I'm considering letting the Oly go and replacing it with a Panasonic 14-45mm f3.5-5.6.

Why, because the 12-40 is just TOOOO BIG AND HEAVY.

I don't really need f2.8.

I've had the the Panny 14-45 before, years ago, beautiful little lens.

'Little'...isn't that what M4/3 is supposed to be all about?

Or the Oly 14-42mm IIR kit lens which I have.  I don't have the Pany 12-32mm though I've heard only good things about it.

'Little' - absolutely agree.  That's why I'm here with 4 primes - 14mmf2.5, 17mmf2.8, 25mmf1.8 and 45mmf1.8.
