The lens would be a birthday present for my wife; she shoots I-AUTO, despite my efforts to encourage her to take more control of the camera. Thus the lack of manual focus on Olympus bodies is not an issue.

Um, are you sure another lens is what she wants?

Good question. I would never ask because I like to give presents as surprises. So no, I'm not sure, but I was thinking that she might bring her camera with her more if she could fit it more readily in her pocketbook. The 14-42 is a bit larger than the 12-32. Otherwise I wouldn't even think about replacing it. And, no, I would not get her a GM1. She loves her white E-PM2, often expressing great joy in having it, as well as pride in the very good photos she takes with it.

What she has expressed need for is a telephoto lens for travel. I have been thinking of getting her the 40-150 R.
