Hi

I'm trying to solve the ONE and only lens travel/holidays problem

I am unstatisfied with my pana 14-140 ( my third ...)

The 12-100 f4 is too big , and for more than half the price I can get that 750D with 18-135

The 18-135 has long interested me , some of my m4/3 colleagues say it's almost as good as the 12-100 . The focal range is for me ideal . At only 350 euros the combo would be just fine for very occasional ( maybe twice a year ) short holidays ( about a week , air travel ) with no real fear of losing the gear or breaking it. For photography at home I have good m4/3 zooms and primes .

If I had the means I would go for a fuji body and the Fuji 18-135 , another lens I find excellent .

Thats exactly why I'm selling my GF6 twin lens kit. Completely sick of swapping lenses. I had a 650D with the 18-135 STM lens and it was a cracker. Just bought a 700D and will be pairing that with the Canon 18-200 or the Tamron 18-270 depending on what I can find on the used lens market. Your 750D will be every bit as good as your Oly, especially if you pair it with good glass and the 18-135 STM or USM are both good lenses.
