I like the look of the 20-200, have you tried the 25-200?

No, I had it's predecessor i.e. tamron 28-200mm. The 28-200mm maintained it's aperture rather well, it was f4 till 85mm and f4.5 till 110mm

The new 25-200mm stops down very quickly so loses a lot of it's benefit over 20-200mm
 
Another review of the Viltrox 26mm f2.8.

Review: Viltrox AF 26mm 2.8 Evo FE - phillipreeve.net

Many pancake lenses for the E-mount come with severe compromises, is this Viltrox AF 26mm 2.8 Evo the first one that actually
phillipreeve.net phillipreeve.net

Some of those pictures in the review part of the page look pretty bad but I suppose it's only in specific instances.

I was briefly interested but I have the Sony 24mm f2.8 G so the only benefit would be smaller size but probably not so much to matter and more flare and probably lower image quality. For anyone who doesn't have a small lens already this might be worth a try.

Nice excuse to post a picture from the last time I took the 24mm G out.

35-100/105/135 isn't really that great as a walkabout lens IMO unless going somewhere that doesn't need a wideangle. I've had a 35-105 previously, and while OK in the right circumstances, it lacks flexibility.

I am tempted by the Sigma 20-200 after looking at some reviews, gives me wide angle and decent zoom plus I can go into S35 if I need more reach.
 
There seem to be a lot of lenes that I didn't know existed. This is another...

Googling tells me it's under £700 grey.

I've hung on to MFT but I hardly use it these days, the main uses being for the 45-150 and 100-400mm lenses which I hardly use. Something like this could maybe replace my MFT kit, half the reach but with better IQ and I could crop.

Anyone know anything about this lens?

I have one and like it. But I'm easily pleased! ;)

Thanks.

As you might know I like compact kit but the Panasonic GX80 and 100-400mm isn't exactly small. I don't and wont use a long lens much but I want one for the few times a year I want one and the IQ I get out of the Panasonic kit especially the 100-400mm is disappointing me.

Sony with 50-400mm v Panasonic with 100-400mm.
