Should I trade my m43 system for Sony RX-10

Thanks for the link. I am sorry, but I am not qualified to understand your link. This lens would probably need an adapter. Can you suggest the adapter as well.

Also, is there longer zoom range available at fast aperture (but still cheap).

Thanks.

Can't exactly recommend much myself but the Minoltas and Olympus lenses are reportedly good.

Here is the Minolta, but shop around depending on where you live:

The Olympus' go for more but don't pay too much. 50mm/55mm 1.4/7's etc go cheap as well, and may be better for concerts as they are more compact and faster.

There is a Minolta 200mm F3.5, but I am not sure of the market value of these lenses, but most sellers with experience do.

The Minolta MC/MD is the same mount and so just grab a MC/MD to m4/3 adapter, I've bought the one sold by "Fotga" (it hasn't arrived yet, so no advice on it).

Soligor from what I understand is just an American trade name of imported Japanese lenses, so it's a Minolta mount as said. There are some other brands that are more budget and shouldn't pay too much for (Hanimex, Tamron, Vivitar). Some of them are just rebrands of other lenses, so for this reason and with good feedback I'm sticking with Minolta lenses.

The best thing to do is google around. I'm pretty new to all of this as well, but I think it is worth buying one of these as your specific issue is with concerts. I don't know about the lighting at these events though so I can't comment on how fast of a lens you need, it will depend between indoor and outdoor etc.
