Re: Lenses for M43

I have finally decided to get the M43 body (Panasonic GX8) and chose Panasonic 15mm lens as the first lens (I will be adding Panasonic 25mm lens soon). Now I am trying to find out a couple more lenses for me. Following are the choices and I am trying to get two lenses from this list

1) Panasonic 12-32mm

2) Panasonic 14-140mm

3) Panasonic 42.5mm

4) Panasonic or Olympus 40-150mm

The selection is very hard for the zoom lens. Since I am not going for expensive zooms like Panasonic 12-35mm or Olympus 12-40mm, it is very tough to select a mid-level zoom lens. I might be using this lens for video as well. Originally I was planning on Panasonic 14-140mm, but I heard a lot of complaints that it is jittery and cannot be used for video.

Could someone please provide your recommendations and suggestions?

Regards,

Well if you don't wanna go for the 12-35 2.8, then the 12-32 is the lens to get.

Very small and very sharp for a "cheap" zoom lens.
