I hated that too but the VC was very good at slow shutter speeds though and the optics on the NON-PZD one weren`t bad at 270mm wideopen (the PZD version lost that)

Yeah, I had the first, non-PZD 18-270mm. Much bigger than the later PZD version, but I read the long end was better.

the only Panny OIS I had an issue with was the 45-200 - it was pretty ineffective at 200mm mosty of the time because it jittered - thankfully the lens had a switch to knock it off ! . I found the 100-300 was infinately better . the 45-200 is an old lens though , the optics weren`t up to much either . I expect the 14-140 to be at least as good for OIS as the 45-150 which is pretty good considering the 45-150 is using the old "Mega" system , the "POWER OIS" in the 14-140 ought to be pretty damn good .

I have the 45-200mm too, but almost never use it. I can't really say how effective the OIS is on it since the few times I used it on my E-M5 I used IBIS. I have used it a little on my G3, but that was a couple of years ago.
