I've had some professional interaction with Panasonic as well as having the opportunity to visit their facilities in Japan. There is no such thing as a "bad copy" of a lens. When the lens leaves the factory, all are equal. The assembly is all automated, so they've removed the human factor which could introduce variations. If you see any difference, it's likely due to shipping related damage. When I see such comments, it almost sounds like some people believe that they are running some sort of lens counterfeiting operation.

Are you interested in ocean front property for sale in Arizona?  I can get you a real bargain!
