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!
