Have you considered the Leica V-Lux T.114? Look at the dedicated thread for some fine photography in the region of 400mm to 600mm. A newer version has recently been launched; but the earlier model is better value with very similar specs.

 I would like a longer zoom for the CL, with that in mind I could resist no longer and decided to try the Panasonic 70-200.  Haven't really done too much with it just yet but my initial thoughts are while not perfect, it's a keeper for now, until L Alliance offers something longer.  I had sort of hoped I might see it as a replacement for the 55-135 but that's a no, that still has a place in my bag for travelling light, it does replace for me a Canon 70-300L I have been using with adaptor, and R mount 180.  

Cons so far - it's not long enough for safari, wildlife type stuff (of course I knew that before I bought it), it really eats your battery if IS is set to on (CL gives you a warning about this when you mount the lens), make sure you have some extra's with you, background bokeh can be a bit busy unless you are careful.   My pro's would be, lens reports correctly in exif, good to have image stabilisation, handholding down to 1/4 easily achievable, and the weight is very manageable, lens seems sharp with nice contrast and colour pop.  

This blue tit - not too bad through the window on a grey wet day.  F/4 ISO 400 1/200

Hope to get out and about with the lens and find some more interesting stuff to share.
