I can highly recommend the cameras and lenses I use but realize there are many other combinations that would be just as pleasing. My gear: Lumix GX85, GM5, Pany 12-32, 35-100 f4-5.6, 20 1.7II, and the terrific Olympus 45 1.8. This is a small, compact kit that produces wonderful IQ, and is able to fit in a small bag or if you are creative, your coat pockets.

Thinking about this kit with the following changes just so I can stay all panasonic.

12-32mm

35-100 f4-5.6

15 1.7

42.5 1.8

Wondering why you chose the 20 and Oly 45 over the options I listed. Not looking for an argument just some additional insight.

My point of view personally:

  • Why Oly 45mm f1.8: cheaper than the Panasonic and if you have an image stabilised body (GX85) you can get max use from it
  • Why Panasonic 20mm f 1.7. For my taste, as an everyday lens, this field of view is more interesting for telling a story and less "postcard" than the 15mm, especially considering that you most likely already have a fixed 14mm in your pocket aka phone camera.
