Good thread, thanks OP and Contributers!

This has been very informative to read, as an owner of the 40-150 Pro who has been recently considering a 35-100 as a complimentary lens.  I say this because I don't generally carry the 40-150 on long hikes.  My current solution is to just bring the cheap F4-5.6 40-150 so I have a tele in the bag, but I was thinking I may appreciate the Panny F2.8 tele zoom a little more.

I'm sure the 35-100 provides better sharpness and contrast across the overlapping ranges than the small 40-150, but I'm curious if users of the Panny lens feel they could crop out to 150 or so without a terrible penalty.
