So now that it's proven

that Micro Four Thirds is the superior mirrorless system with comparable results to full frame for 96% of every professional photographers needs (with none of the disadvantages FF has) why aren't you out there shooting professional photos with MFT gear? You DO like photography right? You DO like money right? So why not use less money to get better MFT gear and go make more money taking pictures with it?!

Here's a complete snapshit to illustrate how insanely sharp the Olympus 12-100mm f/4 IS Pro "amateur tourist lens" is, even at it's maximum focal length and shot wide open into a bright scene. It's simply a fucking phenomenal lens and there is absolutely nothing that comes close to it's full package of features on full frame. I've included it at full res so you can pixel peep, but I had to drop the jpg quality to 68% so there may be artifacts. I also think I figured out why the EXIF wasn't showing, so hopefully it shows now.

Why would anyone want to overpay for marginal IQ gains and bokehwhore gimmicks? The future of professional photography is crop sensors, just as 35mm was looked down upon as a crop format and for mere amateurs when the professional choice was 120 film, and yet it became the future of photography for almost 80 years! Just as 35mm SLRs were seen as hobbyist toys when they first released, so too is Micro Four Thirds being unfairly maligned as an "amateur" format, when in reality it's poised to dominate the photography market in just one or two more sensor generations, ESPECIALLY with the coming computational photography revolution that Full Frame is unfortunately just too goddamned huge to enjoy any feasible benefit from.

I sold all my Nikon DSLR gear to go Sony mirrorless, and then I sold all my Sonyshit to go Micro Four Thirds. I've never made a better choice as a working professional.
