[QUOTE="SteveClifton, post: 1764599, member: 48420"] I [B]like the idea[/B] too Kristoffer, but the problem with trying to be a 'jack of all trades' is that you don't become master of any. I don't currently know of any micro-fourthirds lenses that work well for digiscoping apart from the Panasonic kit lens. As an Olympus owner/user I am genuinely baffled by the Whole 4/3 & micro-4/3 system with different lenses and adapters, with questionable interchangeability between each manufacturers' equipment. It all seems a bit half-baked to my mind and has become a bit of a mine-field for the average lay-person to understand. No-doubt about it though there are some excellent new products in the m4/3system, it just all lacks cohesiveness for me. I prefer to keep my current digiscoping and DSLR kit completely separate. Perhaps it's more expensive that way but at least I have tried and tested kit for each job. Steve [/QUOTE]
