How much of your shooting is in what range?
2

After my first trip to Europe, I went back and looked at my most used focal lengths. I found 80% were in the 12-50 range. So I spent the money on a 12-40 and have been a VERY happy camper.  FWIW, I also take my little 12-32 for my GM5, along with the 15 and 20 primes.

But that's just me. The travel zoom range in m43s is almost impossibly wide. Not a bad lens in the bunch. Bottom line: your shooting range and subject preferences should rule. There really are no bad options.

Re: the bag. I bought a PacSafe camera bag that is green (!!) so (a) it's not a camera bag color and (b) has a lot of inconspicuous protection built in. It's also a very useful and adaptable bag.

Have fun and don't let the gear get in the way of the experience!
