Depends if you like the flexibility of a zoom as well or prefer fixed lens not tried the 150-600 but have the 150-400mm and find that more than adequate for reach Currently £500 cashback on the 150-600 lens

12-100 lovely lens one of my best buys a touch front heavy with my Om10 but great on my OM1 not sure how it balances on OM5

Agree Andrew with your comments if its a lack of desire or R&D then the options going forward with OM systems looks less than rosy I was hoping for a OM1X as next upgrade Given Panasonic's new G9 mark 2 has been overall well received if this OM1 mark 2 is not a great upgrade then I for one...
