That 35-100 lens looks good, but note that in 35mm still terms, it's the =
equivalent of a 70-200mm lens. A classic zoom, but long. A great second =
or third lens perhaps?

The Panasonic 12-35mm/f2.8 is rather nice and a very useful all-round =
still and video lens (I've used one and will soon buy one). The Nokton =
25mm/f0.95 is lovely, too.

I have a GH2. It's good for what it is. The GH3 has some noticeable =
improvements, but fewer net gains for video.
