Parted company with the EM1X, my last MFT item. An ergonomic masterpiece - but a recently unused ergonomic masterpiece. Sigma 150-600 Sport is on the way.
Where? I grew up in the Barre / Montpelier area and spent a year in Burlington.Ah, yes. Vermont. Sorry about that. May or may not happen, still in the decision phase.
Doesn't need to start at 50, I would pair it with the 12-100 so start anywhere from 75-90 and make it 2.5x to 3x, keep it smaller. (75-225 / 80-240 / 90-225) With TC support.......
I would really, really like for Oly to drop a 50-200/250 f:4 in pro config at no more than 450 grams, preferably no later than July and make it TC compatible, please. Also, include the hood, you cheap lot.

My mother still lives in Bethel, not too far. I often stop around Quechee and Woodstock on my way up.Family I grew up around is mainly from the Tinmouth, Ludlow, Wallingford area.

As for it being pretty, way back Road and Track Magazine used to do "Top 10" lists. Vermont had 3 of the top 10 roads in the country the first year they put the list out.
Well, that was quicker than expected, packaging the G90 to night to ship it off to its new owner tomorrow. Now needing to source a nicely used E-M1MkIII or even perhaps strecthing it to an OM1, if one surfaces in the local classifieds for a somewhat reasonable amount...New add is up, for the G90/Lumix 12-60 combo, so now the wait begins again...

Personally, I would stretch to the OM-1 after using both. In fact, my Sony A1 rarely gets used anymore after getting the OM-1. Love him or hate him, Ken Rockwell just put out his OM-1 review. Spoiler alert, he likes it.Well, that was quicker than expected, packaging the G90 to night to ship it off to its new owner tomorrow.

I probably would if I could, it is a tall stretch, to the tune of probably very well within reach of hitting a pair of MkIII for the price of one OM1. Possibly a 100 or two under for the IIIs, but sans the spread over time.Personally, I would stretch to the OM-1 after using both. In fact, my Sony A1 rarely gets used anymore after getting the OM-1.

In your opinion how well does the OM-1 handle eye AF for pets and people compared to A1? Better, worse, different? Do you have any Panasonic lenses with your OM-1, are they up to the speed of M.Zuikos?Personally, I would stretch to the OM-1 after using both.

Here in the UK I'm seeing the OM-1 used for the price of an E-M1X AND a E-M1 Mark III .... For the cost of a brand new OM-1 you can add a E-M5 Mark III on top too. That is efing nuts.I probably would if I could, it is a tall stretch, to the tune of probably very well within reach of hitting a pair of MkIII for the price of one OM1.

Not that I need two as such, but after shooting dually with the G9 and G90, it would be nice to have a matched pair.
Over here, as of late, the E-M1X is generally lower in price than the 1MkIII, and I still havent seen a OM-1 secondhand.Here in the UK I'm seeing the OM-1 used for the price of an E-M1X AND a E-M1 Mark III ....

I don’t have any pets, so I’m no help there. For people, the A1 is probably a bit better, but that is anecdotal, I am not disappointed by the OM-1 for people eye AF if that makes sense. In fact the EM1 MK III has very good people eye AF, again IMHO. For birds and animals, I have found that the OM-1 finds the eye just a little bit faster than the A1 but the A1 is stickier. For all of the various AF modes, we are splitting hairs when it comes to these two bodies. The OM-1 wins for me as a total package, size, weight, AF performance, system lens quality and built in features. I do occasionally still use my PL 100-400 and it is very snappy with the OM-1, no issues for me.In your opinion how well does the OM-1 handle eye AF for pets and people compared to A1?

(I'm asking because it's difficult to get concise information of OM-1 for my usage case, unpredictable people and even more unpredictable dogs.)
Trouble is simple but difficult preference for me:Over here, as of late, the E-M1X is generally lower in price than the 1MkIII, and I still havent seen a OM-1 secondhand.
I do like my 5MkIII, though. It would for the time being, stand in as second body for a pair of Olys, for the similar sensor look.
