Nitpicking perhaps but min. aperture and max. aperture headers should be switched, mostly min. apertures are considerd to be eg. 1:16 or 1:22

Nicely done for both Zooms and Primes a big hat off to you. Though I notice prices will need to be updated, for example, Oly f1.2 Pros as well as 300mm F4 Pro.And here are some primes:

Thanks for picking that up! Doh... looks like I mistakenly used some earlier promotional prices for those.
I've updated those prices in the Google doc (please ignore my notes at the end):

Hi Nick,
Very nice overview!
A very important information for me would be whether the lens does internal focusing/zooming (=length of the lens does not change upon focusing/zooming) or whether it is external (=length does change)...

FYI:
PL 12-35 f2.8 changes length
PL 35-100 f2.8 zooms internally - length stays the same
PL 100-400 f4 changes length
PL 12-35 f2.8 changes length
PL 35-100 f2.8 zooms internally - length stays the same
PL 100-400 f4 changes length
This is extremely useful Nick.
You realize of course the potential pitfalls inherent in compiling and publishing these kind of data?
If not, you should consider the labor involved in constructing, e.g., these Nikon/Nikkor tables, maintained by an extraordinary gentleman in New Zealand named Roland Vink. I have looked up information on Roland's site thousands of times, donated a few bucks towards his efforts, and sent him corrections and/or new data hundreds of times over the last 30 years.
By far and away, the most comprehensive Nikkor relational database in the world.
Imagine how often Roland gets any peace considering that photographers on the whole planet are perpetually emailing him just as I have done, every day of the year... Mind-boggling, huh?
I have bookmarked dozens of u43 data sites on the web, and I now have added this DPR thread's URL. When I find new information in future, I'll expect you to drop everything and work to incorporate my suggested revisions ASAP. (You'll be needing to setup your own web server and database software of course.
)
Thanks again,
Marc

First two didn't fit in the screenshot, and I added the 200mm to the spreadsheet:
