Sorry, yes that's the one. My mistake

I would keep the 14-140 then. It really is a gem of a lens and tough too! I dropped mine on a ceramic floor from a metre high and apart from the tiniest ding (almost imperceptible) to the barrel, it suffered no harm and still works perfectly.

I've used it with a G6 & a G7 body and I can't say I've had any shutter shock although since I became aware of it , as  an aperture priority shooter I keep an eye on shutter speed and if it falls below 1/100th I change to e shutter, which i have set up on an fn button
