Thanks, all, for the feedback and suggestions.

I decided to order Panasonic 35-100/f4-5.6 (brand new in ebay for 200€) and I will probably change my Olympus 12-50 to 12-40/2.8.

Nice little lens.  For the lengths of hiking trips I do, I would opt to carry a longer lens.  The chance of wildlife photography is one reason I backpack.

I borrowed a copy of the 35-100/F4-5.6 last month.  I am thinking of getting one as a small telephoto I'll carry around when I don't expect to use it.  Only had it for 4 days, but found it very useful.

Good ratio of reach to size or weight.
