• the following are combinations of cameras and lenses that I would love to have

• Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II
  • almost waterproof
  • high image quality
  • fast CD AF plus, fast C-AF tracking and AF on Four Thirds lenses
  • very versatile
• Olympus OM-D E-M5 II
  • smaller than the E-M1 but almost every bit as good although no PDAF it does add a few extra functions such as 40mp hi resolution mode for static subjects
  • currently the best image stabiliser available and works on every lens and in movie mode
• Olympus mZD 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens
  • an awesome weatherproof f/2.8 ultra wide angle zoom lens
• Olympus mZD 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro weatherproof lens
  • almost waterproof
  • high image quality
  • constant f/2.8 allows indoors, low light work and may be adequate to negate needing the Olympus m.ZD 12mm f/2.0 lens and Olympus mZD 17mm f/1.8 lens
• Olympus mZD 40-150mm f/2.8 pro lens +/- MC14 1.4x teleconverter
  • a fantastic telephoto zoom with f/2.8 aperture allowing it to have a multitude of purposes from sports, wildlife, to landscapes, although, personally I would have preferred a weatherproof 200mm f/2.8 lens with nice bokeh
• a wide aperture pancake lens for jacket pocketability
  • currently, the best option is the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 pancake lens
• Olympus mZD 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens - perhaps the best optical quality shallow DOF “standard” lens with IS, Eye AF
• Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.2 portrait lens
• Olympus m.ZD 60mm f/2.8 macro lens
• Olympus m.ZD 75mm f/1.8 lens
• Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm F2.8 Power OIS lens
• Metabones Turbo focal reducer adapter for the full frame lenses

• an E-M1-like full frame mirrorless camera
  • preferably almost waterproof and with image stabiliser built in
  • preferably with radio wireless TTL flash
  • preferably with a global electronic shutter to allow full output flash sync at all shutter speeds
• a 35mm f/1.4 lens
• a 50mm f/1.2 lens
• a 85mm f/1.2 or f/1.4 lens
• a 135mm f/2 lens
• a 24-70mm f/2.0 lens
