Thanks for the responses.
If the consensus was to keep the 12-50mm because it's weather sealed, and an ok performer, I would most likely sell the 12-50mm and get the 35-100mm Panasonic, as it's also weather sealed and an excellent performer. I would miss out on the ultra-wide shots, but I think for a lens of it's performance I might be willing to sacrifice the 66mm equiv focal length.
You're absolutely right Steve. I don't plan to take any of my primes with me to South America if I have the 35-100mm.
Thanks mring. Its performance passed 30mm and my lack of video shooting and requring motorized zoom is leaning me more and more towards the Pana.
The only thing I can see myself missing from the 12-50 is the macro ability... could be very very handy at restaurants at night.
I was in Prague 2 weeks ago with the 12-50mm kit lens, 12mm 2.0 and PL 25mm 1.4 for low light indoor. Unexpected first snow in Prague did not give any problem to the OMD and 12-50mm. I was hesitate to use the primes in that weather.
You don't need macro for food in the restaurants. Here are 2 example taken with 25mm 1.4. Can work quite close. And great performance in low light condition.
My suggestion is always have a good fast prime with you. It is so light that you don't worry about it at all.
Anyway, enjoy your trip.
