I think you’ll find that your silver-nosed friends (if you still have any) will 
be happier with the m43.

I spent some time with a Sony FF friend, and he had a devil of a time trying to 
use my OM lenses that I loaned him. His IBIS sucked, and the camera made him go 
through multiple menu picks to change lenses, whereas my E-M1.2 only required 
one.

Plus, going FF means you can’t use focal reducers, which can be just fantastic.

I’m having such a gas with “legacy lenses” that I just got a 350/2.8 
(replacement for one I sold long ago). With a Metabones, it’s a 250/2. With a 
1.4X-A, it’s a 500/4. All of them are sharp.

But really, if all you want is a one-trick-pony travel cam, why bother with 
interchangeable lenses at all? There are some really nice superzoom 
point-n-shoot cams out there.
