As you have a Panasonic camera body you are probably best sticking with a Panasonic lens as Panasonic offer dual IS with most of their lenses and this is of most value at longer FLs. If you did wish to compare with an Olympus lens the obvious one would be the 14-150 f4-5.6 version 2 which has comparable range and is weather sealed. It is a good lens but the lack of in lens OIS would rule it out unless you were using a Panasonic camera with the most recent 5 axis image stbilisation such as the GX80/85.

Thanks Archie, makes a lot of sense. The weather sealed option really appeals actually and as I've been okay with the IBIS of the GX8 so far at the 150mm end, perhaps that would be a great option I didn't even know existed. Great tip!
