Sorry, but that's not a solution for me anymore. My Canon 5D easily
gets 400+ exposures on one battery charge. But the 5D has just gotten
too big and heavy for little old me. But I will use it tomorrow so I
can take advantage of the Tamron 20-40's very wide short end. My widest
E-M5 lens is the 12-50 and that's only 24mm equivalent. I'll just have
to put up with the size and weight for a while. That Tamron 20-40
probably weighs as much as the whole E-M5 and 12-50 combined.
