Re: To Panasonic 45-175 users: feedback from your experience please

If you've had both the 45-150 and 45-175, is there any difference in sharpness between the two?  I'm a new GX9 owner and bought the 45-150 as it seemed such a bargain at $147 but my first copy was not sharp at all and the second one much improved, but not as sharp (at 60mm) as the kit 12-60, 3.5-5.6 lens that came with the camera.

I just acquired this lens and used it this week on my GX-85 walking around NYC. I am very happy with it so far. In two weeks I plan on using it for its intended purpose of shooting an air show in Florida. I traded up from the 45-150mm and like both the zoom-wide angle button on the side and also the fact that the lens does not change length as you zoom. Additionaly the GX-85 EVF shows the exact zoom range as you zoom.
