I sold the Pan 12-60 F3.5-5.6

With some hasitation.

I got it as kit by my G80.

And because it is close to my l14-140mm f3.5-5.6 i needed a  other WA isch lens. (14mm isn't enough)

The 7-14mm and 8-18mm where too expensive.

Longstory short ended up with the PL12-60mm f2.8-4.0 🥴😬😋

The Lumix is around equal in sharpnes a,doh mine PL is over a longer focal range equal sharp. Contrastrendition is better too.  looks better for me in the same conditions.

Maybe i was lucky with my samples , or less keen on looking for failspots, but on a GX the PL is less usefull then on my G80. body lens balance.

I sold it (lumix) and never heard the guy back so he must be happy. 😃
