Hi Bill,
I saw your post on FM. I can't comment on 4/3 glass on MFT. I have an E-M1
Mk11 and rented an A7rII with Techartpro AF adapter for a trip with an OM to
Leca M adapter for OM glass. I did not want to lug the huge GM lenses with all
the other gear so put my C/Y 35-70/3.4 on a Rayqual adapter--svelte and stopped
down is excellent for landscapes and will make the most of the 42 megapickles.
(OM 4T also made the cut of course) I did try the Zony 55/1.8 as a rental
too--quite nice but a bit more CA than I expected for the price. On the short
list still though. You were thinking of some native lenses too?
The GM normal range zoom only gets you to 70mm vs 200mm FF equiv with the Oly
though dof control is better on the FF.

For real long or compact super wide, can't beat the MFT to keep the size/wt
down with excellent performance. The sync IS with the Oly 12-100 was
impressive on the E-m1-mk11 and can hand hold focus bracketing as Moose alluded
to.
For alt glass like OM the new Sonnie is just an excellent tool as can use them
as designed as far as aov with some IS at least and have AF options, or focus
peaking and mag LV on a straight adapter. The sensor stack is a bit thick and
some OM WA's will have slightly degraded corners depending on the exit pupil
etc. It is a luxury having the DR and all the megapickles for cropping. Oh,
Sonnie should have had more robust weather sealing like the Oly, provide
lossless compressed raw and fix the star eater issue with longer exposures.
They don't listen very well to their users. I was smitten by the smooth
reflections app and did not really need to lug ND filters but they nixed all
the apps-harumph.
Have to agree with Moose that they might just be complementary and not mutually
exclusive, Mike
