Nope. I don't like that to get the best from the GX8 I am confined to the Panasonic lenses and not even all of them. Then again I am already pretty well served with four excellent bodies to choose from.

I'm in agreement here.....I get the sense that this new blended IOS/IBIS is meant to leverage the Panasonic lenses to the exclusion of the Olympus M43 offerings, just a hunch, hope I'm wrong.

I've now decided to move to exclusively Olympus bodies for my kit but am keeping my Panny lenses (until Panasonic brings out only lenses that play nice with their bodies......CaNikon, anyone?)
