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 ;-).
