I just got my first ever mobile phone; it’s my wife’s old Nexus 5 which I replaced for her with the 5X, so that she can get Nougat. So now I have a wireless remote for my E-M10; but what is stinng right in front of me on my desk currently? The E-PL5 with the Lumix 14mm/2.5.

Sure, I’d like to have something like the Olympus 17mm/1.8, or the 12mm/2, or even the 12-40mm you’ve mentioned. And the E-M1 Mk2 is really nice and probably explains the – slight – price drop of its predecessor. But do I need all these? No, not really. I can as well do with my older ones, and spend money on something that needs it more (like our ageing Corolla which makes some disturbing grinding noises from beneath).

The two attractions of the E-M1 is the big grip, for people who use large lenses, and the compatibility with Olympus’ legacy DSLR 4/3 lenses.

I haven’t talked about it yet on my blog, but recently, I’ve been buying truly cheap cameras in the $5 to $25 range. They are super old digital cameras that I’m adding to my collection.
