My standard lens too. Bought it when it first came out along with the 35-100 f2.8 and use them exclusively on my Em1. Wanted faster better glass than was avaiable so took the leap since Olympus had nothing to offer then. Would have bought the Olympus lenses if they were available then I might add, I am a long time Oly user and love their glass. With that said I just don't see a need for me to swap the Pannys for Oly's right now. If I stay with u4/3 longer term I may down the road I may add some of the Oly pro lenses.

I am on that FF fence, waiting patiently for the next gen gh and Em flagship cameras.....waiting patiently......

Bill, thank you for the comment

Yes, the 12-40 wasn't available yet in mid 2014 if I recall correctly, and this is the only option for such fast zoom lens for MFT.

I'm also curious on what the next Pan GH and Oly E-M will be. Full frame is not yet an option for me unfortunately(or should I say "fortunately"? hehe ). At least with the current size and weight of the 2.8 zoom lenses on either DSLR or mirrorless, it's a no no for me.
