Re: GH4 and 14-140 stabilization issue

I've noticed a jitter problem as well after updating my old 14-140 to the new 14-140 ii. At first I thought it was the GH4, but after several side by side tests I realized it was the new lens. 4k videos would jitter at random times causing considerably more rolling shutter artifacts -- making them unusable. It was worse at high telephoto. The old lens under the same exact conditions (shutter, aperture, focal length) looked normal-- no random jitter.  Much as I liked the lighter weight, I returned it to the store.  I showed the salesperson my clips and joked it looks the lens is having mini-seizures.

My hope is that a firmware update may resolve the issue but hard to say. Worth noting my other lens such as the 100-300 did not have this problem.
