Seems like 2nd hand kit lenses are really cheap, there is one guy selling the 14-42 + 40-150 together for $350. I am considering getting a EM10, but don't know whether to just a body, or get the kit set. I will need the long zoom, but I also hope to get some primes for wide angle and 50mm.

Which 14-42 are you referring to?
If it is not 14-42 PZ pancake (EM10 kit lens), then $350 is expensive. :)
 

If size is important, get the kit zoom 12-42 ez then buy the 40-150 separately. I got mine from BnS for 100+.

If size is not important, I think the em5 plus 12-50 is better for weather sealing and macro capability. Plus I heard there is/was a promo where the 40-150 is bundled for free.
