Re: If you have an EM1 ...

I had two different copies of the Panasonic 14-140 II for use on my EM1 and EM10 cameras.  All I can say is shutter shock was terrible, and I didn't really believe in shutter shock until I got a 14-140 II.  I really wanted to like that lens but as much as 50% of shots in the important 1/30 to 1/250 sec range would be seriously blurred-- same with the 2nd copy.  I could not recommend this lens on OMD bodies.

I have the Oly 14-150 and the Tamron 14-150 and have no problems w/ them.  They are both optically good though I like looks and handling of the Tamron better.

Good Luck.
