This does not surprise me! I have the 12-40 and it is superb, the 12-100 by all accounts is stellar
@jerry12953 re: L-plate post question....unless any post slipped my attention, no one has 'replied'. I had previously looked into this and make was perfect as all restricted the usage of the rear screen manipulation. The 3leggedthing model appears to be one of the best i.e. the screen can at least be laid flat when swung out.......but that still means useless for low down or higher up "arms length" situations are not covered! C'est la vie.
