Evenas personal religions vary, so do holy trinities for photographers. I have to put in a word for nature photographers here: the 45mm macro (I got last week, whee!) tho expensive does what none of the other do: true 1:1 macro. You can see some examples at:
The other missing nature facet is telephoto for which I have the slightly short 14-140mm f4. And you are absolutely correct that the must have lens is the 20mm f1.7 kit/pancake. I may buck up that 14-140 with a multiplier when the bank account has recovered.
With regards to lenses, the system is pretty mature, and thats the stronger point of m43 today. There were few occassions where I would have loved having a longer lens (maybe in the 200mm FF equivalent range), but what I mised the most was a wider angle for urban spaces shots. The 14mm turned out not being wide enough several times for what I wanted to convey.
Excellent info.
I use Pan 17mm & 20mm also Olym 45mm on Epl3.
Very happy with kit. Hardly ever use SLR except for longer lens for nature.
The Olym 75mm would complete.
Thanks for your various blogs on related subjects.
Very helpful. Now confident to leave SLR behind except for real necessity.
