Re: Lenses for M43

When considering the 12-32, remember that it was manufactured for the GM1 and GM5 so it is a very small lens. The 35-100 mini is another lens that is aimed at the GM series. If you do not need the manual focus capability, the 12-32 is a sharp, lightweight lens. The 35-100 mini is also sharp and worth the money...as is the 42.5 1.7. Add those to the 15 1.7 and you will have a capable group of lenses. As for the 14-42 II, you should have no problems with that lens. I had the 14 - 45. It was the "kit" lens with the Panasonic G1. After acquiring the 14 - 42 II, I gave the original 14 - 45 to a friend and kept the newer and lighter lens. Either one will work well.
