I bought a 12-35mm f2.8 and G7 to use as a package and I think that it's a very good lens and one advantage is that I can get a very similar look from the combination that I'd get from a ff camera and lens.

With ff I'd probably be mostly shooting between f4 and f11 (at the most) and with the MFT combination I can shoot at f2.8 to f5 (or smaller aperture if I wish) and when using the f2.8 to f5 type range I get the sort of ff look that a f3.5 to 5.6 zoom just can't match.

That is very true. When i got D700 and 24-70 like 5 years ago as my first FX setup i kept stopping down to at least F4 or 5.6 especially at 70mm just to get SOME background

12-35 is coming though and I can't wait to test it out and compare to the 14-140II.

Thanks
