Micro 4/3 Lens Question: Two Different Goals and Applications

unless you are one of those "ultimate IQ" people. I spent a week in Ireland with basically the EM5 and the 12-50 and was very happy with the combination. (Especially the weather sealing of the pair since it was quite cloudy/misty/rainy when we were there.)

Are some of the other lenses better as far as sharpness than the 12-50, most probably, but for me the convenience of the great zoom range was more important. (Though the rumored Olympus 12-?? might pique my interest!!!)
