Looking ahead, not back

mid-Dec 2024

The Lumix S5 + 20-60mm + 70-300 is here! Farewell to Sony and Pentax* systems. 

OK I am looking back, a little: a silver E-M1 has once again taken over as custodian of the μ43 kit, with the 14-140mm, ZD70-300mm and native (10-50mm) primes. I tried hard to love the G100 and its fine 20Mpx sensor, but it just won't do; so much for one App to Rule Them All.. and live in-body charging with µ43.

*Pentax is still represented by its 28+40+50+70+??+135mm primes, plus PK-mount zooms from Rikenon (70-150/4) and Focal (80-200/3.5). These can be used straight up on either system - or with a 0.71x speed-booster on μ43 bodies! That means the Focal mutates into a 55-140mm f/2.5 (112-285mm/eq) - wow! Bulky though.

And I'm Still looking for my smc-m 85/2 - that darn lens is too small!!
