It's a great shot, Jørgen. Made me smile ...
As for spending on legacy glass and adapters: why-o-why ?
Kind regards.
Thanks, Knorp.
Why legacy glass...? I have the OM glass, and I use it on my OM cameras. The 50mm f/2 macro is a really superb lens and with a Speed Booster it will become a 36mm f/1.4, very useful for portraits, and close focusing as well, as opposed to the more expensive alternatives, the Voigtländer 42.5mm f/0.95 and the PL 42.5mm f/1.2.
The Zeiss CY 180mm will fill the only big gap in the m4/3 lineup; a high quality 150ish prime. With a traditional adapter, it's obviously a 180mm f/2.8, while with a Speed Booster, it will become a 128mm f/2.0. The alternative would be the Zuiko 150mm f/2.0 in 4/3 mount, but it's more than twice as heavy and twice as expensive too. No, I don't like the Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8. Had it. sold it, don't regret it. I suppose the upcoming PL 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 will suit me better than the Zuiko, but at this stage, it doesn't exist, and it's f/4 at the long end.
The tricky choice is the 85mm f/1.4. It's not better than the Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 which I have, but with the Speed Booster, it will become a 60mm f/1.0. That will be great for street portraits in low light and with good subject isolation too. It's also a very compact lens, although somewhat heavy at 595g. I might also buy another Contax body for portrait work to replace my broken RX, a fantastic camera.
As usual, I'm not 100% sure about any of this, and I might change my mind as I go. But the GX8 is such a great camera for manual focusing, so... we'll see
