I would not hesitate to suggest either the GH4 or GX8 bodies. The GH4 has excellent ergonomics and fits (my hands) perfectly. The GX8 also works well (for me) and it has the rangefinder shape that I like. Images from both cameras are excellent. As for the 15 1.7, that is another piece of excellence as is the 42.5 1.7. I like sharp lenses and those two are perfect. The 25 1.7 is a good lens, but I prefer the 25 1.4 due to the rendering of that lens. The older and slower to focus (not by much) 20 1.7 is also an excellent lens. As for longer lenses, there is a new long lens rumored to be coming in 2016 that I will be watching for. In the meantime, there is the 100-300 which I use for wildlife and get along with, but it requires an f stop of 7.1 when at full extension. The 45-175 does not give the reach, but it is a nice mid range zoom with a non-extending design. Of course the 12-35 and 35-100 constant f 2.8 zooms are great lenses and a good match for either of the two bodies that I have mentioned. I do quite a bit of printing on a wide body Epson pigment printer, usually 11 x 17, but sometimes larger. No problems. Good luck with your quest.
