GX7 and lenses

The G9's EVF is the biggest and highest resolution EVF, but some people don't like it due to a bit of distortion, and it's not a mid-range camera.

The next best, about which I don't think anyone has any complaints, is the EVF in the GX8. I've seen clean used copies of that camera for sale for $500. It's bigger and heavier than the GX7, but a better camera in most every way, if you can tolerate the fully articulating LCD.

The G80/85's EVF is also quite good.

Thanks! Larger kamera, more expensive...doing fine with GX7 now, but size can be important for composition. Then there is Olympus of course.

I also mentioned lenses. 20 mm the only quality lens, got Sigma 60 mm and cheap zooms. How good is my old 45-150? Mentioned primes, but as I walk around town a quality zoom could be more important. The 12-60 2.8 - 4.0 is a bit over my budget. Alternatives?
