Why no Olympus 12-40 2.8?

Shooting with a panasonic body the 12-35mm f2.8 would be a better option because of the OIS. The 12-35 and 12-40 are very similar so there is no point in adding it.

Cheaper, with greater range and pseudo macro abilities. Even without IOS, that kind of flexibility when you're limited to one lens should matter.

I disagree the OIS on the GH4 body allows photos to be taken in much lower light conditions (4 stops over non-stabilized) & allows for relatively stable handheld video.  The extra 5mm is insignificant....what just take a step or so forward.  And pseudo marco the lumix lens has that too, close focus of 25mm w/ magnification of 0.34x.
