Delish!!
If you get the urge to lighten your photo gear load on these outings, you might look at the Panny GM5 and 14-140. I've
been falling in love with the GM5 for its very modest size and weight. It's better in both respects than the Oly E-PL
and E-PM bodies, yet includes a usable EVF, without having to add an external one.
But of course, the GMs don't have IBIS and the Oly 14-150 doesn't have OIS. So, after looking at reviews, I found that
the Panny lens is, if anything, perhaps slightly better in resolution, distortion, CA, etc. So I bit the bullet, sold
the 14-150 and a Panny 45-150 I bought before the 35-100 came out, and bought a 14-140. Not a free trade, but I found a
14-140 being sold new, but not in box, taken from a body lens kit cheaper than anything else new.
Not much used as yet, although the Floating Gold image I posted that several loved was made with that combo. It's an
appealingly small and light kit with big capabilities. It actually fits in a Lowepro Dashpoint 30 I already had, which
can hang on my belt.
I read that Panny is giving up on the GM line and the GM5 is discontinued, but still available here and there new, and
of course used.
