thanks for this - been waiting to see something on the lens. probably pulling the trigger monday and trading the 12-50, just need some extra reach without needing to change lenses (cant always change with kids running around) and the output seems pretty much the same. was looking at the tamron, but the weather sealing will be nice to have at the beach and such...thanks again

This is the first wide-range zoom I've owned, always rejecting them, thinking that there must be a lot of compromises in obtaining the high zoom ratio. However, with the 14-150 II, whatever compromises they made appear to be no greater than with narrower-range zooms.  The lens is also small and light.  Although I'm very fond of the wide angle of the 7-14, the 14-150II gives you a great sense of freedom, being able to zoom in quickly without having to change lenses.

I'm now waiting for some rain (but, please, no snow!) to try out the camera/lens weatherproofing
