Yes, that's my go to lens. I like it a lot. Reviews I've read basically say if you don't need the speed of it's faster sibling, get this lens as it's produces similar results.

At a third of the price on the used market too ....... given that the PL is really an F4 lens for most of its reach , not worth the price difference, I`d forgo the 20mm and get the Oly 12-40 which is F2.8 and sharp throughout at that aperture (given a good copy of course) ......

the Oly 12-100 I`ve yet to try, I`m sure its optically superb for its range and speed but can imagine it`d be quite a lump on the GX8 , I`d just use my RX10-III anyway as I only use superzooms in nice weather  ..
