Which micro 4/3 lenses?

I'm considering a micro 4/3 camera system.  I rented an Olympus, but it was too small for my hands.  I had a similar problem with the Panasonic GX8; it just didn't ergonomically fit my hand.  I've looked at the Panasonic GH4 and I like the larger size body.  I'll probably wait until the GH5 comes out, but may spring for the GH4 sooner.

I photograph mostly nature: landscapes and wildlife, including birds.  What two lenses would you recommend to complete my gear?  In the past, I've only used lenses of the same brand as the body I've had.  I understand, however, I don't need to necessarily have the same brand as long as it's micro 4/3.  Is that true?  It seems like I've read that some bodies function better with the same brand lens.  I'd appreciate your dialogue on these two issues.  I'm also trying to keep my gear on the lighter side, without sacrificing IQ.  Thanks!  Karen
