To me, it is first lens I would purchase for m4/3.

Enjoy your trip.

I agree. Next lens I am getting, and I have the other Pro zooms. The quality and versatility of this lens (friend has one) is ideal for m43.

When the 12-100mm is on the what lens list it is my choice unless you have a very pressing need for a faster aperture For all daylight and most lower light static subjects { where you can take full advantage of IBIS} it covers an awful lot of bases and at very good quality. If you are shooting low light action and the extra stop would be a disadvantage is about the only area I would avoid this lens. Assuming the price and size don't put you off

You do make me thing. The most interesting is that you did 2/3 with you 12-40 and 1/3 with the 7-14. Hmm. But dust... definitely making me think here. Can you by chance throw some tomb examples with settings in here? I would love to see it.

Now you added two lenses to my quandary lol.

I’m  away working at the moment but will post a couple of examples for you early next week when I get home.
