Great shot! Now I know I can use my EM5.2 and 17mm for Northern Lights, in Iceland coming September.

Thanks! You will be fine with the EM5.2 and 17mm.  I was on a moving ship, and I didn't plan to shoot Northern Lights.  If you are on stable ground, you will be in much better shape.

However, judging the OP as a new member, like me, he probably is not looking for more than one M43 body or two additional lenses. I could be wrong though

I am not suggesting two bodies.  I had them, and so I took them on the trip.  I would, though, recommend taking one's longest lens to Alaska.

I read this thread with interest because I will have a safari trip and I will probably just get a 12-200 instead of changing lenses with dust around me.

If I were buying today, I would probably get the the 12-200 instead of the 14-150. The 12-200mm would be great for travel.
