Looks good, Moose.

Thanks! Maybe the best first shot with a lens I've managed. Usually, it's just 
a throwaway shot in my haste to try it out.

 From what can be seen the bokeh looks quite nice and the highest mag at the 
long end a real plus.

That first one is a single shot. Most of the rest of the flowers are stacks. PS always uses the most in focus slice for background when it blends. I think I reversed that for background for all of these but one, where I liked the OoF look of an intermediate slice best.

I wonder how the macro shots compare at the long end of the 12-100 with the CU 
diopter at same mag as the new PL 12-60?

Once I have a C-U diopter on the lens, I would go for greater mag. So I'm only mildly curious about that specific comparison.

One other thing, the sync IS was crazy good on the E-MI MkII  and  Oly 12-100.  
It does not seem very likely the IS in the lens could be as good, but perhaps 
good enough.

Oh, I don't expect to use the lens IS unless I use it for some reason on a GM5. IBIS on the E-M5 II is awfully good. I really have more trouble in my typical use with subject movement than insufficient IBIS. Better is nice, but has to balance against other factors.

I do have trouble seeing His Mooseness giving up the long end  of the 12-100  
with his tele eye, despite the nicer size of the PL.

Neither is a lens I would really be happy with stand-alone. If that were the intended use, I wouldn't even be trying the 12-60. This is all about the two body/lens working technique. I was not much troubled by the gap from 50 to 75 mm with my old lens set-up. It may be that a 60 to 100 mm coverage gap will be similar.
Await further impressions.

Me too!
