New versus old

I had the Lumix G Vario HD 14-140mm f/4.0-5.8 with my original Lumix GH1, and it served a purpose as a good superzoom.

However, I replaced it when I got my GH3 with a Lumix G Vario 14-140mm Mk2, and I have to say that it was better in every aspect: image quality, weight, size, faster aperture at both long and wide ends, and better OIS.

I found my original zoom to be quite soft, while with the Mk2 I sometimes struggled to tell the difference between shots taken with it and the PL25mm - it is that good.

Cheers,
Paul
