I swear that for me every new camera system is a black hole. I might start with a sincere plan to have just 1 camera and a lens (or maybe two).Well, in a sense every lens is a Black Hole, right ?
I don't usually like watching video reviews of cameras and lenses. So often there is just too much video/audio filler for me. I normally cut to the conclusions, beginning in this video at about 7:00.A review from Darryl Carey ...

Before I know it, the darn things have multiplied and I have 2, 5 or 9 cameras and who knows how many lenses for a single system. How did that happen? Not once, not twice, but over and over again.
That said...for me, getting back into the MFT system has been a very rewarding decision. Now with a trio of PL zoom lenses ranging from 8-200 mm, I think my MFT lens collection is complete. Maybe.

I've solved that particular problem by re-homing an old rabbit each time I get a new fluffy one.There is a remarkable resemblance between photography equipment and rabbits ...
Certainly Bart - held up with C-Lux thingy (and much more fun than I expected) It was interesting how the manual for the G9 covered it almost exactly.Yeah - he's pretty late already, you can't trust no one these days ...
Perhaps that C-Lux thingy was holding him up ?
Then I hope you don't look like a rabbit, otherwise your wife might get 'funny' ideas ... :ROTFL:I've solved that particular problem by re-homing an old rabbit each time I get a new fluffy one.
My problem is that I have great difficulty not adopting a cute new rabbit as soon as I witness their neotenic appearance.
"I won't get it yet because I don't need it yet."
"I won't get it yet because it's so young, it might have a problem that will be cured in its elder siblings."
"I won't get it yet because once it's a little bit older, it will be cheaper to buy."
But resistance seems futile and then I need a new hutch that will fit the new rabbit! :banghead:
….. and shoot me :bugeyes:Then I hope you don't look like a rabbit, otherwise your wife might get 'funny' ideas ... :ROTFL:
The Panasonic Leica DG Vario 50-200/2.8-4 was first announced in February 2018 and has only become available within the past month, so I'm surprised that you could have had this same lens "some long time ago."I had this lens for 43 some long time ago. I liked it .... but I don't miss it.
Now I have the 2.8 40-150 PRO with TC1.4 - this is a much better and more capable combo anyway - so why bother
