Re: Panasonic 14-140ii or Olympus 14-150ii on GX8? (or other options?)

You have a 20 MP, weather sealed (that means splash proof, not submersible) body and that 20 MP will give you quite a lot of crop area if needed.  You also have the digital 2X should you want to go that route.  If you want 'water sealed' in a lens, you can use the 35-100 (FF = 70 - 200) and either crop or 2X your way to the composition you require.  Taking a splash proof camera without a splash proof lens probably makes no sense.  Of course, taking a more expensive camera setup into a rubber boat is asking for trouble.
