Thanks. That's very interesting. Your 35-100 seems to me to be much sharper than 14-140ii. I wonder if you were lucky or the other guys unlucky

Note that his example image at 100mm was taken at f/5.6.

I don't have any issues with the Lumix X 35-100mm f/2.8 lens at 100mm f/5.6. Stopped down two stops, it performs fine. My problem with the lens is at 100mm f/2.8-4.

I bought the lens to use it near wide open at 100mm, which is why I was disappointed. If I wanted to use a lens at 100mm F/4.5 or smaller, I could just use the much cheaper 45-150mm f/4-5.6, which does perform very well, see examples here:
