Hi,

Advice will be appreciated regarding choice of more or less universal and afordble tele lens (~ 70-250-300 equiv FL) on m43.

Olympus 40-150 or Panasonic 45-150 plastic fantastic's.  At one point I have both but sold the Olympus as I find the Panasonic noticeably better.

Regarding body- yet looks like gx80 is way to go.

Agree.  I have a GX85.  I got mine as a bundle - GX85 + 12-32 + 45-150 - for a 'few' dollars more than the body-only.
