Regarding the 12-32 lens,, the only "problem" that springs to mind is that,, I use my LX7 as my main camera and with the 24-90 lens it gets 95% of the shots I take,, I'm not sure if the shorter zoom on the 12-32 would start to pee me off with possibly having to change lenses more often ?. Not having had a micro four thirds camera / system before I don't know if this would be the case or not, or if in fact there is a lens that would cover the same range as the 24-90 of the LX7,,,,

Similar situation to me. I moved up from an LX5 to an M4/3 camera last year and went with the GX85.

I had the same concern about focal length with the kit 12-32mm lens so I asked the store to swap it out for the 12-60mm lens which covered the same wide angle and went a bit further on the telephoto end. It's been a good lens for that.

Of course, I've since added more lenses to my bag.

Thank you Pete,,

That lens sound good, and its given me something else to check out.

Roland.

I've been in M43 system sinc 2009. If I was starting in it today, I'd do what Pete suggests.

I currently have the GX7 and the GM5.  I particularly like the option of the all electronic shutter on the GM5. I'd happily replace them both with the GX85 which also has the electronic shutter.
