Hi, this may not be the place to raise this matter, but I hope someone may respond or direct me to a more appropriate thread.

My question is relating to the Pan 14-140 on amazon.uk showing for sale at £389. This is fine except it also shows a newer model for £523. I have checked the tech specs for both and they seem exactly the same.

Can somebody explain the difference in price to me, if any? Both are f3.5-5.6.

I am researching this lens and very close to purchasing it. Thank you in advance.

I've had a look on Amazon and the cheaper one is indeed the f3.5. They may be releasing a re-skinned 'matte' version soon, hence the price drop.

An excellent price for the lens. It's a great kit lens.

They re skinned the 14-140 MK2 and 14-42 MK2 to match the G7 and GX8. 45-150 got the same treatment I think.
