Panasonic 14-140mm OR Olympus 40-150mm f4-5.6?

Before all, I want to clarify one thing: current version of Lumix 14-140 is 3.5-5.6.

Now

I know both lenses, I used to have Oly 40-150, and 14-140 is my current favorite. These lenses are very different because Oly lens is missing crucial 14-40 range. Presence of this range makes Lumix very special and superior. Also, build of Oly feels cheap. Price reflexes these differences,

Optically, Oly is good, delivers clear sharp images, Lens does not have OIS, and did not deliver fun and joy for me, which makes my opinion very personal.

Pana, as I confessed before, is my current favorite. Lens has very good build and feel in hands, This lens delivers versatility, IQ, fun and joy of photos taking. Focus is fast and nimble - the best amid all lenses I have. I've retired 14-45 and 45-200 (both Pana) and have no regrets.

I have less than little experience in videos, so here I have a blind spot. Also it is difficult to comment on shutter shock and how it affects the lens. My current GH2 has sensor mortally attached to the body - shock either minimal or totally absent. I did not find any presence of this shock, but I've taken only 3200 shots with this lens, so maybe it'll come later...when I get new camera body - it remains to be seen

Yes, this lens is not fast - 3.5 @ 14 mm, but it is not bitterly expensive (I've paid $400 on amazon for mine).

I'd spend more and bought 14-140.
