The kits I am looking at are the e-pl2 with 14-42 mark11 and the 40-150
I would have to buy the vf-2 seperately the e-p2 kit comprises the e-p2
with 14-42mark1 and vf-2. I will not get the 17mm oly lens as it seems
the 20/1.7 panasonic lens betters it.
I think if I am buying with my heart the e-p2 looks so nice but If I am
buying with my head the e-pl2 is probably a better option. so do I buy
with my head or heart?.
once again rereading my posts from yesterday I should apologise for my
typos, often I reply in moments snatched moments when looking after the
kids and don't get time to proof read then before I have to rush off to
find out what they have broken now ;-).
