Pretty exciting news about the new Panasonic GH5 being released, which looks like an awesome upgrade to the GH4. But exciting news also for LS300 owners is the release of this new lens. It looks almost ideal. I wish the telephoto end was greater than 60mm, but still 12-60 is still a nice range. I suspect that they didn't want to go longer so as to not cut into sales of the 35-100 lens. It is certainly an improvement over the 12-35mm Panasonic lens that I am using now. Can't wait to check one out. The only negative is the price,
