It’s tough, I am in a similar battle with my micro four thirds setup. But after a couple years I think I have an idea of nailing down how to cover my bases. 14-140mm: The I don’t know exactly my situation but this will cover my bases in most places with the gh6. 42.5 f1.2 Nocticron: My favorite lens, and is used a lot, great for low light, but like any prime, isn’t for all places. 200mm f.2.8: The sniper rifle, not used too much but is great for a long reaching shot. I took pictures of people on boats at a lake and could not believe the zoom even without tele convertors. 12-35mm f2.8: For most video and wide angle shots. Taking just one lens is tricky but you were thinking right with looking at that big ol’ zoom. It almost always comes down to taking two lenses. Telephoto prime, and zoom for the more wide angle/video stuff. I got rid of a lot of primes as I didn’t think they were worth it for the wider angle stuff as compared to a good zoom lens that can do very well what 4 of my wider angle primes were doing. In total, owning 4 solid lenses is what I am going to try to stick with as they cover most of what I do. The 200mm is kind of a bonus lens though I admit 😅 Do you use the 14-140mm on your g9 ii? It is a surprisingly nice zoom lens and is the closest do all that I can recommend/think of. Also thanks for the video/topic!
I had the 14-140 early on, but I was getting soft images, which I now know was my lack of paper shutter speed. It was a great travel lens. I sold it a year ago.
Due to having too much "stuff" I have slimmed down my lenses for my M4/3 cameras. I have kept a 45mm Olympus lens for portraits, my 14-140mm zoom for use as a telephoto lens and the 8-16mm for wide angle work. I mostly photograph buildings, motorcycles and landscapes so the latter lens is the most used lens. I'd love to own just one lens to do it all but it does not exist 😃 Thanks for your upload and good luck.
