If you have the Olympus E-M1 or the E-M5, which of these lenses would you get rid of first, and why that one....?

Olympus Zuiko ED 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Non-SWD w/ tripod adapter (note, not a Micro, but 4/3, and I have a 4/3 to micro adapter)

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 OIS micro 4/3 mount

If I had the E-M5, I'd get rid of the 50-200 4/3 lens, because it will focus quite poorly on the E-M5, not nearly so poorly on the E-M1.

If I had the E-M1, I would get rid of the Panasonic 100-300mm lens because it's got a smaller maximum aperture and it's not as good optically as the 50-200
