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?

I was using the E M1 with the 12-40 and that combo give great output at the cost of DSLRish size and weight. You're right on the class and underappreciated 14-45 too.

My approach with M43 on my return is a priority on keeping it small with lenses like Pany 12-32 and primes.
