Re: Travel with mFT. Advice on lens/body choice.

I'm a light traveller and often have to select my gear, when I'm hiking, travelling or sailing. It's why I got the GM1.

From your gear the minimal choice would be the PL6 (newer than GX1, some stabilization, smaller than EM10) with the 20mm (small, fast, normal FOV). From there you can build depending on the space available and your desires.

Do you want to exchange space for features, then take the EM10.

Do you gain from having a fast (mild) tele, so it makes sense to spend the space there.

Or is the convenience of the zoom worth the space you have to expend for it?

Depends on how little space and important those capabilities really are.
