That seems really odd. Why would this lens be so much worse than the other zooms ?

I completely believe what you are saying, but it does seem strange that Panasonic can get it right on other lenses but not this one ?

I think it might be the characteristic of the POWER OIS system. It seem to smooth big movements very well but maybe there is a tradeoff. It is like the OIS is trying too hard to stabilize static shots and the result is nervous. Like when you press too hard camera grip causing vibration.

I must get another copy of 14-140 to test and maybe other POWER OIS lens too. I must also practise to hold camera more steady. I am not sure if that is possible without any rigs.

The vibration is so small that I think a little bit electronic stabilization would help much. I just wonder if there are any real time stab. systems for computer.
