Re: What superzoom for my GX7?

Optically 14-140 II is best superzoom out there - it you will look for the users experience, you will find it discussed to depth. I use it with GX7/GH4 90% of all shots and with e-shutter nearly exclusively. And with 0,5 m at 140mm close focusing distance you get some semi - macro opportunities. The difference between primes like 1,7/20 1,7/42,5 or 2,8/35-100 2,8/12-35 is practically negligible so small it is not worth to talk about. However at AV 1,7/2/2,8 all of them are infinitely better. Each of my OIS lenses behave differently as per stabilization. Most of them in my hands improve the stablity within 2-4 stops. This one can quite reliably operate at  4 stops - no kidding.
