Hello all! I've been shooting with an AF100 for the past year, and am looking to add lenses to my arsenal. I currently have the 14-140 Lumix, and a 50mm Zeiss Contax. I'm looking for some suggestions for a good wide angle, as well as something long range. My budget is 400-500 per lens. I'm open to used or new. Any advice would be helpful!
 
Can you describe what you shoot a bit? Run'n'gun, or more planned setups? A need for low light performance, or are you OK with slightly slower lenses? Are you looking mainly for zooms or primes? What mount adapters do you have, or are willing to add?

Sorry for the 20 questions, but it'll make it easier to make suggestions that work for you.

The Lumix Panasonic 7-14mm f/4.0 is a fun lens if your looking for a native MFT lens. It's not cheap at $889 but a very wide lens on the AF-100. Might be able to find a used one.
 
SLR Magic 12mm f/1.6
Olympus 12mm f/2.0
Voigtlander Nokton 17.5 and/or 25mm (f/0.95)
Try a Nikon Nikkor 85mm f/2.0 for long range (170mm FF equiv)

The olympus and nokton are above budget but are great lenses. you can also buy used.
 
I'm still using my AF100 and expect to buy a BMCC the MFT version, with that in mind I decided to equip my AF100 with cine lenses so I could use them on both cameras. I went with 5 Rokinons the 8mm, the 14mm, the 24mm, the 35mm and the 85mm. I filled in with a 50mm Nikon Ai and a 80-200 Nikon Ai-s. This is what my AF100 package looks like now. I also have several MFT lenses and have them available for use with either the Panasonic AF100 or GH2
