I've currently got Canon Eos R with 70-200 IS L and Sigma 150-600mm.
Unfortunately while I find the 70-200 perfectly managable for hand held shots the 150-600 is way too heavy for me (I mostly use that with tripod and gimbal head).
So I'm looking for a combination which has both the reach and light weight.
MFT seems the way to go but I'm not sure how it could cope with the often high ISOs needed in the UK for the restricted aperatures and high shutter speeds needed.
The Panasonic 100-300 and 100-400 seems ideal at equivalent to 600mm and 800mm max reach.
Body wise I prefer the Panasonic G9 or GH5 due to their 3.68M EVF vs the 2.36M EVF in the Olympus models and as far as I've read the listed Panasonic lenses perform better with the later Panasonic bodies. However the autofocus is better in the Olympus E-1mkii and mkiii but you don't get the benefit of combined in body IS and in lens IS if using the Panasonic lenses.
@snerkler if I remember correctly you used to use Olympus before switching to Sony A9. Any advice you can give?
