Would you bother with the 12mm F2, 17mm f1.8 or 45mm f1.8 if you had the 12-40 f2.8 Pro?

But one lens that really won my heart is the Lumix 35-100mm f:2.8. Is without doubt the sharpest lens I've ever owned. And the focal range is growing on me. I still use the 12-40mm primarily for events, but for portraits and even distant group shots, the 35-100 it is.

The size, speed, performance and range of that lens does seem perfect as a companion to the 12-40 for me also.

I'm sold to fast lenses, so my plan for the next couple months is to sell the 20mm, the 12-50mm and the 9-18mm, and invest on the Olympus 7-14mm f:2.8.

I also have the Samyang 7.5mm f:3.5. Is a great sharp lens, although a bit slow, so is not very usable for starry night and milky way photography, which I plan to do very often this year. For that matter, I'm also thinking on replacing it with the Olympus 8mm f:1.8.

The 7.5mm is a little gem with a great price/performance ratio for sure. Don't know if I could ever justify the Oly 8mm though!

The Olympus 40-150mm f:2.8 was never appealing to me, mostly because of its size and weight. But if I ever feel the need for something longer than 100mm, I think the new Leica 100-400 will be the ticket.

I feel the same way about the 40-150 also. When I do use my 40-150R, I'm nearly always at the long end, so if I'm going to go as big as the 40-150/2.8, I'd like more reach also. The 100-400 looks very interesting for it's range and size.
