Is the Tamron 14-150mm really a no-go for Panasonic users?

Re: Why would you bother ?

Well like I say, the Panasonic 14-140mm is just way out of my reach price-wise. Its not like I've just got £312 laying around for the Tamron, but at £160 more again I just can't stretch to the Panasonic, as much as I'd like to.

I`d check the shops for a used Panasonic - I did and how I got mine .. check the Various branches of LCE on their website, WEX, , Ffordes photopgraphic, MPB Photographic, Park Cameras etc and make sure you`re looking at the F3.5-5.6 one and not the old F4-5.8 one (which is really a Video optimized lens and not as good at the long end) .

if you can`t find one I`d not bother at all and use the 40-150 + 14-42 combo which is what I`d do on a Panasonic body rather than buy the OIS-Less Tamron
