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?

2nd to Hen3ry (Geoff)'s suggestion of 12-32. Similar IQ, smaller and lighter plus wider coverage than 14-45. The only advantage of 14-45 is of its lower cost.

However, 14-42 M2 could also be considered in economic terms, similar IQ (slightly better than 14-45), smaller and lighter than 14-45.
