Just to be clear, I was not speaking of the original 14-140 f4-5.8 which is distinctly different.  I have had both versions and the f3.5-5.6 is much better optically plus smaller and lighter!  And ...

Good question that can be interpreted different ways. The GX85/80/81 came with the 12-32 so the 12-60 is *new* in that sense. Panasonic is also known for new finished that qualifies as *new* to the ...

Very well written, and I do agree with everything you say!  Never owned anything but a GH1 but I cannot say enough about the G80/81/85 model. It is a very well rounded camera at a fair price ...

Get the 14-42 first and shoot heavily.  You will naturally find a few focal lengths you prefer and that can instruct your prime selection for general photography you seek. Some people gravitate ...

I want to chime in and say when I first used the 20mm in 2011 on the GH1, it took a long time to focus in low light and even not so low light or hunted. When I finally got to the GX7 everything ...

I will take the 14-140 and the 15.  That fits in the bag nicely. Much as I would like a 12, I think it is true, the Lumix 12-60 and 12-35 just are too big for that last 2 mm.  I may take the Oly ...

Thanks!

Based on all the responses it sound as if the 12-35 stays home

That is good advice!

Thank you for the advice

Thanks. Great idea but i will be divorced if I buy another lens!

... do you want a prime or a zoom... only you can answer that, but an interesting suggestion came up in another thread about using the Laowa 7.5 mm f/2. It is manual focus, but at that focal ...

Going to Austria (Vienna), Slovenia and Croatia, with a good mix of city (Vienna, Ljubljana, Piran, Dubrovnik, Split) and country (Bled, Plitvice and small towns and wineries) Primary camera G85 ...

are nice for night, low light, indoors, etc. and are small and light and often available used. you do lose your weather sealing however the 20 is small and light but not good for video so that ...

C. Keep them both and get a fast prime. 15 or 17 For me the 14-140 is a brilliant men's for walking around when there is good light. The 2.8 is really useful in lower light situations, especially ...

but it also takes stills. :) Seriously it depends as always my 12 mp GH1 would fall apart around 800 and was unusable at 1600.  My 16 mp G85 at 1600 is much better than the old GH1 at 800 and some ...

While the GX9 would be high on the list for its 20mb latest gen sensor and 5 axis IBIS the EVF and grip would be 2 things you should SEriously evaluate by handling. I think it is a love it or hate ...

I do agree that photography is a perishable skill that needs constant refresher training to keep up the skills, I suppose like combat, or most sports, especially those that require high hand eye ...

I agree  it is a small sample but over time I have owned six MFT bodies and never had any such issues, in fact no Issues at all that were not self inflicted

I have both those lenses and they are very good but of limited use indoors because they have a small Max aperture of 3.5. But either one is a fabulous kit lens do everything for most situations. I ...
