4/3 lenses on m4/3

I remember seeing great pictures you took with that 75mm F1.8.. From my experience with the E-M5 and E-M5II it can be very prone to shutter shock at some speeds I often wanted to use. The silent electronic first curtain shutter happily took care if that after a while (E-M5II is OK and the E-M5 got it too through firmware update, if I remember correctly, but for a long time I used the 1/8th second shutter delay to take care of it). What this means is that you will have to choose your second MFT body carefully : I don't know Panasonic bodies very well, but I remember reading that some of the lighter bodies were exhibiting that problem too.
The 75/1.8 is a lovely lens, I bought one as soon as it became available. I've never seen any evidence of "shutter shock" with it on the E-M1 in my use, even before the EFC option was implemented.

Different body, different shutter...

The 75 is one of my favorite m43 lenses. Razor sharp and fast!

Never had any issues with it on the EM1.

framing far from perfect ...



... but try holding a 1.6 kg lens at an awkward postion for a while
