I look tired? Not feeling it. I usually feel pretty energized when out in the
field, makin' pix.
I'm worn out with the E-1, 12-60 OMD and my C5050.
I think you misunderstand the size/weight of µ4/3 vs 4/3.
"... E-1, 12-60 OMD and my C5050." comes to 1,790 g, or 3#, 14 oz., to you and
me.
The ones I mention carrying, E-M5, 12-50, E-M5II, 75-300, come to 1,535 g, 3#,
6 oz.
(Yeah, I know, "the 12-60 is magic." Never used one. I do know the 12-50 is a very
fine lens, including a very useful and effective macro mode. (Is that what the C5050 is for,
macro?) And yes, it's about 2/3 stop slower, but the latest µ4/3 sensors are more like
3-4 stops less noisy than the E-1. Admittedly, I never drank the E-1 color Kool-Aid.)
(OK maybe one OM-1n with one lens, too.)
OM-1n is 510 g, another 1#, 2 oz. Plus which lens?
No wonder you are looking so tired! ;-)
I prescribe an OMD, say E-M10 with 14-150 lens, 681 g, 1# 8 oz.
Or a Panny GM5 with 12-32 & 35-100, 416 g, 15 oz.*
Either combo will take technically better images over a longer FL range than what you are carrying, for a LOT less size
and weight.

* I have the GM1, 12-32 and 45-150 as a light kit, 'cause the GM5 and 35-100 didn't exist yet, and, well, I like the
extra tele reach. Needs an extension tube for C-U.
