Looks good. I have two "opinions" or comments.
The first is the Canon FD 50mm lens. I have this lens and really love mine, but it's not something that plays well with Panasonic m43 lenses image wise. It may prove difficult to match its image with the other lenses in a video context, especially the 20mm which is almost hyper sharp. I don't know your workflow/intentions, but be aware of that issue. If you are using it by itself for portraits, then fine.
Again, I don't know what you are shooting, but I notice the absence of a couple of lavaliere microphones (could be wired) that would be useful for interviews and would work with the Zoom. Also you might want to consider a boom for floating the Zoom above talent for closer audio recording.
Otherwise seems like a nice package. All the best with your purchase.
Thank you. I indeed would use the Canon more for photos and not matching video segments between lenses. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
I failed to mention that I have a couple more soft boxes, large reflector and stand, white/gray balance card, some varied additional lighting and two Countryman wired lapel mics. (Good catch on my list, stoneinapond). I have used them with a HMC40 and love them but look forward to the Zoom providing a quality boost.
My applications are somewhat varied but specific. Facility and equipment videos and stills. Talking head green screen work and various product stills.
