(Edit: I see that you bought the Lumix. Good move, although either is excellent)

I shot events for years (no longer, alas). An event photographer does not need a lens longer than a 70-200mm f/2.8 pro-level zoom. I speak from experience. Yes there are events, and then there are "Events." But I never needed anything longer than my EOS 70-200mm f/2.8 L.

Save some money and your back and get the Lumix. This is coming from a dedicated M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO owner! I will eventually add the Lumix to my kit, as I see the two lenses complementing each other.
