The Spanish magazine Quesabesde (google translation here) tested the Panasonic LX100. The LX100 convinces “in terms of performance, design, management and philosophy”. But Quesabesde also feels the JPG quality is the weak point of the package because RAW images are so much better. You can download the original RAW files on their site!

ThePhoBlographer tested the Olympus 40-150mm lens and wirtes:

Among any of the Olympus zoom lens offerings that we’ve tested, the 40-150mm f2.8 PRO is the one that I loved the absolute most and almost didn’t want to send back. It’s lightweight, fairly small for what it is, fast to focus, offers crisp image quality, is weather sealed, and won’t fail you when working. For the wedding, sports, portrait, or journalism photographer that needs to work with zooms, you should know that Olympus now has the best zoom lens lineup of any manufacturer in the mirrorless camera world.
