Om system m zuiko 40 150mm f 4 pro vs panasonic lumix g x 35 100mm f 2 8 ii?

Both lenses are zooms for Micro Four Thirds, and both fit the same long list of OM System and Panasonic bodies, so the choice comes down to what you shoot.

The OM System M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4 PRO reaches further. It frames like an 80-300mm on full frame, which suits wildlife, sport, and anything you can't walk up to. It isn't stabilised, though, and f/4 gives less background blur.

The Panasonic Lumix G X 35-100mm f/2.8 II is the one I'd pick for portraits and low light. It's brighter, stabilised, and frames like a 70-200mm. Its reach is shorter.

If you're not sure how crop factors work, the sensor sizes page explains the Micro Four Thirds numbers.
