The RRS plate is really well made, and $80 for the base plate is very reasonable ... but $100 for the L-component is not IMO. I am still waiting to receive my base plate. I believe all newer RRS plates comes with the built-in hex key magnetic storage, which is a nice touch.
I agree, the L bracket is prohibitively expensive. That said, I probably wouldn't use it anyway due to the fully articulated screen.

Mr Bobby, can you do just one more at ISO 64 (hi res) for us? Please? (same scene?)
I did the test last night but I wasn't too pleased with the results somehow, so I will have to do another one this weekend. There is some difference in the noise level between ISO 64 and ISO 200 ... but that is not too surprising, as there is almost a 2 stop difference in ISO rating. I think you do lose some IQ. And it would be very difficult to tell if it's better to shoot at ISO 64 ... or ISO 200 with some NR applied. Is it noise-free at ISO 64? No, I don't think it's noise-free but it's a little cleaner than ISO 200.
K-H and Mitesh ... guess what? I just ordered the Zuiko ED 150/2 lens from Olympus, as they are having fire sale with a 50% discount on all the discontinued 4/3 lenses ... so the net price including tax is $1,360. That's a real bargain price!
I rented that lens one time and shot it with my E-M1 at Bosque del Apache. It was okay for really slow-moving birds but not BIF. Hopefully AF is much quicker with the E-M1.2. Bokeh and OOF quality is as good as or better than a DSLR lens!

Congratulations Bobby. It's an amazing lens that you will enjoy immensely, as I do.

How do you find the C-AF performance on the E-M1 II?
Spectacular - just like a regular MFT lens like the 300/4 Pro - no focus hunting. Period! E-M1.2 + 150/2.0 will be my go to lens for TVIF, i.e. Turkey Vultures in Flight near their roost, as soon as they are back in NM. With regards to focus speed the E-M1.2 is in a league of its own for both Olympus FT and MFT lenses.
