I'm slightly wondering whether this thing is worth it.
Don't understand me wrong here - I surely welcome a new high-performance option.
However, we are talking, effectively, about a "24-70mm f/5.6" lens here.
The depth-of-field argument is not that hot here in my opinion.
So technically an X 14-42 + Oly 45/1.8 could make more sense actually.
(I am not yet sure about the qualities of the X 14-42 though)

From the review of dpreview on the lumix GX1, the X 14-42 is quite soft/blur at long end.
