What I would do - and did

I'm thinking the choices are:

1. Stay with the 14-140mm plus 12-32mm, but that does nothing to extend my experience

2. 35-100mm plus 12-50mm, and really get to grips with them

3. 45-150mm plus 12-50mm, the lightest combination and it gives the longest reach.

(I have the wide angle and low light bits sewn up, with small lenses.)

This part in parentheses would be decisive for me.

What would you do?

35-100 on one body, wide or low light lens on the other.

What else do you really need? Covering all FLs is a marketing gag.

BTW I travelled quite a bit in 2015-18 with the Ricoh GR for WA (14mm M43 equivalent) and the O 2.8/ 60mm for landscapes, flowers and portraits plus the 4-5.6/40-150, if there were birds or other wildlife around. I also had a Samyang 7.5 FE, but hardly ever bothered to take it out of the bag.

I have to say, this setup was more comfortable to use than the 12-100 on the GX8; but I hated to buy the GR3 at 1k EUR, that has the same dust issues as my GR did.
