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 (see this review). After that, I'm not sure. I'm considering:

Needs:

  • Every day prime lens. Just not sure what length I want to be shooting at: 12mm? 17mm? 20mm?
  • Meetings, often in low-light conditions. This is where the 75mm f1.8 comes in.

Bag

I have the BlackRapid Metro camera strap. In theory, the Snapr 35 would have been 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've narrowed down my bag choices to:

I'll probably get a Tom Bihn 3D mesh organizer cube to hold various accessories and cables.

Other possibilities and resources:

Tripod

Definitely going to get a GorillaPod.
