ordered a third E-M1 Mark II asa spare,onhearingthe

news of the ownership change.Aftera lifetimeof

shooting with different brands,theabilityto travelwitha

relatively light bag, to producea doublespreadin a

magazine, make a 30in exhibitionprintandhave,in

Micro Four Thirds, the widest choiceof top-qualityglass,

of any brand, why on Earth wouldI change?
