A rabbit ,a priest, and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender says to the rabbit, "what'll you have", the rabbit says, "Don't ask me, I'm just here because of spell check".............

I have had my EM 1 Mark ll for about 3 years now and I can't say enough good things about this camera and Olympus pro lenses. I have a nikon z6 that I very seldom ever use, the Oly is my go to camera, and I pretty much only use it for wildlife. You can see some of my work here, https://www.facebook.com/RayReederPhotography

The EOS R5 will change how we think about mirrorless, how we think about photography, how we think about life.
Olympus already did that for me....

Or if you shoot an Olympus EM 1 Mark ll camera, you can correct in camera before you take the shot.

Ray - You have some great pictures, especially your cover of Paintsville. I am an enthusiastic amateur concentrating mostly on birds and wildlife. I am 77 and good health with a bum shoulder that makes handling the Sigma 150-600 challenging at times. Your 300 Pro looks like a fantastic lens but not in my budget range. Thank you for responding.

Thank you Larry, look into the Panasonic 100-400, it's also a great lens.

I have been shooting an Olympus EM 1 Mark ll for about 3 years now, and I shoot with the Olympus 12-100 pro and the 300mm F4 pro and I absolutely love that camera and both of those lenses are tack sharp. Check out some of my photos at facebook.com/RayReederPhotography

here's one of the best pro capture shots I have from the EM1 Mark ll, the crossbow fired the arrow at 350 feet per second.

I concur. Olympus cameras are great and light weight. For long focal lengths you could also consider the Panasonic 100-300mm (The second version). It is cheaper.

since the new models came out there are some good prices on the Olympus EM 1 Mark ll, the Panasonic/Leica 100-400 lens is still not cheap, but it is a fantastic lens for birding at 200-800 mm at 2X crop factor.

You know I’ve never contemplated weight vs image quality
I can tell you that for air travel I purchased Olympus with 2 lenses
When I got home I wasn’t expecting what I found
Sharp,crisp,quality, colorful images even made blow ups without “grainy” results
Than I did some of my own tests against my FF nikons - I sold my nikons and shoot Olympus

same here! I love my Olympus EM 1 Mark ll and my Panasonic Leica 100/400 for wildlife, and I have a Nikon Z6 and a Tamron 150-600 that I very rarely use.

I have a Canon ProGraf 24 inch wide format printer and after the test cartridges started running out I bought Ink Owl ink cartridges and have had very good results.

like me I believe you are a good candidate for the Olympus EM 1 Mark ll and the Panasonic/Leica 100-400 lens. This combo is about as small and light as you can get, and the 2X crop factor of micro 4/3 will get you a field of view of 200 to 800 mm. But for even lighter weight, the Olympus 75-300 lens . I am 66 and got tired of the back ache and shoulder ache of my D750 and Tamron 150-600 G2. For the past 3 years now photography is fun again.

I have had the Panasonic/Leica 100-400 for 3 or 4 years now and it is a fantastic lens. I use the Olympus EM 1 Mark ll and it is my go to system for my wildlife photos. You can see samples shot with this combo here: http://www.facebook.com/RayReederPhotography

Raw Therapee for your raw files, or Darkroom, they are both open source software and free and very good, for my jpegs I use SmartPhoto editor, a fantastic program for around 50 bucks or less.
