The Alternate System……
The large Micro 4/3rds System
Two years ago when I had a heart valve replacement and then coded twice it became apparent that for some work a lighter system was going to be needed. I still love my Fujifilm system and it when it works from, but on days that my energy level is lower, I have been using a Micro 4/3rds set of gear. The large system includes: A Panasonic Lumix G9 and a Olympus OM-1, the Olympus 12-80 f 2.8, 60mm Macro f 2.8, the 40-150 f 2.8 and the Lumix-Leica 100-400 f 4-6.3 and a TC-14 & TC-20. Remember that because the Micro 4/3rds sensor has a 2X affect on focal lengths! So, the range is 24mm to 800mm plus the affects of the teleconverters.
The Small Travel System
I also have a smaller System for travel, it includes; A Panasonic Lumix GX8 and a Olympus Pen F, Lumix/Leica 9mm f 1.7, Olympus 12mm f 2, Lumix/Leica 15mm f 1.7, Olympus 17mm f 1.8, Lumix 20mm f 1.7, Lumix 35-100 f 2.8 and a Olympus 75mm f 1.8 lenses.
So was usual I own way too much gear, but I’m enjoying all of it!
Blessings,

Pilgrim…mighty fine kit there! Rock that G9…and I want to know how you like the Om-1! Very excited to see it. I am really enjoying my OM. Menus are leaps and bounds above the older cameras. I think would like a 12-40 again…such a good lens. I am so glad you found a kit you can handle anytime.
All the lenses are very nice…how are the Oly teleconverters working on Panasonic/Leica 100-400? Curious.
You’ll have to share your settings for the jpegs sometime on both…for someone used to Fuji color I am always curious to see how people adapt on other systems.
The Olympus teleconverter do not play nice with the Lumix lens,but work great with the 40-150, with that lens they are tack, tack sharp!
I saw a Sigma 43 50-500 BIGMA I could slap on with a 43 to m43 converter and was intrigued…for the price! Although the tc-20 looks pretty appealing and weight saving!
Now that is TAC Sharp!
