A year in now and I couldn't let the 12-40 go; it's an indispensable lens. Handles better on the E-M1 than the E-M5 but it doesn't overwhelm the latter, either. I have those primes and they do get use too, but for different settings, generally ones where I have more control over the variables. Plus they're not weatherproof.

The superzoom should be quite good for the category but if you have a lot of shots to compare the two you should likewise see a noticeable difference between its output and the Pro. The Pro really is a find "standard" zoom.

I'd give it more time before taking a loss on selling/trading it. You might find you want it back in a few months.

Cheers,

Rick
