    For most of you users of the M lenses, which micro 4/3 brands & models would you recommend?

    Which would be compatible also for Canon EOS EF lenses?

    Through the years, glass has accumulated and I am seriously considering getting a body to optimize these glass collection I have.:confused: :confused:

    The Olympus Electronic Viewfinder EVF-2 is still considered the best all-around for dynamic range. I bought an EP-2 for this reason.

    The NEX line offers 1.5x instead of a 2x crop. 2x crop: everything is a telephoto. The 1.5x- at least close to a Leica M8. If I were buying today: I would either go with an Olympus EP2 again, still available at big discounts OR a Sony NEX7.

    However- owning the EP2 for over two years, I grab the M9 and M8 over it unless I need video.

    Thank you Brian. The NEX7 was what i was looking at and have seen Canon Ef lenses perform quite well. I was hoping to hear from Leica Lens aficionados. It’s really optimizing what I have, and as you said for video and panorama no brainer shooting. My PS companion is the Japanese cousin of the Dlux5, the LX5. Looking for a Panasonic counterpart, the GF series right?
