I picked up the 12-35 myself from Adorama on the same special a few months ago, Used the $100 to buy a nice B+W low profile UV filter for it and a few other odds and ends I'd been meaning to get. Or, you could use it to buy the Oly 40-150mm f4-5.6 when it goes on sale....save yourself some money instead of getting the 14-140mm. (I've had the last generation of 14-140mm, and was always surprised at how good it was for a superzoom, but neither it nor the current gen one are in the same league as the 12-35mm, which I why I suggest the 12-35mm and the Oly 40-150mm f4-5.6 instead)

BTW, one of my most favorite photos ever was taken with the 40-150mm....

they have the 40-150 fir $150 used - oh that is the pan not the Oly

that might be the way to go

cheers

Pany 45-150 would support Dual IS, whereas Oly 40-150 could only rely on GX85's IBIS (max 2 stops of stabilization for me) vs 4~5 stops from Dual IS. Would that extra stabilization be required by you for 150 (eq to 300mm FF), would totally up to you.
