Thanks you all =)

So what would you all recommend since I already have the 25mm 1.4? A good secondary lens for around 350-400? Maybe slightly more depending.

Olympus 45mm f1.8 if you like the focal length. Nice lens. It or the PL 25 f1.4 are usually on my camera.

I've been trying so hard not to hit the 'buy it now' button on eBay for a Samyang 35mm 1.4 (I wish there was a video version for 4/3 too). Why did not I see this before I bought a 20, 50, and 85?? That would've been my perfect single lens :)

Three obvious possible choices to me:

12-50. Yes it is slow, but you have fast covered already. Good zoom range, good IQ, weather sealed so you can shoot in any conditions. If you didn't get the kit already then you can always pick it up off Amazon or these forums from people selling off their kit lens. Probably run you about $320-$380.

45 f/1.8 would be another excellent choice if you like to shoot portraits or just want more reach.

14 f/2.5 if you want to be able to shoot wider. You can get this one pretty cheap by purchasing it used. Shouldn't cost you more than $200, probably less.

I just bought the OM-D, and with all my 4/3rd lenses feel well covered if a little over weight ;)

8mm FE; 14-54Mk1; 50-200SWD; 35macro; and with adapters - OM50/1.8 and Nikkor50/1.4.

So why do I keep hankering after the 45mm 1.8 or 12-35 Panasonic.. sigh

No brained for me. The 12-50 "kit" lens. My copy is sharp. Nice range from wide to telephoto and am to to boot. My first and only lens for the mu4/3 for quite a while and it is a lot of fun to shoot with great results and splash proof. If I had to give it all up today and keep one that would be it.

25/1.4.

If you already have that, and want something else- the kit zoom! I sold mine to fund the PanLeica, and miss it haha
