I don't wanna go off topic, but since most of us around here are reasonably happy with the 14-140mm II, I was wondering what do you think would be a good pair for it as a second, fast prime lens.

I am on the lookout currently as the f3.5-5.6 does not help much in low light situations, and logic tells me that since the 28-280mm equivalent range is already covered, I should go for a fast nifty fifty.

Performance/budget ratio looks good for the Olympus 25mm 1.8, and with the current rebate running it is even more attractive. I could also wait for the rumored Olympus 1.2 to be released, but I'm afraid they will be way out of my budget.

I've happily paired mine with the PanaLeica f/1.4 25mm and Olympus f/1.8 45mm lens, They complement each other perfectly.

Cheers,
Paul
