> High end lenses? (Serious question)

12-35/2.8 X-Lens (equivalent to 24-70mm).
35-100/2.8 X-Lens (equivalent to 70-200mm).
25/1.4 Lens. (equivalent to 50mm).

The new X-lenses are weather sealed.  Hmm... Odd that the current
flagship camera from Panasonic isn't, eh?

They ain't building these things just to put on Olympus bodies, you know.

:)

If I dove back into wedding photography in a big way and wanted a
full-fledged, but compact and lightweight kit, I could see myself with
two bodies--one with the 12-35 and the other with the 35-100.

You know, it really is a shame that Sony/Minolta didn't continue the
A-x line. That GT lens (28-200 equivalent) remains as one of the best
lenses ever made in the digital era. I've shot a few weddings with the
A1 and always felt that I took a huge step backwards when I went
Four-Thirds in this regard. Even my old Olympus IS-3 with the 35-180
zoom was pretty amazing for event work. (except for the aperture
limitations which forced flash usage).
