I am completely with the small size crowd. That is the main attraction of MFT
for me. The GM5 I recently bought for my cycling is brilliant with the equally
tiny 12-32mm lens. I just came back from 3 days in Munich where I had the GX80
with the 2.5/14mm, 1.7/20mm, 2.8/30mm and 35-100mm lenses. All in the small
Think Tank Retrospective 5 bag, an outfit that delivers more than decent image
quality and does not lead to shoulder pain after walking around with it for
several hours.
Cheers,
