Your own e-pM2 will work nicely with the VF-4 viewfinder ... just a suggestion.

Good point, I haven't thought of the VF-4 option for a while. I like that it offers me the same IQ as the E-M5 in a pocketable package, but the rear "dial" is fiddly and starting to act up, so it would be frustrating as a primary camera for any serious use. But, it's ideal as a walkaround body, and having a VF would be nice for bright days. I will keep my eyes open for a cheap VF-4. And a cheap 14/2.5 would make it even more pocketable. I kind of botched my 12-32 loose ring fix, so don't have a lot of faith in that lens anymore. I used too much adhesive tape, so the ring didn't quite slide on all the way, and now it will never come off without destroying the lens - I tried, and the outer barrel started to separate from the rest of it. Since I used it primarily as a 12mm lens, a cheap 14/2.5 would probably be a good enough replacement and not require extending the lens every time.
