in order. Just got another
nudge. Your stream of conciousness pros and cons are of interest.
Watching closely, Mike
