I went out this weekend with my friend from Canon, and asked when he may get his hands on the new 10-20mm. He wasn’t sure, but somehow that turned into him loaning me a 600mm f/4 and 1.4x tele 😂 Never shot with a lens that costs more than my car before! Going to try to get out tomorrow with it.

Please - a picture of you using that mounted to the camera.
 
Ok, today I decided to sell off remaining M4/3 equipment :( having using the system since 2008 it feels a little strange to finally leave it. But, such is life. Here are some of the pics I shot today for ads. Including the last body, GM1. And the most favorite lens that is the only one that has been with me since the beginning. Actually I bought the E-M5 when it came out, body only with P20/1.7, and it has been in my kit since then. Fantastic lens this.

Are you sure you don't want a second opinion?

I sold off the Cosinon 55/1.4 some 45 years ago. It's rumored to be made by Tomioka. If you look for a 55/1.4 Tomioka- might run you ~$200. Wish I had not sold it! After 45 years, better late than never.

Look for the Argus/Cosina STL 1000, maybe one in fifteen or so have the 55/1.4.

I put the 55/1.4 on the Z5, and the venerable much more common 50/1.8 on the STL1000. Both like new. $80 with shipping.

Have thought about this a few years now. If I do regret I think they will be available for long time to come.
They doesn't adapt too well with Nikon Z either, tried that also. And for the favorite lens, even if that one is smaller. Nikon has actually a 40/2 that could do it also :) (then I would need a FF body also...). I sit still in the boat now :)
