Karl--you can find the PL6 at the US Olympus Refurb site. They have the camera with 14-42 for $239, and you could add the 40-150 for another $99 or so.

Thank you !

You're welcome! Though.. if your budget will extend to it, the PL7 would give you some additional features including a better IBIS system and an additional control dial on the top panel. It's $399 with the 14-42 on the Oly Refurb site.

But--do you ever feel like you need an EVF? If so, you might be better off with an EM-10 ($359 body only on the refurb site and about $399 with the 14-42 kit lens). An add-on viewfinder (the VF-4 is the equivalent of the viewfinder in the EM-1 and is terrific) will cost about $225 to $240 used, which adds to the cost of your Pen. Of course, that's not a problem if you like using the LCD and won't need an EVF. Good luck!

Thank you, all great info.  (don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but this is also good info them him/her)

I just started looking at a second body, need to price out a few, I can go $399 easy, so that might be the better camera for me, I also like the control wheel moved to the top, I had a GM1 for a few days testing and hated the wheel on the back (but I have been told the wheel on the pl5,pl6 is much better, not an issue)

Thanks again for your input.
