Probably the best regarded kit zoom in the whole system. A gem of a lens
2) Panasonic 14-140mm
I would personally not bother. But it really depends on your needs and shooting style.
4) Panasonic or Olympus 40-150mm
Instead of those, I would consider either 35-100/4.0-5.6 if you want really small, or 45-175/4.0-5.6 if you want better reach and better quality.
To sum it up. I'd go for one of those three configurations
- 12-32 + 35-100 - for ultimate compactness
- 12-32 + 45-175 - for a tiny walk-around kit (12-32) and a robust option when more reach is needed
- 14-140 + 42.5/1.7 - one all-around lens and something for those bokehlicious shots
Thanks. I am thinking of getting 12-32 + 35-100 (probably used one to save the money) and 42.5mm F1.7.
How good or bad is the 45-175mm lens? Heard that it is a lens with all kinds of issues - image quality, IS problems, build problems etc.

9-18 + 12-32 + 42.5 + 35-100 is often my day or outdoors kit, covers just about everything for me. Often I'll leave behind the 35-100 or the 42.5 in favor of a fisheye tho, but I love that all those lenses are so so compact. If there was no 35-100 I'd probably have no tele longer than a 60mm.
Panasonic GX850
Sony a7R IV
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm F1.8
Panasonic Lumix G 42.5mm F1.7

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
