M43 made me fall in love with photography again

I have had a similar kind of experience with M43. I have been shooting Fujifilm X mount since 2021 (using Nikon DSLRs before that) and I switched back to Nikon with a Z6 in 2023 (it was also my first full frame mirrorless after using a full frame D700 years ago). I thought that was it, that I would

Buy OM-5 bundled with 14-150mm f4-5.6 PRO lens and you are good to go.

Jumped onto the M4/3 boat - OM5

Welcome to micro four thirds ! The OM-5 is a great camera, even if it has its weaknesses. It's interesting to see such old kit lenses used on this body ! I'm personally not a huge fan of the OM-5's plastic body (and most importantly is was too expensive for me) so I settled on an older Olympus E-M5
