More thoughtfully adjudicated decisions based upon impeccable logic than shenanigans, 
IMO.  It is impressive/unsettling  how quickly the "optimal kit" can evolve 
these days. I think I am smitten with the  Panny 42.5 for the GM-5 too.  The bokeh and 
starbursts on the Oly are better but the other advantages of the Panny  Including 
IS/macro outweigh these features. I don't know if the clearly superior starburst feature 
is worth keeping the Oly for or not.

I guess I can see that in some optical perfect theory land the Oly starburst might be considered superior. If I had shot those test shots, I would find the Panny version much more attractive. I don't like the Panny purple halo at all. I've fixed that sort of thing before, and it's not that much fun, so I hope I don't run into it. :-)

I suspect the later and that the Oly will be relinquished  to a foster home at 
KEH.   I thought you would not be able to resist the performance and reach of 
the 12-100 despite the size.

Well, I have yet to haul it around for hours on the trail. There is another player about to be officially announced, a PLeica 12-60/2.8-4. The current, relatively recent, Panny 12-60 is a decent, but uninspiring lens, far inferior IQ to the 12-100. The new PLeica will be about 60% the weight of the 12-100 about the same size and a little lighter than the Oly 12-40/2.8.

My OM kit is a comforting,  very enjoyable to use, well performing complement 
to my other gear at least.

Keep having fun with it; you have to do that for both of us. ;-)  I only fondle 
mine.
