I can't use zooms anymore

Ironic since zooms are what brought me to 43 DSLRs in comparison to APSC DSLRs years ago.

I got so used to m43 and FF primes that (most) zooms no longer feel flexible, they feel limited and oversized, a least to me. It's all about having a bright prime a key focal lenght, with close focusing distance and some cropping or digital teleconverter and it replaces a zoom in most cases.

Case and point today, I finally received my Lumix 12-32 after owning a GM1 for almost a year without it. Cute little lens, but even in broad daylight, I ran into limitations I had forgotten existed. F5.6 is a bit slow in the shade, ISO is bumped up or shutter speed is a bit too slow for people. And of course, there's the IQ difference.
