there is a reasonable (costs) package available locally for the gx1 + 14-42 + 45-200 - so i was also wondering would the 45-200 be about the same quality as 45-175, nice and good and sharp[/quote]
That´s the older 14-42mm or the latest "Powerzoom" one? The original 14-45mm kit lens is definitely better than the "older" 14-42mm. Else, amongst the mid-range zooms consider also the M.Zuiko 40-150mm, which is not bad at all (no image stabilization on Pana bodies though).
