Yes, this is expensive. Yes, it is weighty compared to other M43 lenses.
But I think it is a viable alternative to much larger and heavier zooms from other systems. I have been shooting with this on a G9 alongside a Nikon D500 with a Nikon 200-500 for a few weeks now.
For me, and the subject matter I shoot, this lens with the G9 is at least as good as the Nikon combo. That coupled with the fact that the Panasonic combo weighs about half as much, was enough to get me to switch to Micro Four Thirds.
(White birds are with a G85, Blackbird is G9)
