    Budget is the least I can get away with. The Olympus EM1 plus lenses come in about $4500, which is considerably more than I would like to spend. The sony at about $2050,much closer.
    Lenses from wide angle about 10-15mm, 50,75mm? Thats why I suggested the sony 10-18, 35 and 50mm.

    Yes, thanks davsv1, I had not forgotten about the 7-14, olympus. MY research so far does not give it a very good rating so I had discarded it as a possibility. And thanks for the link, I had forgotten to look there. Good old ausphotography, lots of resources here and I not using them.
    Yes, the new em5II may be worth having a look at.

    The age of entitlement isn't over, it's just over there where you can't get to it.
    When several possibilities exist, the simplest solution is the best.

    But the Olympus 7-14 is not yet released, are you sure your not mixing it up with the 4/3 version, that is a f4 and is rather expensive $2800 if it's still available.
    So the EM1 body can be had for $1200 I would think 12-40 pro lens $1200 but as a kit $1900 rrp but should be able to get it for $1600 (12mm f2.0 $rrp $999 gotta be able to bargain it down some 45mm f1.8 $500rrp ) if you want to go prime not 12-40zoom, & 75 f1.8 $999rrp so
    EM1
    12mmf2 $999
    17mmf2 $600
    25mmf1.8 $500
    45mmf1.8 $500
    75mmf1.8 $999
    in 5 lenses or for $ 4800 rrp

    Or
    12-40
    75mmf1.8
    covers 12-70 in two lenses @ $2700 missing between 40 and 75 of course

    The 12-40 is a fine lens well made and weather sealed.

    Add the 7-14 when it come out @$1200...maybe, big guess on my part could be more could be less don't quote me on that price
    Regards

    David

    Probably the panasonic 7-14 f4.
    Thanks for your responses. I have much to think about.
