This is a great lens. The image is stunning. It's sharp and crisp with great detail. I use with a Panasonic GH4. The zoom ring could be a tad smoother ( I use it with a follow focus and camera rig) however, far from a deal breaker. High quality lens that I got for a nice price. The 14-140 mm focal range, alleviates the need for anything but specialty lenses.

The lens I purchased was not the latest but the original lens developed by Panasonic. The construction is excellent though the lens weighs almost two pounds. Also in the original design, the lens image is noticeably soft. So please be sure to verify whether you are getting the original design or the newer design which has sharper performance, faster focusing, and weighs significantly less (one half the original) although the newer lens polycarbonate in its material design. One other disadvantage I experienced was that the older design seemed to require more battery power for its autofocusing. Hope this helps. And of course you may have a different experience with the older lens versus the newer design.

This is a very versatile lens with its 10X zoom. It’s quite sharp at all focal lengths and the Mega OIS is helpful. It’s also small and light. Not having a large, constant aperture it’s not a great low-light lens, but it’s still a great lens for travel where most of your shooting will probably be in good light anyway. Pair it with the 20mm f1.7 and/or 14mm f2.5 and you’ve got all your bases covered without spending a fortune. I don’t think there are many super zooms for larger formats that are as good.

An excellent, all around zoom. If low light focusing is an issue, switch to manual focus and turn "peaking" as a focusing assist, to "on." Notice the sharpness on the long exposure picture. Exposure was for 6 seconds, f 5.6, 400 iso, zoom was 46mm.

I have a Lumix 12-60mm it's a wonderfully sharp lens. So, I thought the 14-140mm would be in the same class picturewise and size wise. It is. The main reason I purchased the 14-140mm was after a trip to Yellowstone. I found myself constantly switching from my 12-60mm to my 40-150mm going from a landscape shot to a wildlife shot. It got pretty annoying. In fact, after one switch I noticed a "small darkish donut" image on the lower left of my photos (after I took some 40 shots of course).. I knew right away it was dust on the sensor from all the switching of lenses. It was then and there I purchased the 14-140mm. So now I have the 14-140mm and just keep it on my Lumix G-85 and I love it. You lose a little at the wide and tight ends, but the convenience of keeping one lens on the camera is worth it.Read full review
