I've gone back to the roots of micro four thirds ( a small camera and small, lightweight lenses), as my walk around kit. It consists of the GM5, 12-32, 35-100 4-5.6, 20 1.7II and my generic 8mm fisheye. Everything fits in a small bag. Wonderful, and a pleasure to take everywhere without hesitation.

We've ended up in a similar place! I have a GM5 and the 2 Pany zooms, plus an Olympus 9 f8 fisheye bodycap, a Ricoh 37mm .8x wide converter, and a 15 f1.7. A 45 f1.8 and/or macro add-ons are carried as required, and everything fits into a small space.

The camera plus 12-32 fits into most of my chest pockets, and sits nicely on a Capture Clip attached to a rucksack shoulder strap too. FWIW, the GM5 panorama mode combined with the fisheye bodycap can produce interesting results.
