The video edge on the Panny seems interesting, allowing me to turn IBIS off and switch to OIS.

Thanks again... I tend to lean towards the Panasonic, though it's more expensive.

I have that Panasonic lens with gx7 and in my opinion it is a good choice. But take into account that any lens with manual zoom is not very good for shooting video as you will not be able to change zoom smoothly. Always some jerks will be inevitable. Motorised zoom make some noise though.

Best lens for video I saw was Sony 3x zoom lens (do not remember the model name) sold as a kit with A6000. It has manual zoom supported with a motor, very quiet and smooth in action.
