Re: Panasonic 14-140 f3.5 Upgrade?

That is a question you will have to answer for yourselve in the end.

But here is my opinion: I started with the olympus 2 lens kit, a 14-42 and a 40-150. I bought it to give me a nice reach and it gave me a nice reach. But I had the idea I missed too many pictures because I was swapping lenses. So I sold the 40-150 and bought the 14-150.

I prefer prime lenses but on family outings I mount the 14-150 and create memories.

So if you think you will buy a longer zoomlens to supplement your 14-42, yes in my opinion it is worth it to spend $200 more and get a superzoom.
