Yes, that is the dilemma. I know the OM 1 ll comes in at 599 grams paired with M.Zuiko ED 12-40 F2.8 pro ll lens at 382 grams which just under a Kilo.
I tend to shoot between F4 and F8 so I think I'll have to choose between weight or ISO performance.
Keep in mind that f2.8 on a m43rds lens gives you roughly the same subject isolation/DoF as f5.6 in FF land.
So if you shoot at f4-f8 in FF you'll want f2-f4 in m43rds for the same look of the images. And in plenty of field sitiations, the fact that you can shoot 2 stops faster on m43rds for the same look of the image means that the DR/noise advantage of FF mostly goes away
And the 12-40mm f2.8 is a very good lens even wide open.
