I had always been a DSLR, fast prime type of guy.
Last year I took the plunge to get into the m4/3 system. I was never impressed with the 4/3 (large body). I regarded the sensor as too small relative to the body size. The m4/3 was the perfect pairing of compact body with a relatively large sensor compared to typical P&S.
Last year I purchased an E-P1 and took it on our anniversary trip. Then I got a GF-1 with the wonderful 20mm pancake and took it on a road trip to Utah. I love the GF-1 so much that I'm going to take just the GF-1 on my China trip this summer.
I'm contemplating of whether to take just the 20mm or purchase a light weight mid-range zoom as well. I was satisfied with the Oly 14-42mm when I owned it.. wouldn't mind picking up one for cheap. Thought about the Panasonic 14-140 (or whatever the range is) but I'm driven away by the sheer size of the lens. What other lens options are out there?
Below are a mix of pics taken with the EP-1, GF1, using the 14-42mm Oly, 20mm Lumix, and a Voigtlander Color Skopar 35mm m-mount.
