thank you all of U guys you the Best

I can't buy oly 75-300mm (high cost for me)

ammm the 45-175mm it's very nice lens (compact - high built quality ) but also high price

I know you give me the best zoom lens to choose but Unfortunately, I can't handle the price

I found the pany for 200 usd and oly for 165 usd

but the 45-175 is 2x cost more than pany 45-200

and oly 75-300 also cost more than 2x than the 40-150

so what the best between these 2 lenses :

pany 45-200mm vs oly 40-150mm ??

One thing to think about is Chromatic Aberations. CA is the purple fringing you sometimes see in photos. The Panasonic is  high in CA. Panasonic cameras automatically correct this when it creates a jpg but the EPM2 does not. So you have to edit them out with software like Photo Shop . If you just want to take good photos without the fuss get the Olympus. The Panasonic is probably sharper overall but you may have some CA issues.  Personally I would save up my money and get the 75-300 in the long run you won't be sorry. If not get the Olympus 40-150.
