14-140 MK 1 ...

Just curious, but why the 14-140mm I and not the version II?

Slightly sharper in the center, no shuttershock, excellent match for the bigger bodies (Gx, GHx) ....

The penalty is that it is a bit larger and heavier and that it is slightly less sharp outside the center ... but I mostly care about the center on this lens and I have not felt that the corners were a problem anyway ...

Okay. I'm in the process of selling some lenses, including a 14-140mm I to fund a 14-140mm II. I stopped using it after getting bit by the prime bug, so no big deal. My girlfriend doesn't like the bulk of version I and the 14-42mm II I got for her isn't zoomy enough, either.

It should be fine with a Panny body with the eshutter ... otherwise a little luck and some training

I've often thought about grabbing the smaller one, but the cost differential is pretty high right now and those issues, however minor, bug me a bit.
