Re: Is the Panny 14-140 worth $150 more than the Oly 14-150?

can't really answer your question since i have no experience with the Oly. but like many times before i'd like to point out that Pana and Oly zoom lenses do zoom the opposite way. this may or may not be a point that should be considered in your decision. coming from Minolta / Sony, Oly zooms just feel wrong to me, so i prefer Pana zooms, other things like sharpness, focal range etc. being equal.

i'm by the way quite happy with the Pana 14-140 II sharpness wise (i don't expect prime lens sharpness from a superzoom) but the bokeh can be a bit harsh sometimes. the 45-200 and 100-300 are much more to my liking in this department.
