looking at the em1 markii with either the 12-100 f4 or the 12-40 f2.8

i mostly shoot landscapes and outdoors, rarely indoors.

if i get the 12-100 I will probably get the 300mm f4

Bright lenses means lower ISO or faster shutter speed. In both case, that's a plus.

For hand-held photography, a faster shutter speed is often more important than absolute sharpness. The M.Zuiko 12-40mm will offer you amazing sharpness (I'd be surprised that the M.Zuiko 12-100mm would be better) and better dynamic range (though lower ISO).

It's a must.
