If the grip is too small for you, and/or you might be using it on a tripod, HIGHLY recommend getting on a "grip L bracket olympus em10 II" (search for that on the famous auction site). It adds a nice grip for your fingers so you can easily hold it one handed, and an arca-swiss compatible L bracket for tripod use, and the side bracket part even comes off to make it smaller when you don't need it. Only about $23,but well with it IMO.
For lenses, I've had both the 14-42 R (included with this deal) and the 14-42 EZ (which is a power zoom, and collapses down smaller). Testing both, the R is a better lens (for my copies at least).
Other lenses I recommend: (ask if you have questions on any, search for reviews):
- Olympus 40-150 f/4-5.6 - great telephoto zoom for the price, super lightweight
- Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 - nice and small, perfect go anywhere lens. Only downside is that its kinda slow to focus, but not a big deal. Get a 46-37mm step down ring to use as a "lens hood" to give the front element some protection and keep it super slim profile. With the grip L Bracket mentioned about, this barely sticks out past the grip part.
- Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 or Olympus 25mm f/1.8 - standard lens, I got the Panasonic when it first came out because there was a stupid cheap deal on it, but both are good lenses, about twice as long physically as the 20mm. The Olympus is probably a bit better lens.
- Olympus 45mm f/1.8 - great portrait lens, good bokeh, just a smidge longer than the 25mm in dimensions.
- Olympus 75mm f/1.8 - excellent lens, super sharp and great bokeh. Maybe a bit bigger than your standard APS-C kit lens.
- Olympus 12mm f/2 - great wide angle lens, love the square hood.
- Olympus 9mm Fisheye Bodycap - Can only partially be considered a "lens", as it just has a lever to close the cover and adjust focus, but cheap and tons of fun. Less than half the length of the 20mm, so really not much bigger than the body cap. Not a full fisheye, so more useful than you'd think.
Here's a comparison of the camera with most of these lenses mounted to you can get a sense of scale: https://j.mp/2UUjXvU
Oh and if you need a great bag, a Peak Design 5L Sling (I think their 40% off sale is over) can fit this camera and 3-4 additional lenses easily.

( I know this model is MUCH better)
Mark II has been replaced by Mark III which in many ways has been dummy-fied.
Available lenses play a big role too. Huge selection for MFT, while Sony focuses on its larger FF (E) mount.

It's an older camera, but still a ridiculously good deal.
