Tell us about the lenses you want and we will be able to provide meaningful advise.

I ordered the GX9 because I found a great deal from Czechia that comes with the 20mm 1.7 Pany prime. I can still return this.

I'll use the 9-18mm Olympus wide zoom for sure.

I will also try out the usual 14-42 PZ kit zoom that I got used for cheap. (I like the Oly pancake zoom as well, but its reviews sound less sharp.)

It is a sharp lens, great for video because of the power zoom. This lens had no good reputation because of shutter shock on GX1 (m-shutter only), so might consider to try e-shutter to find its beauty.

I am not a telephoto guy, but I will probably get one for going to Africa in a couple months. Either the 14-140 or the 45-150 or the 45-175 or the 35-100. Not sure; I don't really plan on using the tele very much.

100, 150 or 175 might be relatively short for wild life .
