The Olympus OM-D and its stabilization makes handholding teles with 
magnification, even the 400/6.8, quite possible. On the M(10), I have hopes 
that the focus peaking will also make it possible to get good focus without 
the magnification. Depends how it's implemented. We'll see. Without 
stabilization, I agree, the magnification makes it very difficult.
