While I've been heavily focused on SONY FF for the past two years, I
will say that there are times when it's the most joyless photographic
appliance known to man. My 70-200/4 mk2 is easily the very best
telephoto-zoom I've ever used, but it's inspiring. the 20-70 is
extremely useful and handy, but the last thing it does is give you any
ideas. The 200-600 is in another league, though. THAT lens is reason
enough to have a Sony FF camera.
I'm not one to usually see the image in my head and then force the
camera to succumb to my will. My camera is a creative partner. I use
the camera as a contributing source of inspiration to my vision. This
is why I still love the Olympus cameras so much because they
communicate ideas to me that no other camera ever has.
I still have the E-M5 mk2, and got a brand new set of Wasabi batteries
for it. For all its ills, that camera does something that I haven't
seen in any other of my cameras. It gives me E-1 color/contrast vibes.
The E-M1 Mk2 doesn't do it for me. (Side note, my latest/greatest
GoPro camera actually does a remarkable job of providing that
familiarity).
I say all of this, because I would really like to get a quality zoom
in the m43 mount for hiking, and lower-profile travel when I don't
want to haul the Sony FF around. I've taken the Sony to Australia
twice and I'm like "can I please have my m43 camera?"
I don't regret buying all the Sony FF camera gear. I DO regret
carrying it around on a long day.
