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 owned many m43 lenses including the 14-45, 12-32 and 12-35 2.8.

The 14-45 is relatively bulky and doesn't offer noticeably better IQ when compared with the 12-32 which is much smaller, lighter and starts wider (but is more limited in the tele range).

I wouldn't bother with the 14-45 if little is what you're after...

The 12-32 scores relatively poorly in most lens revues.
