I spent 2 very beautiful weeks in Florida - Bonita Springs area - which is directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Very sunny, very humid, lot of rain etc.
The EM1.2 albeit a very "ancient" camera together with the 2.8/12-40 PRO and the 2.8/40-150 PRO were congenial companions during that trip and I must say I really love the results I can get with that combo, especially under some partially harsh conditions.

I must say that I really enjoyed this combination and it was way more than enough for all my photography needs during this vacation. There was not a single time where I would have desired to shoot a different system, let alone the weight advantages of m43 compared to and FF system.
The one thing I learned from this trip is that if I had the 4/12-100 PRO I could have shot with only that lens during the complete vacation that would have decreased weight and handling even more significantly.
The second thing I learned from this trip that I prefer the EM1.2 highly over the EM1X for this type of shooting as the EM1X would have simply been too large, heavy and obtrusive in all situations.
