Re: Did you consider the Olympus 14-150?

I`ll re-do ths as the forums post editor is faulty with a longer reply

You have certainly had a string of bad luck trying to find a superzoom for landscapes at infinity.

I haven`t actually - the Sigma 18-200-II OIS of 2013 was better than the 18-270 Tamron I had and the previous 18-250s/18-200s on APS-C by various makers so did me up til recently -

M43 wise , I tried the Oly 14-150 twice and it didn`t cut the mustard (I had Oly bodies too at the times) and the Panny 14-140 Mk1 didn`t either even on a GH1 - but the Panny Mk2 DOES in that it actually matches or beats two excellent kit zooms .....

the Tamron now is oinly even worth considering with an Oly body and even them I`d want it to ne 5 Axis IBIS and even then from the samples I`ve seen the Panny Mk2 beatrs that also optically .

this doesn`t take anything away from that the Panny lens needs to be "fixed" for its Video IS and SS prone issues and I`m amazed that panny haven't done something ---- but then Oly haven`t fixed the various EM1 issues and couldn`t be bothered to put EFC on the EM5, EPL5 and EPM2 all of which use the same sensor as the EM10
