Re: EM1 Mk2 USB cable
Should do, it is just a USB-C slot.
In fact, I'm sure I've used a generic USB-C cable on mine as the original is still in the box and I've done the firmware update.

Re: Interesting article about EM1 Mk2
As the saying goes, the most important part of a camera is the 12" behind it, which this article ably demonstrates - it is fantastic photography from someone who clearly understands light.

Re: EM1 Mk1 vs Mk2
The venerable Nikon D700 was 'only' 12.2 and that was lauded as the best sensor for a loooong time. It's funny, I remember at the time of getting a D700 it truly was amazing and my memories of it...

Re: EM1 Mk1 vs Mk2
That assumes the same generation of technology, which these aren't.
My experience mirrors Pauls, the sensor is better and I also find slightly better colour retention in shadows on the mk2.

Re: Iona Fisher - first such attempt
Good efforts.
The white balance is way off though, you can do something about that as she is fully lit by the same colour light, it only gets tricky if there are different colour lights at the...

Re: Oly 40-150mm Pro
The 40-150 is my favourite lens and covers pretty much everything I need, if I could have only one lens it would be this (main usage of travel and landscape).
I also have the 100-400 and it is...

Re: Time to say goodbye ?
You probably need a DSLR for your shooting (having watched and read the tribulations for a looong time) but you probably don't need the D500, anything this side of a D7000 would do what you need and...

Re: Delay before I can take the next shot
This is entirely un-necessary as unless you are filling the buffer the memory card speed makes little difference. I occasionally use cards even slower than this and in general use they are fine.

Re: E-M10 Mk 2 battery life
The thing about all mirrorless cameras is that they don't really work on 'number of shots" but more 'time switched on'.
If you've had the camera switched on for large swathes of the time it will...

Re: 25mm (50 FF)
FoV of a normal lens is actually rather different to the human eye, it's the perspective that is similar.
I rather like a normal lens, I find the images very easy to view which can be ideal for...

Re: 17mm f1.2
It's funny, I just don't get 35mm (FFE) focal length - just find it difficult to see a shot - much prefer 50mm or 28mm.
Strangely though, I always like the shots I end up taking at that focal...

Shame about the others being OOF, have you played with the loose-tight setting at all?

Re: L-Fn shifts S-Af - C-Af
It's my last bugbear of Oly cameras, that many functions can't be toggled with switches (exposure mode would be handy, as would AF) and everything has to be presets or the SCP.
