I acquired an Olympus OM-D EM-5 on February 27, 2013. I got it with the bundled 12-50mm kit lens.

Lenses

I bought the Olympus lens hood for the 12-50mm as well as a B+W 52mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M). More on hoods and filters.

I will almost certainly be getting the 75mm f1.8 lens. After that, I'm not sure. I'm considering:

Lens catalog

Accessories

Reviews

Bags

I have the BlackRapid Metro camera strap. In theory, the Snapr 35 would have be perfect, but it was not well-reviewed.

I also bought a generic padded insert, which holds the body and a few lenses, and which I can use in any of my bags.

I could use an insert to carry this around in my backpack or other bags.

Another possibility is the LowePro S&F Utility Bag 100 AW, which I could probably use in the same way as a Snapr 35. Or, I could use the Metro strap along with a LowePro S&F Slim Lens Pouch 55 AW to hold an extra lens.

Finally, I'm considering a Tom Bihn Co-Pilot (possibly with an insert) as a dedicated bag:

Other possibilities and resources:
