Re: Is Panasonic 14-45 still ... and focus change :)

Lots of good advices, thank you.

12-32 is surely not a choice, I am not a wide fan, my (realistic) dream lens would be something like 18-70 3-5-4.5, or 16-70/4, such lens exists for other brands, and I would love having such glass instead the current offering. I know these lenses are not for MFT, the other brands use APS-C, but as I said, I am rather leaning to tele side than to wide.

As a result of my preference, and digging more, I think will change my focus to Olympus 14-54 2.8-3.5 with MMF adapter. Was a bit hesitant due to weight, but after testing a 500 grams lens on a NEX, I think will be fine with this choice, that also save me buying a standard prime, because this zoom will give me 2.8 at 25mm, enough for my bokeh needs.

Now tell me I am wrong
