I have the 14-140mm f3.5-5.6

It is the lens I leave on the camera, since I got it.

It is f/3.5 at 14mm but it rises quickly past f/4 as you zoom in, I could check my photos but just by my memory it seems to me that by 30 or 35mm you can't get below f/4.  That is not too surprising, I guess.

I've been very happy with its sharpness.  I did shoot one small video clip with it, I guess I didn't zoom much while shooting, I was happy with it.  I didn't turn off stabilization and I didn't see any problem - I was hand holding the camera.  So what a previous post said were issues with video could be true, but I didn't run into those issues.
