GH3 12-35 kit? Price? Preorder?

[traviswears]

I've asked about this deep in a few threads and haven't gotten a solid response yet. Anyone have the skinny on if this is a for sure pairing (seems pretty obvious but you never know), how much it will be and when it will be available for preorder?

After the recent $200 drop on the 12-35, I'm wondering if the kit won't be a better bargain than anticipated. How much savings do you usually see on a lens like this when it's packaged in a kit with the camera?

My understanding is that the lens in the kit will run $899. So about $2200 for the kit.

....how much it will be and when it will be available for preorder?"

Can't help you there.

What about pre-ordng the body in order to get you in the que, then modifying the order when the kit becomes available.
Or would that put you at the "back of the line" again.
