Threading to keep the brand/type the same.

I have a Panasonic GX85 / GX80 (depends on the market) which is a model inbetween the GX7 and GX8.

I started out with a GX1, loved it and eventually upgraded to this model. I have a Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.4 which is an absolute dream to use. Also got a Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake which is great for travel.

I've considered a FF with a fixed 50mm lens as it's the focal length I use the most but... I'm so happy with the combo that I don't really see a reason to change.

Before I had a Canon 500D with an EF 27-80 f2.8 USM however the weight was actually insane (it was around 1.7kg) especially compared to what I have now. Yeah I could've put a prime lens, but the bulk would not have been worth it. Currently at 505gram for the body + 200gram for the lens.
