Review on 📹 Panasonic 14-140mm f/4.0-5.8 OIS Video Optimized Micro Four Thirds Lens: Perfect for Panasonic DSLR Cameras by Jason Melvin

True, Panasonic has a newer model that is slightly faster, has better optical image stabilization and a powerful zoom, but having just returned from a trip to Costa Rica, While I was constantly fiddling with switching lenses, I figured that a longer range zoom would reduce that hassle. As I was in the process of upgrading my camera, I was on a budget and it was a cheap lens purchase. Image stabilization wasn't that important as my new Olympus has excellent body stabilization and the price was irresistibly lower than alternatives. F5.8 vs F5.6 doesn't matter but I think I will miss the ability to control the zoom remotely. The lens turned out to be surprisingly good, reaching the quality of the kit lenses without the need for a swap. Now my wife will have my slightly older M43 body with kit lenses (she will probably never switch from 14-42) and I will just switch lenses to use one of my primes. Note that it has the same FOV as a 28-280 on a 35mm body and with the M43 resolution I can easily crop to get another 100mm equivalent if I'm not larger than 8x10 print. If only I could afford a new Olympus 7-14 Pro lens. and with M43 resolution I can easily crop to get another equivalent of 100mm if I'm not printing more than 8x10.
