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

Well I've currently got the 14-45 kit kens and 45-150. I guess sticking with them is no bad thing, i was just hoping the Tamron might be the all-in-one solution I was looking for without the Panasonic price tag.

If you have 45-150 you can turn of OIS and check by yourself how it going. If you can get Panasonic cheaper on ebay, you still can get Tamron for 100 less...

I have Tamron and really like it, and while I have GX7 I try to keep IBIS turned off if possible. At day it is OK. Also, I use it as macro lens more than as telezoom
