Here is a link to the original and v.II lenses on B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=panasonic+14-140&N=0

v.II is considerably lighter and more expensive (at B&H), and somewhat smaller and faster at 14mm. It has the newer IOS system and takes 58mm filter instead of 62mm. I think the consensus is that v.II is considerably better for still photography, but may exhibit shutter shock at certain mechanical shutter speeds (potentially 1/60 to 1/250???). Also, some report that it can exhibit jitters in handheld video.

I like my v.II a lot for stills.
