Yes, Dual IS is that good. :-) The best in the industry. I was amazed by the low shutter speeds that you can use.

The 12-40mm is, of course, a very good lens but it is a little too short in my book.

What's your opinion on the Pana/Leica 12-60 vs the Oly 12-40 optically?

Although I still a couple of MFT bodies (Pany GM5 et Oly E-M10 II), I mainly shoot Fuji these days. However I'm not happy with any of their standard zooms:

• 18-55 f2.8-4: only starts at 18 and horrible bokeh
  
• 16-50 f3.5-5.6: too short range and too slow
  
• 15-45: interesting 15mm, but I hate power zooms and too short
  
• 16-55 f2.8: huge
  

I'm very interested in the Fuji 16-80 f4 but early reports seem to indicate it's not that hot optically, especially at 16mm...

Hence, the Pany/Leica 12-60 f2.8-4 seems like a good compromise between IQ, size and "fastness". Of course the Oly 12-100 f4 would be great, but it's HUGE.

What do you then think of the Pany/Leica 12-60?
