The Em-1s (Mark l and ll) are, in fact, the only micro43 that have phase-detection autofocus, the only way to get quick and precise af. "Old" 4/3 lenses are about useless with other m43 bodies, unless you have the time to magnify the image in the viewfinder. I used a EP2 with VF4 finder with medíocre af results. My new Lumix GX8 is a bit better, but still very slow. You can still get a new EM-1 for less than 700 euros in several sites, such as purnima-digital, where I got mine for 530 € 18 months ago.

<p> Thank you all for the input! I got my new M1 yesterday! I'm still waiting for the adapter to arrive (the Lumix DMW-MA1, cheaper and sturdier than the MMF3) and I am delighted by the camera, despite the annoying and hidden menu controls. I am a FF user, and in spite of the evident difference in noise in the shadows and at high ISO, the camera is so unconspicuous it allows me to take pictures that would be impossible to take with my big Canons and lenses. Well, focus speed and predictability cannot compete with my 5D mark lll, but it's fine for slow moving objects. As soon as I get the adapter I will give my opinion. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Got a deal in an almost new Zuiko 150mm f2 lens, but I still have no camera...Which camera and adapter should I get in order to get fast autofocus? Are there any compatibility issues with Lumix cameras? Thank you for advice! BTW, the Lumix g8 is too expensive for me...</p>

<p> I own the Ds markll, and was perfectly happy with it, until I bought the 6D. I never touched the Ds again. The 6D is simply much better: better sensor, better focusing (and fine-tunable via menu), quieter, lighter and less conspicuous. Of course it has a different build, and probably the Ds will survive its "amateur" sibling; nevertheless, the ability to produce decent photos at 10.000 ISO will make you think twice. Because the price is not that different in two years. Start saving!</p>

<p> Shoot both Raw and JPEG; Doing so, if something is wrong with the jpeg image, you can correct it using photoshop using ACR.</p>

<p> Great photographs commented by a great photographer. But I think I've seen the Marc Riboud photograph published in the early seventies in a Modern Photography issue and there was a caption saying it had been made with a 180 Nikon lens...</p>

<p> I traveled to Peru only once, in 1990, and there were no such rules then. The main concern was safety, because the Sendero was active. I would advise you to travel light, hide your cameras whenever possible, and travel with someone you trust. Crime in South America is still a problem, and Peru is no exception. Have your gear insured at all costs. But I loved Peru and peruvian people!</p>
