<p>I would think knowing the number of shots remaining, at a specific resolution/file size, would be much more useful than knowing how many gigs of memory are left. The former requires no long division in my head.</p>

<p>John - I much prefer number 2. Nice work.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting, Greg. Nice work. Lens flare in wide angles is nothing new, I guess; I would have expected it to be an issue in the conditions you describe. </p>

<p>Here's a link to a review of the lens on the Steve Huff site:<br> http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2016/10/20/the-olympus-7-14-pro-zoom-dont-fight-the-addiction-by-craig-litten/</p> <p>May be of interest to you if you are considering this lens.</p>

<p>Correcting my post above - I have the first generation of the Panasonic 20mm, not the II. Still a great lens, at least for me. It is my walk-around lens on the EM10.</p>

I use the 12-40 and 40-150 pro lenses. I think they are as good as any zooms (and some primes) as any I have used over many years of photography. I also have the Panasonic 20 Gerry mentioned. Also very nice. I use an M10 first version and an M1.

<p>Same on my E-M10. Sanford is correct.</p>

<p>I have the same experience - almost exclusively medium format for years. I have the 12 - 40 2.8 which I think is exceptional. I have ordered, and will have in hand tomorrow, the 40 - 150 2.8. Neither meets your cost criteria, but may be worth considering. The reason I don't use primes is because I shoot a lot of moving water in mountain streams. Sometimes there is only one vantage point so the zooms are very handy. I also have the Lumix 20mm 1.7 which I use as a walk-around lens on an EM-10. It is also very good. I'm going to be taking a six-week trip through the Canadian Maritime provinces later in the summer, and hope to use all three extensively.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any experience yet with the 40 -150 Pro lens with the dedicated 1.4 teleconverter?</p>

<p>I really like this little camera. Easy to haul around, and with the Panasonic 20 mm it's just the right field of view for me. Plus nice features. Didn't get anything worth showing during a trip to Key West, but the basic snapshots looked great.</p>

<p>Thanks for the tips. First use coming up Sunday and Monday during a trip to Key West, Florida.</p>

<p>Just picked up a reconditioned original EM-10 to go with my EM-1. I love the size for non-critical travel and walk-around stuff. I'm pretty sure my Panasonic 20mm 1.7 will be permanently attached.<br> Anything I should know in particular? Set it up in a pretty standard way, I think.</p>

<p>Greg - are those Water Moccasins? Wow, too close for my comfort.</p>

<p>I just ordered this. I'll let you know what I think not that it matters. Hopefully it has some step-by-step instructions for setting up custom menus, etc. That's the help I need.</p>

<p>Thanks for your answers. Just ordered one from B&H. I'll use it for some "intimate" landscape stuff I like to do, and my son will use it for his underwater stuff. In a housing, of course.</p>
