Re: What's the truth about the Panasonic 14-140II?

Okay this is my first post here, long time lurker.
Anyhow, I got the 14-140 ii in a deal with G6 last year. At first I got shuttershock with all my m43 cameras and was disappointed for sure.
Now I will only use it on my em5 with 1/8th antishock switched on - I also set it to f5.6 usually for optimum sharpness. With those things set up it is a great lens, I just wish em5 had 0sec antishock.
Yes I can use it on the G6 in electronic shutter mode but I find the e-shutter is at too high risk of jello effect especially once zoomed in a bit.
Hopefully future Panasonic bodies will help to sort out this problem or perhaps a firmware for the lens.
Good luck in your buying decision.
