Olympus E-M1 Mark II and the underrated "plastic fantastic" Oly 40-150 
f/4-5.6. So many copies are available used. I got mine for a song. I 
think inexperienced people try this lens once or twice, get blurry 
pictures because they don't bump up their ISO, become frustrated and 
sell them.

The image quality is only a little less than the one kilogram Olympus 
50-200 f/2.8-3.5.  I'm glad I ended up with both. The light one is for 
travel and general carrying around. The Big One is for Really Serious 
Stuff and the need for speed--with the proviso that if it's more than 
200 feet from the car, it's not photogenic. (Supposedly Ansel said that).

Enjoy!
