Just about to pull the trigger - GX7, 20mm, 45mm

I've been a long-standing and very happy LX3 user. The ability to carry such a good camera in my pocket is just great, but always been slightly constrained by DOF, focal length and no viewfinder for the wife.

So after whittling away at the list of other things to spend my money on, have reached the camera replacement.

Generaly we photograph people, street and landscape, generaly when travelling, hiking, sailing and skiing. I really value small size, my wife wants to get back to a viewfinder

So the plan is to get a GX7 plus 20mm and Oly 45mm f/1.8

Follow that up with the Gm1 plus 12-32 when the bank balance has recovered, use the Lx3 as the small one until this time.

The GM1 will really be attractive when/if they do a kit of 12-32 + 35-100. Anyone know any dates for the 35-100?

Any way, that's the plan. Anyone with this setup with anything useful to add? Amy I going to cover my needs? I think so!

These are the cameras I have. With the GX7 I use the 12-35 and the 35-100 almost all the time, and that's really all I need. A few times I use the 45 macro or the 7-14. It is a splendid camera, and these are splendid lenses.

I use the GM1 with the 12-32, a realy good kit lens. Very few times I put the 45-150 on, while the Sigma 60, an excellent lens, is collecting dust.

The GM1 is great to carry in the pocket of the jacket or coat, but I much prefer to use the GX7: EVF, tilting screen, much better manual controls, feels better in my hand. This is totally personal, though.

You will enjoy both and the lenses you mention.
