Yes it is the MK2, what I am struggling with is whether to get the 12-40, given that I already have the 12-50mm and the 45mm...I suspect that the 12-40 is a much better lens than the 12-50 and should simply think about the 12-50mm as a lens for macro...and possibly sell the 45mm, wondering if the 12-40 is going to give me similar quality to the 45mm, your thoughts?
I can imagine longing for the 40-150mm when it is available.
If you get, or keep, a second body then the 45 should probably stay on it. I keep the 12-40 on the EM-1 and the 45 on my EP-5. If you sell the 12-50 and get the 12-40 it'll be newer gear but not necessarily better. If you keep the 12-50 and get the 75, then the 40-150 becomes more utilitarian at the long end only. If you just clean everything up and get only the 12-40 and then the 40-150, and sell the 12-50, you'll have awesome and beautiful lenses but have spent $$$ to accomplish that. The 45 is a superfine lens, and in my humble opinion should be considered a keeper.
