Please judge by yourself to see would I be a few lucky ones to have a good copy as many others happy users (never forget 14-140 MII is a very frequently recommended lenses here!), or just a few unlucky owners had defectively copies and shouted their satisfaction out loud? One thing is real SS could not be avoided on tripod or adding weight to the camera. Sadly so far no unfortunate user willing to test their bad copy on tripod to see would it be a true SS and keep the mysterious lingering around....

(scroll down to "Shutter-related Blur Problems").
I had a good copy and I enjoy it. Like a lot of happy users out there. What would be a review be related to me. Would it suddenly turn my images blurry?
The only way is pick up one, test it by yourself and if you do not happy with it, move on to what ever lens that might serve you. Your money ruled.
My post is to prove the 14-140 MII is not a piece of junk. It is indeed a very capable one like many high recommendations around. Any intentional blurred image would be easy to produce, it would be difficult to capture something to prove no SS if there is a real lens deficiency (might be, only might be on a better camera with silence shutter sharpness of my samples could be improved, but I don't think they were out of any reasonable level). If one day my grand daddy grade 14-45 out of service, I would get one more without hesitation.
EDIT: Another sample image which was taken from a recent local flower show by GF3 + 14-140 MII to replace the one (wrongly selected as it was taken out of the so called usual SS shutter speed range) I posted in my last post.
