For me the choice was very easy. The 14-140 is so much more useful because of the 14-40 that is missing from the Oly lens. When I am out taking pictures, I hate to change lenses. This summer, when I went to Yellowstone, i found that the 14-140 was on my lens most of the time and at least 60% of the time I was in the 14-40 range. In fact, when I was not using the 14-140, I was using the 12-35 lens. Indoors or in poor light I used the 15MM 1.7 lens. I have other lenses but these three are the ones I have to have in my bag.

Do you find the 14-140 results are good enough compared to the Panasonic 2.8 lenses?

I have the 12-35 and 35-100 but was considering adding the 14-140mm for it's versatility and right now is $150 off.

My only concern was I might see results from the 14-140 that I might have preferred I used the 2.8 lens instead.
