I'm still thinking about buying an E-M1 for its improved ergonomics over the E-M5. I'd probably keep the E-M5 as an extra body but I'm not sure about that. So far I only have 2 native lenses... the 12-50 and 14-150. They cover most of my photographic needs with the 14-150 being my everyday walk-around lens. My next native lens purchase would likely be the 9-18 to expand the wide angle range. Maybe the 70-300 later on but that's not a range I miss very often.

The 9-18 would likely be next since my EOS mount Tamron 20-40 is still amongst the missing after my return from Florida (aarrgggh!!). I dearly missed the 20mm end when I was shooting interior photos of my house to make sale pictures. But it wasn't until I was done shooting all at 12mm with the 12-50 that I remembered that I could have used my old 17mm OM-mount Tokina on the Canon 5D.

Anyhow, if I should buy the E-M1 it gives me the option to buy used E-system lenses (with native focusing performance) at what I should think would be excellent prices now. So, back to the subject question. Given what I own now is there some "must-have" 4/3 lens or lenses? If so, why?

Thanks,
Chuck Norcutt
