I plan to use all the lenses I have of course! That said, I'll probably sell the 14-42mm kit lens alongside my E-PL6 and while the Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 is nice, I'm probably eventually going to buy either the Olympus 75-300mm or the Panasonic 100-300mm if I feel like it. My primes, Panasonic 25mm f/1.7, Olympus 45mm f/1.8 and Olympus 60mm, I do plan to keep even in longer run though.

I noticed the £200 cashback on GX85 too late, though I wonder if any reputable company had even shipped to Finland. It seemed like an amazing deal and an amazing cashback since it wasn't tied to the country of the buyer.

If I were to buy a camera right now, at least locally E-M10 mk2 would actually be slightly cheaper. That said, I don't remember seeing any local Panasonic cashbacks on cameras while I really expect E-M10 mk2 to get a 100€ cashback in May or June at latest just like last summer and last Christmas. Then again who knows. Sales by retailers might make a difference as well.

IMO: EM-10 MKII is very small and if you intend to use it comfortably with bigger lenses you have to take into account buying also the ECG-3 grip, so add another 50€ 😉
