Hello everyone. I'm going to acquire a modern travel camera for trips with my family.
I want to build a vintage MF lens kit for my Panasonic gx80 to be used for landscape and portraits in specific moments.
I don't mind wide angles as I use then rarely.
In the past I had bad experiences adapting Olympus pen lenses to apsc, while I got nice ones with MD primes.
Thanks everyone

I've had good results with the 12-32mm zoom, a fast and light 50mm 1.4 for portraits (I would suggest 7+ iris blades ) and 135mm 2.8 (or 70-150mm zoom in case you don't have one already) same mount would cover most of your needs with low budget (+-100$£€both of them, just make sure to get a hood also)

I have used Olympus pen lenses on MFT, they are great. My favourie ones are 40mm /f1.4, 70mm /f2 and 100mm /f3.5.
As for the wides, 20mm /f3.5 and 25mm /f2.8 also aren't that bad.

I think my first one could be a 100mm mainly for portraits.
My Copy of pen 100/3.5 was not so good.
I'm wonder if It Is better to adapt a older lens like the pen or the Canon 100/3.5 ltm with a short register distance or newer ones like the MD 100/2.5 or the Olympus Om 100/2.8

Thanks for helping
