Hi,

The weight of the 12-40 when it's attached to a body never satisfied me, it felt like a small DSLR like a Canon 100D or Nikon D3300 and not like a marvel any longer to the ingeniousness of a small and light camera. The depth of field control at F/2.8 on Micro Four Thirds has never satisfied me either. I shoot with the 12mm F/2 and 20mm F/1.7 primarily as a result.

If its not doing it for you then feel free to change something, buy another prime, or perhaps one of the light weight zooms such as the Olympus 40-150 F/4-F/5.6, or alternatively one of the 14-140 or 14-150 lenses from Panasonic, Olympus or Tokina.
