Re: GX7 vs. GX85

Most buyers now might well think that the improvements in the GX85 outweigh those differences. I won't argue against that. They just weren't enough for me to give up my GX7.

As for the 14-42 v.II, it is a very good lens for a "kit" lens. Sharp, compact (only extends about 1/4" when zoomed), and operates smoothly. The 12-32 is also good, but no manual focus ring, and the "twist to open" requirement before you can shoot requires a bit of an adjustment. The lower priced 12-60 would be a good option if you can get it as part of a kit for an extra $100.

Thank you Brent,

All good points and useful info for me to consider.

I think I need to try to find a "local" retailer that has one in stock so at least I can take a good look at it before spending any money.

Roland.

Try John Lewis.
