I got the 14-140 as kit with the GH4.

Based on the positive opinions in this thread, I must have gotten a really bad sample.

Keep the shutter at 1/400s or  faster to avoid shutter shock with 14-140mm.

It is nowhere close to the 12-35 f2.8 and it gets even worse on the longer end when compared to the 35-100 f2.8 and the Oly 40-150 f2.8 respectively.

That is not true. Very sharp at 140mm even wide open.
