This D600 you see in my gear list is partly to blame for my inquiry

I picked up a bargain-priced D600 which I performed some minor cosmetic repairs and sent off to Nikon for shutter replacement. It came with two manual focus lenses, 35/1.4 and 85/1.4. It's only been a few days and I'm still waiting for it to come back from Nikon.

I need to make a quick decision on whether to sell this bundle for a small profit, or adopt it for real use, in which case I'll need to throw more money at it, including an external flash and some AF lenses. If I'm going to sell it, I'd rather do it while the date on the Nikon repair receipt is still fresh.

I see. Well I suppose then you have to decide between the D600 and the SONY A7R/A7R-II. Nikon would be a cheaper way to go and since you will soon have the camera in your hands, I suppose you should see if you like the Nikon. If it doesn't work out you can always sell and try a SONY.

Whichever full frame you decide for I still don't see any reason why you should dump your portable Olympus kit. Keep the E-PM2 + 20/1.7 and 12-32 lenses as your portable kit. Pick up a Panasonic GM or a E-PL7 eventually to replace the E-PM2, if you wish.
