Is anyone using the OM10 with the mk11 version of the 14-140 please? If so, is the lens OK with the small size of the camera, e.g. without the grip, or does it get 'front heavy' due to the size of the lens against the small camera body?

Thanks for any opinions.

I don't have the 14-140 but about a month ago I asked for opinions between it and the Tamron 14-150 for my E-M10. Got some interesting replies about these two lenses as well as the Olympus 14-150mm. I wound up ordering the Tamron, but returned it after I found I didn't like the results I was getting with it. Personally, I think these super-zooms are trying to cover too large a focal range with one lens.

Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.6 vs Panasonic 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 Power OIS on E-M10

Also there was a recent post from one of our Scandinavian members who says the Panasonic support has confirmed that the OIS does not work properly on the new version of the 14-140 and they have no idea if or when Panasonic will issue a firmware update to correct it.
