Re: It's a much better lens IMO...

Frasier,

while I agree that the 14-140 II is a good lens, I think you are a little bit optimistic here ...

First of all, there is a Superzoom which is clearly better in most respects. Best of all, it is from the same manufacturer: the Panasonic Leica lens is much better. But it is for the old FT mount and compared to the third Pany superzoom incarnation it is for sure a bulky beast. While it is not the answer for the OPs requirements, we should not ignore this old gem like you did ...

Second, my findings are in sync with slrgear and ephotozine. Therefore we have at least three copies which are not perfect at the wide end ...

how soft in the wide end? worse than 12-32mm at the wide end I am using?

big concern to me because if I bought pana 14-140mm II , lots of pics will be at the wide end

Thanks
