Stephen:Looks as though most of the P35-100/2.8 jitter in video is fixed with the GX80 dual-IS. This video is comparing the P35-100/2.8 and P12-35/2.8 lenses with various camera stabilisations on the Panasonic  G7, GX80, LX100 and Olympus OMD E-M5II.  All was handheld, and I was using both hands with elbows braced against my body and eye to the EVF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAshlUXNxJk
