Has anyone used G7 + 14-140 to shoot the Moon?

Ok, that's a rather strange request, let me explain...

A bit more than 1 year ago I found a G3 for sale at ridiculously low price, and I decided to try it in order to get to know the M43 system. I had a blast with it, and when I sold it at a small profit I decided to keep my eyes on the market to wait until I could find a good deal on the G7, which is currently the most interesting M43 camera for me, at least considering price/performance.

I found a guy who'd like to sell his G7 body only at a very good price, but if I got the G7 I'd probably consider selling my Sx50 because the G7 would take its place as a lightweight hiking/cycling camera when I don't want to carry the 6D with me.

For convenience sake, my first purchase would probably be the 14-140. Now 280mm equivalent is much shorter than the 1200mm of the Sx50, but of course the G7 has a bigger sensor, much better image quality and the 14-140 is optically better than the fixed lens on the Sx50.

It would be very helpful for me if anyone could show me a heavy crop of the full moon we've had recently to see what to expect at the long end from the G7 + 14-140 combination. I also have the 100-300 on my sight, but that would not be my first "walk around" purchase, of course!

Thanks!
