I'm considering the 2 following options:

1) Replacing my Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 Pro with the Panasonic 35-100 f/2.8 mk2 mostly because of size and weight (for travel).
2) Replacing my Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 Pro + my Olympus 12-40 Pro with the Olympus 12-100 f4 for similar reasons i.e. total weight and size. What are your thoughts and suggestions?
I should mention that I have the PL 100-400 for telephoto purposes.

I think I would keep the Oly 12-40 f2.8, and get the Panasonic 35-100 f2.8. They are both excellent (well I've never had the 12-40 but the press here is good) and both a stop faster than the 12-100 which could come in handy. Then you are good from 12 to 400mm and would be hard pressed to go lighter for all that range.

Hum! Just when I think I should get the 12-100, you make me rethink the whole thing with your good points. I am like a yo-yo! Thanks for your 2 cents. Much appreciated.
