.........Also they`re close subjects (Macros, objects at close quarters) - always easy on a camera and why manufacturers use portraits and macros for  samples, it`s a cop out. Shoot a wide end landscape with the S100FS like in my sample and you'll see all sorts of issues from CA to acfoss the frame consistency - same at the long end. the camera is also awful to AF at the long end, it`s very slow .

landscapes are the real test for both ends of a zoom especially at infinity hence my test shots which show the lens in a non cop-out environment , as you can see, the pixel level sharpness is stunning (it was shot RAW BtW)

This is no disrespect to you Mike you`re an excellent photographer living in paradise (sunny photogenic Greece) but I can`t see anything you could dislike about the 14-140-II unless you`re big on Video , you`d not touch the slow, challenged S100FS ever again - I loved the cam in its day, but things have moved on big time .
