I need a little support here now. I bought 12-40 f2.8 some weeks ago, and I love it, it`s amazing in the right environment (not indoors in dim lights but that`s another story). Found out I need (erm want) 40-150 f2.8 also (before going on summer-vacation?) and in that process, I found out that E-M1 with batterypack is on sale. Gonna try that combination (E-M1, battery pack, with 40-150 pro) later this week. If I like the total weight, I`ll buy it. Anyways, I need some mentally support here, doubt I`ll get too much home
If it is a trip to places like Alaska, Yellowstone, etc., you will need the 40 - 150 to record your experiences. P.S. - Who is the first guy to vote who voted: Too bad you`re about to get single this summer ? No group hug for him!
No, no, no. What do you think you're doing? Spending all that cash and NOT getting the teleconverter as well? Z...
Spend, spend, spend, spend . . . I got the EM1 a few months ago and I enjoy using it more than any other mu43 body.
It's a bad idea: you should save money on the body and spend for good lenses...oh well...whatever... Another big problem is that after you buy this lens you will have a hard time to justify buying other lenses: GAS is gonna wear you down!
Klorenzo: you are quite right. I doubt I'll buy a lot more before primes pro hit the market. If they ever release such thing. Except, 25mm 1.8 and maybe 75mm 1.8. To the others screaming mc14. Can't afford it right now.
You are right, but goal after this is to save up until Photokina 2016. I hope they by then, or then announce new housing, with new sensor and 1 or more primes in pro series faster then 1.8, with AF and pro attributes.
I just went through this decision process. I already have the 50-200 and I find I don't take it with me much because it is pretty heavy and large. The 40-150 is also not particularly light or small. In the end I decided to go with the 35-100 which is very compact and light but still with decent reach. 50-200 - 950g - 87x157mm 40-150 - 760g- 80x160mm So my current plan is to sell the 50-200, and use the 35-100 which I will carry much more often. In my case I already have another option for 150+ which is the SHG150f2 + ECs (14 and 20), which is also big and heavy but if I am shooting an event it is not a big deal. But it is certainly not a "carry around" lens most of the time.
My 40-150 f/2.8 + MC-1.4 rarely leave my camera. It's heavy, almost too heavy at times. On the plus side, it makes the 12-40 seem light and the 25 f/1.8 and 45 f/1.8 seem nonexistent.
