Re: Panasonic 35-100mm F4-5.6 v Panasonic 14-140mm f3.5-5.6

I have both lenses and both are excellent.  I would say the 35-100 is sharper but there is not much wrong with the 14-140 Mk II either !  Both are superb.

The 35-100 is very small and intended to be suitable for the GM1 / GM5 which is why I bought it (for my GM1).  The 14-140 is bigger but still not huge.

The choice depends on your use - I would have thought the 14-140 would be more flexible but it is a bit difficult to advise.  I don't use either particularly close as I have a 12-35 for that.

Quality wise you can't go wrong with either.  The 14-140 certainly has IS built into the lens.  I can't remember with the 35-100.

If you want small the 35-100 is hard to beat and the IQ from it is stunning ... but that 35 starting point is restrictive so I use it with the 12-32 on my GM1.
