Hi all, I switched from Nikon DX over to an OM-D about 2 months ago. I purchased the 12-50 kit lens as well as the Pana 25/1.4. The 25 doesn't leave my camera unless I want to take a wide angle/landscape shot, and I've been very unimpressed with the 12-50 can do (in my hands). With Nikon, my two favorite lenses to shoot with were the Sigma 10-20/3.5 and the Nikon 50/1.4. I recently purchased the Oly 12/2 to satisfy my wide angle hunger. Yes, I know it's not as wide as I had before, but this is one awesome lens.

I'm now thinking about selling the 12-50 in order to offset the price of buying the Oly 45/1.8. Apart from losing out on weather sealing is there any reason to keep the kit lens if I have the 12/25/45 combo? Is there another zoom I should be looking into instead, maybe the 14-150? At some point in the future, I will have to look into the telephoto range of things, but for now 45 is as close as I'll need.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Greetings,

The pics you've taken with the other lenses you own look pretty impressive to me.

Maybe you can post some pics from the 12-50, and say what is unimpressive about the shots you've taken with that lens?

Regards and good luck with quest for the Holy Trinity of lenses.
