.... Absolutely - That's why I wrote "
But of course it depends what kind of photography you do" separately at the end of my post.
You do a lot of city photography amongst people and I do a lot of wildlife away from people. The beauty of the m4/3 system (especially Olympus in my case) is that it caters for both our needs/wishes and for other photographer's needs, both amateur and professional.
Unlike yourself, although I too use many different gadgets I have found that muscle memory has interfered with successfully or easily grabbing the fleeting wildlife shot on too many occasions. Using both a Canon D-SLR and mirrorless EOS-R body didn't suit my albeit limited muscle memory well at all.
I was joking and laughing at myself when I crossed out my "
...cool..." comment. However, quite a few friends and acquaintances I have who are in their 20s tell me they think I am very cool. One 22yo even told me so yesterday (in person, not on Facebook). I don't strive to be cool but it is flattering and stops one feeling too old for anything.
.... I have had many phone chats with Olympus UK Customer Service but never Olympus repairers - Too many to count! And with 4 different people there. All extremely helpful and pro-active.
I am not intending to take any more photographs before my trip to Greece this coming weekend - I hope the gales don't interfere with flights! The 12-40mm F/2.8 Pro I bought from you is going to be invaluable sometimes on my second body and it already has been. Your timing was very lucky for me and I am very grateful even though I may unfortunately sometimes come across as being argumentative - My intention is to be augmenting and hence contribute something to this thread.
Cheers!
