There's a rumoured 12-45mm f4 lens. Could make for a good lightweight walk around alternative to the 12-40mm f2.8 and 12-100mm f4. If there is one and it's weather sealed it could certainly have my interest.
.... Look out for the 'PRO' in the lens title for maximum weather sealing.
m4/3 12-40mm and 12-45mm are both equivalents to the Canon (and Nikon?) best selling 24-70mm full-frame lenses and so a well established market for such walkabout practicality.
Re the m4/3 12-100mm F/4 you mention (Olympus or PL?), as an equivalent to being a 24-200mm and therefore a very wide zoom range, does it suffer from harsh corner vignetting like the new Canon RF 24-240mm does (and which I returned because of it)? Such vignetting is said to be inevitable in lenses with wide-angle > telephoto zoom due to necessary internal optics and regardless of brand. It only happens in RAW files, not JPEG, and can be solved in RAW conversion software but that's not satisfactory as far as I am concerned.
