Well yes but the 12-100 is just too big to be a handy lens that I carry around
Lots of people use it for exactly that, my daughter for instance on an E-m5 ii

My take on introducing this lens is that want to make a weather sealed lens that is cheaper and lighter for the em5mk3 that as a package, they can pull down the price point for the system. Lighter for the vloggers, and cheaper as an intro lens, as the weathersealing has to match the body.
I came across this recently on the hyperinterwebbynet and thought it might be helpful to some people here :

It is about Panasonic > < Olympus lenses compatibility.
Number 3 is incorrect, my GX9 has a program lens fn button section in the menu with a few options, works with the Olympus 12-40 Pro
.... Hmm, they should have got that right. The Panasonic GX9 has been out since 2018 and the linked article was written in September this year 2019.
I wonder if your GX9 had a firmware update giving the L-Fn button mapping options. Anyway, that's a bit academic now.
The Olympus mappable L-Fn button is very valuable and has a lot of programmable options.

I have no issues with critique..... That's very nice and looks well suited to black&white. Personally I am very fussy about motion blur on flowing water but I think you have got the right balance very well and it's not too 'soft and misty'. In fact I think the water motion blur is perfect! There is much to enjoy in its detail.
Tough doo-da if you weren't expecting a critique!

I am also fussy about water and I am practiced at it.
Do you mean to try 0.3s handheld?.... Clearly I can learn from the master - Shutter speed of 0.3s is now for me to try.

.... That might be pushing too far the M1X claim to stellar image stabilisation and therefore very slow handheld possibilities. But hang on, am I confused by the maths? I recently handheld a Heron shot at 1/30s. Does "0.3" (as stated on Flickr) = 3 seconds? or 1/3s?
If there isn't a convenient fence or rock to place my camera on (I usually carry a small beanbag which a friend made me) I often have a very easily carried Gitzo Traveller tripod with compact Flexline head if I think the day's mission might merit it.
I don't often shoot a landscape but will do one if a wildlife walkabout presents one to inspire me. When visiting Scotland it's very difficult not to be inspired... very frequently!
The reason I asked is I assume you know that shutter speed needed to get a specific look with water shots will depend on the speed of flow/movement of said water obviously....

As for claims of great IBIS myself and other members on here have managed handheld shots at 1s and even 2s on the EM1-II and EM5-II at shorter focal lengths such as 12mm
Have you tried the live ND on the EM1x, I'd be very interested to see what that looks like?

Woah, Landscape NinjaI often use two cameras when shooting landscapes and I have been know shoot one camera one handed handheld at 1/5 second while use the cable release on the camera
You called?
5s handheld
.... Damn!!! I'm not very fond of domestic cats!

To get anything resembling a photo handholding at 15 seconds is crazyI've also handheld up to 15seconds with the E-M10ii when using my homemade pinhole "lens" it works, but then sharpness isn't really the aim for those.
