OM-D Lens combination

[subzero]

Thanks guys for suggestion, i have just bought OM-D silver with 12-50mm kit since they do not sell body alone. I am selling away 12-50mm to fund for 25mm f1.4 for the start while waiting for 12-35mm to be out in the market.

If you have the spare cash, I think you should keep the 12-50 until you have the 25/1.4, cos the latter can be hard to find and you'll be without a lens in the meantime if you sell the former first. Better still, keep until the 12-35/2.8 is released. You never know what kind of delays can happen with a new lens launch, and the price might scare you off. (Rumors say upper US$1000s!)

Good suggestion, there is already someone interested to get my 12-50mm if he back out then I will probably keep the lens. Anyway i have tried out the lens and macro seem quite useful. I supposed 12-35mm will be lower but close to dslr 24-70mm f2.8 lens price.

I am secretly hoping that Olympus will release weather-sealed Mk II versions of its excellent 12/2 and 45/1.8 to compete with Panasonic's 12-35/2.8. Even better if Panasonic also releases weather-sealed Mk II versions of its Leica DG lenses!
