I understand there have been issues with 'jitter' on this lens, when using it for video. There seems to be a running thread on it:

My question to all GX8 users, using the dual IS firmware update, is - do you still see this issue?

The thread I referenced above relates mainly to the GX7 / G7 cameras, and before the new firmware, so I'm curious to see if anything has changed. I will purchase this lens, but only if it is acceptable for video.

Thanks

I dont have GX8 but the GX8 hybrid OIS for video works only with fullhd and it uses electronic stabilization (not sensor shift). It is just the same thing as using post stabilization in editor. It crops fullhd video so the resolution drops. No help for 4k so the 14-140mm jitters when shooting 4k.
