PZs?

12-35 f/2.8 is an excellent lens for every aspect. 12-32 f/3.5-5.6 is tiny and cost friendly. You might go further to Panny's 7-14 f/4 which is cheaper than Oly's 7-14 f/2.8.

But if video would be your prime concern, I would also suggest to have a look at the pair of PZ lenses, i.e., 14-42 and 45-175. These 2 lenses are optimized for video work (unfortunately in terms of still IQ 14-42 is not among the best of Panny's standard kit zoom lenses, but 45-175 is good for its class).

Because of the power zoom, the zoom action would be steady, smooth and nearly completely silence.
