Thanks to all who chimed in re: Pan to 12-35 f2.8.

Extra weight and size is not an issue over my 14-45.

As long as I can use the lens on Oly MFT (maybe a camera in the future?) without any IBIS issues I'm ok.

Ready to go for it.

Hello,

I was ready to hit the 'buy" button, until I found this thread re: 12-35 and flaw shooting video.

this thread re: flaw with flickering videos when zooming and video.

Now I am concerned, because I would sometimes use the lens to shoot short memory video clips, as well as still photos, with GX7.

Any help understanding the flaw in the 12-35? Does video shot actually show flicker?

Thank you.

Lena
