    I dunno. The flood of cheap 3rd party lenses (Viltrox airs, Sirui snipers, Thypoch 24-50, Tamron…) kinda put old M43 lenses to shame, for less money, while being smaller and built for bigger sensors.

    Native OM lenses are expensive. Sync IS doesn’t work with Panasonic.

    I’m not sayings its a terrible mount like RF, but they are starting to lose the value and size advantage because there is so little R&D done for M43. You could get a much sharper image out of an old sony/nikon/fuji body + a $150 Viltrox Air.

      Yeah, then do that. My point is that it doesn’t take a lot of money to surpass flagship smartphone cameras anymore. Plus Google is not obsessively looking at your dick pics that way.

        …It will soon though. Thats what Im saying.

        Current Xiaomis and Hisense, and the next iPhone, are gonna be straight up better than a $1800 OM-3, hand down. At least outside of the supertelephoto range. Loifc is a HUGE deal, it is coming to most smartphones, and OM’s processing is stuck in 2015.
