Simple review: I have been a photographer for 45+ years. I have shot with Leica, Canon, Nikon, and more. This is, without doubt, one of the finest lenses I have experienced. Sharp, sharp, sharp all the way to the corners, at any focal length. Well built and compact. Hey gang, that dont come much better than this.
It you are investing into the Micro Four thirds System (Especially if you are new), this 14-140mm lens is one of the first of two lenses I recommend anyone to purchased. It is very well made. It has an equivalent range of 28-280mm in FF coverage. Which provides a wide range of possibilities. It is Sharp, and the Optical Image Stabilization contributes to that also. The Image Quality is very good too. I started out with the fastest glass I could, so I went with a set of F 0.95 Voigtlander lenses, which are phenomenal. My first Zoom lens was the M.Zuiko 12-40 F 2.0. However, I should have started with this lens instead, along with the Panasonic 25mm F1.7. I originally thought that the F 3.5 - 5.6 was going to be too slow and dark so I went with the expensive and fast lenses. Ultimately, I just did not really know what I was doing, and thought I was too smart in the beginning. This 14-140mm should have been my first Zoom Lens when I started to venture into Micro Four Thirds. My first Prime Lens should have been the 25mm F 1.7. If I am being too redundant, its because I cannot stress enough, how it all should have began...
This is a really great walk-around/travel lens. Gives you a decent wide angle and fair amount of telephoto reach, all in a somewhat small package. I felt like, overall I got pretty good results with this. As with most zooms, I tried to stay away from shooting all the way out at 140mm (280mm; 35mm equivalent). Even my full-sized Nikor zooms soften up a touch all the way out. Very happy with this lens; itll always get packed in my travel kit.
Great lens and worth the price!
What a great lense! Its very light weight compared to most of my other lenses which dont have the same range.
1st copy was bad and second copy is tac sharp.
Nice lens
Worth the money
Fast shipping, and excellent product.
If I can only take one lens with me, the 14-140mm is on my Panasonic GX85. (I also own four primes--12 mm Rokinon, 25mm Panasonic Leica, 42.5mm Panasonic and 60mm Olympus macro.) As long as there is decent light, this lens allows you to capture wonderful photographs. I use it for everything from really far away (lunar eclipse) to close-up semi-macro (flowers), from still (landscape, architecture) to action (events, street photography, even sports). I love it for being active (mountain biking, hiking)--because its right there, on my Peak Design Capture clip, ready to shoot whenever a great moment presents itself. With the dual image stabilization of the GX85 and the lens, its possible to hand-hold zoom shots, as well as close-ups at the full 140mm range. I do carry my Leica 25mm with me for night-time and indoor shots, as low-light performance is not this lens strong suit. If you are new to M4/3 photography, and want to invest in just one lens, if youre an outdoors person who needs to travel light, or a traveller interested in the smallest possible kit, buy this lens.
