> May I ask what lenses to go with the E-m5 iii?
I must say that I shoot about 90% legacy glass. I have most of the OM macros
and support bits, and a number of the OM f/2 lenses.
When I really need auto-focus, I have quite a bit of Four Thirds legacy glass.
The higher-end ones (at least) auto-focus nicely with the E-M1.2. I believe the
E-M5.3 has PDAF focus, which means Four Thirds glass will work well. (They are
extremely slow to focus on CDAF-only bodies.) Also, unlike older OM lenses,
Four Thirds lenses will communicate EXIF data to the body. But they are
generally large and heavy. A good Four Thirds lens to consider is the
50-200/2.8-3.5 with SWD. There were two versions; make sure you get the SWD one.
The one general-purpose MFT lens I use fairly often is the Oly 14-150 super
zoom. It’s not the sharpest tool in the bag, but very possibly the most
versatile. And it’s wonderfully small and light, too. It’s come down in price
quite a bit since the 12-200 super zoom came out. I whip it out for family
gatherings and such when I just don’t want to be changing lenses very often.
