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?

20 and Sigma 60 are both great. I had the Panasonic 45-150 for a while and thought it was quite good, especially for the price.

A lot of people here say that the much less expensive Panasonic 12-60 f/3.5-5.6 has image quality close to the PL 12-60 f/2.8-4, so you might want to check that one out. I have not used either of them.

The 14-140 f/3.5-5.6 is a very good quality superzoom. The newest version is weather resistant, but if that's not important to you, a used copy of the non-weather-resistant version might be reasonably priced. Then you could sell your 45-150.

Do not get the older, bigger, worse 14-140 f/4-5.8. For an explanation of these three lenses, see this post: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62835239

So you are talking about the 2013 14-140? Can see such lenses from $ 500 to 1000, a bit difficult to say which is what.

The 12-60 you mention is $500 everywhere. Guess it is a lot better than the worst (according to this forum) small 14-42 I bought with an Olympus camera. Not to mention the G3 kit lens which I can "give away" with the first camera I sell...

My long zoom may not be that bad, will use it a lot now. Just checking some results.

Good to hear what you say about the Sigma 60mm!

Mentioned primes earlier. Maybe forget that for a while. Not a specialist in any way.
