I might take the 12-50mm on my coming trip, but I don't know if I'll use it. Maybe I should try an trade it in ... I was going to take my 11-22 F/2.8 lens, that really is much like I presume the Lumix 12-35mm. But ... I think I need to add the 12mm prime, leave the bulky and slower 11-22 at home, and probably I should buy the 75mm as well: so then I'll also add the 12mm for the trip, to my 25mm and 45mm m43 lenses.

Only problem with all that is, how much will four primes and the 12-50mm weigh and how bulky will it be?

I was deciding whether I should get the Lumix 35-100mm or the Oly 75mm prime.  Finally I bought the 75mm last weekend which is smaller and a little bit lighter (60g which is actually nothing).  As compare to the old days with the Nikon and two extra lens, it is a pleasure now.

I usually travel with the kit lens 12-50 for normal use, primes 12mm as a good fast WA and the 25mm 1.4 for low light condition.  Together with the E-M5 in a backpack, its not that heavy indeed.  I am not sure whether I will take the 75mm when travelling as I seldom go that far.  Perhaps will give it a trial next time, may be something different.
