I don't like zooms and the 12-32mm that came with my GM5 is on the shelf. One problem is that if you are set to shot at any moment, the lens is extended to about three times it's stored length. The minute you point it in someone's direction, it's almost like putting a sign on you chest that says hey, look at me, I'm a photographer and I'm taking your picture. You either wind up with a lot of canned poses or a lot of mean looks.

Seriously? the 12-32mm extended is still smaller than most m4/3's primes, pancakes apart.
