I have three excellent 4/3 lenses and the lovely but small sensored Olympus e1 camera body. I'm eager to find out for myself if the Kodak 5MP CCD sensor in the E1 truly has its own special character and I'll also be looking at how large a print I could make with it.
IF, however, the E1 isn't still so special, OR if I can't discern or recognize whether it's actually there, OR if I can't print much above 5 x 7's, then I'll want to look at a more recent full 4/3 body. I believe the last of those offered by Olympus was their E5, but don't know what the last one by Panasonic would have been, or whether yet another marque ever got involved. I would prefer a weatherized body if possible, but a non-weatherized version wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker.
I do have the Olympus MMF3 adapter and could, of course, use that on a m4/3 body as a last resort.
The lenses I'll be using are the Olympus 11-22, the Olympus 50/2 and the Panaleica 14-50.
So, I know 4/3 bodies won't be so up to date, but would still like suggestions as to my best options.
Thanks to one and all and best wishes for finding exceptional light and for a fruitful New Year,
Irenaeus
