Hi

The latest version Panasonic 14-140, the Mk II which allegedly suffers from shuttershock is F3.5-5.6, not F4.0-5.6. Is that the one you have?

I've had one for a couple of years and whist I haven't used it that much I find it to be outstanding for a zoom, with good colour rendition and sharp end to end.

I also find the shutter shock issue to be a damp squib as I'd not been aware of it if it weren't for this forum.

It's a gem of a lens.

"Damp squib"!  Perfect analysis.  Thanks.
