Haven't used it yet to be honest though. Read a few things about 'rolling shutter' (or something like that?) that's made me a bit weary of using it? Seems there are some shutter speeds to stay away from if you use the silent shutter?<br /><br />BTW - there was no link to your page?<br /> nzdigitalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703737498864762603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171059893185504690.post-71220576172183593342015-10-30T10:02:44.891+13:002015-10-30T10:02:44.891+13:00Thanks Wayne.

I thought that would be the way I would go too, but after using the primes I'm not so sure. It's taken me a little while, but I'm finally getting used to the smaller form factor and don't want to go back to bigger and heavier again. I thought I'd pony up for the extra battery grip for the E-M5 MkII as well, but just can't bring myself to do it.<br /><br />Would rather have a 25mm f1.8 instead :-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Waynenzdigitalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703737498864762603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171059893185504690.post-17035735730101668682015-10-29T11:35:02.471+13:002015-10-29T11:35:02.471+13:00Oh, this was my trusty OM-1 kit...

'pocketable' combo. (Pretty good image quality, a touch of flare, maybe slowish electronic zoom.)<br /><br />I then sprung for a costly 12-40 F2.8 PRO (+ ECG-1 Grip) - an all-in-one lens I thought, but sold it after a short period - too bulky/heavy for me, I missed a lot of the portability & convenience of the wee OM-D.<br /><br />Now I carry a 17mm F1.8 (costly, esp with lens hood) & 45mm F1.8 (a beauty & inexpensive). Prime IQ is of course excellent. Occasionally I miss the 14mm wide angle, but with the many digital controls to hand nowadays, I'm happy (& quicker) not having to mess with zoom.<br /><br />YMMV of course, I shoot a lot on the move, esp if I'm travelling.<br />Cheers, Owen<br /><br />PS. The twin kit 40-150 F4-5.6 is excellent - v lightweight, v acceptable IQ & gives you equivalent 300mm without schlepping a long tele. In reality, some of my more spectacular shots have come from this lens.Dark Lanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380455825991859233noreply@blogger.com
