Thinking about picking up an E-M1 in a few days. Does the LEICA DG SUMMILUX 25mm work with no adapter? Thinking about getting that lens, and the 12-40 to start off with.
I was highly thinking about getting the X-T1 but the E-M1 interests me due to the IS in camera hat would help my not so steady hands

Yes, just make sure to update to the latest firmware and use electronic first curtain.
There were two versions of the Leica 25mm F1.4 lens, a big one for 4/3rds and a smaller one for micro four thirds. The big one requires an adapter, the latter does not.
A couple of my shots from my recent trip to Tucson, Arizona. I posted these ion the Landscape Forum as well. This was my first trip using only m43 Olympus gear. I really enjoyed hiking with less weight on my back!
Both pics were made using the Olympus OMD-E-M1 with the Olympus 12-40 f/2.8 Pro lens. I love this combination!
I really dislike the purple body color of the Panny 12-35 but it has it's benefits, I think it's stronger on the long end than the 12-40. The short end though, the Oly 12-40 outperforms pretty much every prime available. The downside of this is that it actually peaks at F2.8 and stopping down actually hurts performance in MTF charts. In the real world, I notice it changes field curvature at infinity so different parts of the image are marginally sharper depending on what aperture you're at.
