Last summer I was in Mishima (one hour away from Tokyo) for three weeks, and I sure sure a fast trip to Tokyo. One of my knees was hurting quite a bit, so I limited myself to Shinjuku area Got a second hand 12mm f2.0 in perfect condition for half the retail price at Map Camera (super helpful staff with my non-existant japanese and their basic english). Then, I escaped the down-pouring rain visiting all the floors of the Yodobashi store and later the BIC Camera by Shinjuku station. I was impressed: they had every lens and camera! Not to mention the incredible amount of accesories. Only pity, they had the 12-50mm at around 11000Y(100€), but no stock... It was a bargain for an all-round lens with a macro mode.

Interesting - I will check out Map Camera, as I used lenses are the most likely thing to purchase for me. My wife would not be impressed if I brought a new camera back, although I think she is half expecting it to happen...

No sign of the 12-50 at all so far - the 14-150 and 12-40 seem to be the kit lenses on the E-M5II here. I sold my 12-50 and can't see getting another one, even at $100, except perhaps to pair up with a body for one of the kids.
