Getting to be a habit around here innit?
Same here.
Just about to sell my old, beaten up EF 300/2.8 - now that's HEAVY!
What I do like is that I can use the E-M1 with the 20mm or 25mm Panasonics and
it's very light or bolt on the booster and take things like the 12-40mm and
75mm and have a more pro looking outfit when I need to impress the gullible.
