No one mentioned the Olympus 12-50mm lens. I know it didn't get great reviews, but it is splash proof and has a macro mode. It is a very useful walk around lens.

I love mine. I find it pretty sharp across the range, getting a bit soft on the corners wide open. If it were a tad bit smaller, it would have stayed on my E-M10 all the time. Maybe when I switch bags, It'll come back to be the lens-to-store the camera with. Right now is the 14mm, since is so tiny, it fits in a pocket made for the body with no lens.
