For general application you cannot beat 14-140. Until you need 2,8. It is 3,5 at wide end so it just half a stop or so slower, at long end (100mm) it is more (as far as is remember around 5,4 at 100mm. However it is as good as my 35-100 at comparable apertures. However no weather sealing.- OIS for stills is really good - with carefull handling (and my specific hands I get 4 stops easily with some luck up to 5). It has best stabilizer from all my OIS lenses. But beware of video jitter and shutter shock with some bodies.

Just have a look here
