Hi Joel,

I'm not watching prices anymore, just want to get some
usage out of what I have so I dont feel guilty of GAS,
so I might wait until Oly goes broke to buy an E-M1,
or the follow up to the E-M1 is released, which ever
happens first. That will likely be August 2014.
Hm, the above reminds me of were I was 12 months ago..
> I am not familiar with a 12-80. Did you mean 12-60 by chance?
Sorry, yes, the 43's 12-60's F2.8-4's on the E-450.
I should also get in the habit of using m43's and 43's,
it could get interesting for a non Oly person to read :)

>From what others have said, you'll be right with 43 lenses
on the E-M1 due to the dual focusing system but I know
were your coming from. Just use the E-M1 with what 43
lenses you already have but only buy m43 lenses if you
do need them.
tempations will always be there, it's no more, and no less,
a balancing act :o)
Cheers
