I'm seriously looking for a HQ lens for my GH3 as well. I've basically settled on the Pan 12-35 and it would complete the water resistance factor for my site photos. The Olympus 12-40 would also work, but I've been told that the water resistance feature only works with lens and camera from the same manufacturer. Is this true?

I don't believe that is true. The "water resistance" is in the gaskets of the lens (and for zooms, that includes the gaskets for barrel extensions), and those gaskets should work identically on any standard m43 mount.
