I was surprised when you sold it. I made the move in the opposite direction. After shooting with a E-M1 ii for a little over a year I found a nice used G9 to try. The G9 won the battle.I find myself missing the G9 again.

Yeah, discontentment and all that. It’s definitely a chunky body, but certainly very comfortable and Panasonic was smart to put such a good EVF in it and the ergonomics are really good. It’s not what people think of with M43 in terms of size, but that’s not really what it is all about.I was surprised when you sold it. I made the move in the opposite direction.

Easy. Leica 24-90mm is the better choice!Could you please talk me out of this....
Followed by the Summicron 40mm F2, made specifically for that camera, I mean one can’t go without the other can itI handled a Leica (Leitz) CL today at Glazer's in Seattle... A terrific-feeling small M body. Definitely feels better than my Bessa-T in build, and the viewfinder is decent with glasses.
I don't think it would simplify my life in any way. But I did like it. $499 with a warranty from the shop. A little rich for my blood.
Or the CV 1.4/40 Nokton, or the new CV 2.8/40 Heliar...Followed by the Summicron 40mm F2, made specifically for that camera, I mean one can’t go without the other can it
Yeah, the OM5 might be tempting if they can get us that new sensor at a better price. It’s gotta have HHHR though at this point.The used E-M1X are annoyingly affordable. I’ve always been curious about it but, fortunately, my style of shooting doesn’t play to its advantages. It’s also a bit on the large side. EM1iii or even EM5 iii would probably be better. Of course, I will have to wait to see the new OM-5, supposedly being announced in Sept. I might be interested if it has the new stacked sensor and a tempting price.
I think some level of HHHR is a given. The EM5 Series is an important revenue source for them. Mu43 hasn’t been a main camera for me for a while, but the right OM-5 would tempt me. For most of my shooting, an OM-5 would be just fine. The E-M5 ii was one of my favorite cameras, and the mu43 mount has a lot of wonderful glass.Yeah, the OM5 might be tempting if they can get us that new sensor at a better price.

They appear to have the pieces to make a nice little camera. The real questions are will they put them together at a price that makes the body attractive. $1500 would be the very most I would consider.I’ll be watching this OM-5 release with curiosity. Hopefully it doesn’t make me regret divesting in my 300mm pro or 12-100 pro, although it seems the bodies are finally catching up to the glass. We shall see.
Mike,I wonder if a Nikon D700 would be a pair to my Df?
There's a seller who's selling a D700 + 24-70/2.8 kit for 400 €. The package deal also includes a D1X camera.
Interesting idea, I can see some use for it as such. Mostly to camouflage a suitable digital cameras in a "retro" environment, for those that partake in such. That on a brown and/or black and silver house with a thin leatherstrap should go a long way fitting in.No quite a burning desire but I thought this was pretty neat. I have no idea how well it works.
Godox's Lux Senior is a larger, more powerful flash with a retro-inspired design
As the Lux Junior alluded to, Godox is back with a new Lux Senior, which is larger and more powerful with an equally-retro design.www.dpreview.com
I don't see any advantage in adding a D700 when you already have a Df, Mike.I wonder if a Nikon D700 would be a pair to my Df?
