Re: Oly 12-40 Pro 'out'..Panny 14-45 'in'..well maybe.

Camera gear is all about compromises. Small size is good. Big f-stops are good. Low costs is good. High quality is good. Anyhow, I very much love my Olympus 12-40 f2.8 and my Panasonic 13-35 f2.8. I do shot a lot at 4.0 and faster. Also a lot at 12 mm.So those two lenses are much better for me. Smallest size is a secondary thing for me to consider. Ergonomics and quality is way above small size for me. Then again my best friend uses a Canon 5D Mk2 with a 24-70 f2.8 lens and my E-M1 with a 12-40 f2.8 is a lot smaller.
