USB-c is fine...that's all my mac has (besides a headphone Jack). I use a thunderbolt 3 dock to connect al my devices and it work's great.

Amen brother. Although I also did buy a powered hub to connect all my devices into. Then I only have one cable to disconnect.

Barely or silent...one still makes noise...and it ain’t the Olympus.

This is with the em1 original, not the em1ii. I have this printed as a 12x18 on my wall. It’s far from junk.

One of my favorite combos. That and the 75mm. One word of caution though. I’ve broken 2 of the lens hoods on the 12-40.

If the em1ii is in good shape and the shutter count is semi decent, that's an excellent price. As for the lens, I often see the 12-40 in great shape going for that price...that don't include lens scratches.

Get the TG5.

Minor details, but...
RRS camera plates don't support the G85, but they do for the EM5ii. I'm sure there are other manufactures that do, but I've found that having the camera plate is an essential piece of equipment. It not only allows the camera to easily attach to an arca-swiss head, but it also:
- makes for gripping easier by having a slot for your pinky
- offers an alternate mounting spot for a camera strap (I like peak design leash)
- since the plate runs the full length, the camera still sits flat on the surface. The plate also will take the wear instead of the camera, if setting on a rough surface.

No problem...been shooting with Olympus since 2007. Feel free to PM me for anything 4/3 or m4/3 related.

Seriously...look at mu-43.com for used gear.

KEH is a great company...and their camera and lens ratings are generally better than one would think.

You might be able to find a nice used one on the mu-43.com buy sell section. That's usually where I buy my used gear.

If you're planning on using some of the larger/pro lenses you may want to consider the original EM1. Just make sure it has the latest firmware update on it. In either case EM1 or EM5ii, you'll be shooting in S-AF mode. If you need C-AF, your only real option is the EM1ii or EM1x (which is likely out of your price range).

No matter which one you go with I'm going to suggest the RRS camera plate. Not only will it convert the sole of the camera into an arca-swiss mount, but it also gives your pinky finger a nice place to rest.

I used to own an em1, until I upgraded to the em1ii. 16mpx is nice, but 20mpx (on the em1ii) is a big difference, especially if you like to crop in on your images. The PDAF and CDAF of the em1 and the em1ii make it possible to have reliable AF of the old 4/3 glass (which a lot of that glass is inexpensive, but very high quality–especially the HG and SHG lineup).

In about a 1-2 months, maybe all our snow will be gone.

Looking good, if I don’t say so myself. I’m glad you like it (along with everyone else). It was a pleasure working with you on the design.

If anyone else is looking for a custom watermark, feel free to PM me.

I'll be waiting on your front porch to intercept...nevermind when you open the box and you find my em1ii ;-)
