I switched back to the 35-100 from the 14-140

Why'd you switch back? The 35-100/2.8 is a slightly sharper lens and not a burden, but the IQ difference is minimal, and the convenience of not having to constantly swap the 12-35 and 35-100 won me over.

I've been considering the same thing, but with the 12-40mm and GX8. The only twist is that my girlfriend uses the 14-140mm, so I can't take that away from her! I grab her GX7 for a few shots. Although, she shoots in iAuto and me in M mode. I'd also be loath to give up the 12mm end!

Jeff, you've got a 7-14. Makes a perfect complement to the 14-140.

Yes, she likes the 7-14mm, too. The 7-14mm was the first M4/3 lens I bought after the GH2's 14-140mm I kit lens.

As for your GF's GX7 and modes, you could program one of the custom modes with your preferred settings. Borrow, turn to C-3, shoot, turn to iAuto, hand back.

Thanks. Of course! I keep M mode setup to my liking and just switchback to iAuto for her. She somehow switches it into aperture bracketing mode all the time.
