Dollar-wise, the E-M5 with the 14-140 might be a possible solution.  It's a 
nice lens.

I don't know why you'd buy the very expensive 12-40/2.8 to do landscape 
photography. You'll never have need for that large aperture and the 12-50 is a 
very fine lens which also offers a macro mode. Maybe the 12-40 will offer 
better test results in edge resolution, chroma and vignetting but I don't know 
nor do I know if it would be significant to the end photo.

And Moose has an E-M5 and some Pens but not an E-M1. The E-M1 and E-M5 have the 
same sensor. The E-M1 has a higher resolution EVF and what I consider some 
ergonomic improvements but does not take any better pictures.
