Re: GX80 or GX800 with kit zoom?

I was all in favour of the Olympus 12-40 for street photography (with my Olympus em5 mk2).

Then I began to suffer from 'lens-droop' - that is one heavy beast???

So, after a bit of research, I attached a Panasonic 14-45 to the front. OK, you don't get the 2.8 business end, but is that REALLY so necessary in street stuff????

It's compact, much less of an arm or shoulder strain, and I defy anyone but the most determined pixelbore to find any quality difference.

Just a slightly negative comment on this thread, with the meteoric rise in 'street photographers' has come a mediocre rise in 'people walking through streets' shots - doing nothing more interesting than 'walking through streets'...... sorry.

TAXI...........
