Re: three options

I would like the 15 1.7 pany but i wouldn't be rushing to get the the new 25mm 1.7, its too close to 15mm and also not the best 25mm. Id rather get the more compact oly 25 1.8, even over the 25mm 1.4, which is again big.

My oly 45mm 1.8 is a real nice lens on my gm1 so id recommend that instead.

12-32 is a surprisingly nice compact lens.

i also have the 35-100 and the 45-175, both are decent, ive not had them long to decide which i prefer best but the focus on the 35-100 is faster and more accurate that the 45-175, not to say the 45-175 is bad or anything. depends if you want more reach or more compact, i like both the 175 is real handy though and actually suits the tiny gm1 well as does the 35-100.

All that said if i had a huge gx8 id get the 12-35 35-100 pro lenses.
