New to the forum and m43!

Hi everyone, just bought an OM-D to compliment my Canons (5D2 & 1D4) and I'm finding that the bulky Canon gear is being left in the 'big' bag completely unused!! The OM-D has completely knocked me sideways regarding picture quality, high ISO, handling and of course the lenses. The Oly 12,45 and Pan 20 are superb quality and so small and light. Does anyone out there want to buy a shed load of Canon gear?

Welcome to FTU! Woodbutcher - does that mean forestry, carpentry, or cabinet making?

I'm a string bass player, and also loving my E-M5. Welcome to FT-U, Woodbutcher!

Nope! (Mainly because my knees, back and general health wouldn't stand it.) I don't think MFT will ever quite equal "full frame" but for practical purposes the gap is closing! Welcome to the forum and enjoy!
