I did not get on very well with the GX8 100 400 combo due to shutter shock when they were combined but I use the 100-400 with the G85 and have not had any problem. If I had the money and the reviews were good I would be tempted to wait gor the G9

Another vote for the G85 as an excellent companion for the 100-400mm PL.

Something to consider is the G85 only outputs 10-bit images with the e-shutter active. GX8 and GH5 produce 12-bit files with the e-shutter.

The GX8 and 100-400mm make a great pair!
