So, do have experienced shutter shock when using the 14-140 with GX7? How do you get around it?

The reason I ask is maybe replacing my 14-45 with 14-140 II for walk around longer reach travel lens.

You have original 14-140 or MK2?

I use the electronic shutter all the time on the 14-140mm II and have no shutter shock problems. It's a great travel lens.

Thanks.

I bought the Panny 12-35 f/2.8 to replace my 14-45 as my walk around travel lens. On a GX7.

So , now looking for a telephoto zoom.. To use primarily for travel, not for portraits. Also, prefer light, not 35-100 f/2.8. For daylight use.

Recommendations?

The natural complement to the 12-35/2.8 is the 35-100/2.8. I have both - as low-light event workhorses - but bought the 14-140v2 as my one-lens hiking & travel solution. For a cheaper tele option with more reach, a lot of folks like Panasonic's 45-175, as it's sharper than the 45-150 or 45-200, smaller than the latter, and has internal focusing. Or, if you want something small, Panasonic's 35-100/3.5-5.6 is pocketable and reportedly a good performer.
