Re: Panasonic 14-150 ll on the GM-5

I have a mk I 14-140 and it's comically large on the GM-5. It's also 200g or so heavier than the mk II.

The biggest issue I have is that I basically have to carry the camera by the lens and I have to hold the lens to balance the camera when I shoot. It's not a big deal, it's just different than using my GH1/G7 with a nice grip.

Oh, and my hand has to be farther out on the barrel of the lens to balance properly. Though that would be less of an issue with the Mk II.

Also, it looks really funny.
