I will buy the 100-300 lens but have choice between 12-60 and 14-140, I think the gap between 12-60 and 100-300 may be annoying. Is the kit lens 14-140 good? dual stabilised? The separate 14-140 is £400-£600+, way too expensive. And the G80 doesn't come with 14-140 in UK.

I don't know much about the original 14-140 does not support Dual IS but the mark II version does.

Careful ... there are actually 3 versions of the 14-140. The original f5.8 version is bigger and less supported. The f5.6 version and the Mk II differ primarily in that the II is weather sealed. I think the f5.6 Mk I does support Dual IS after a firmware update, but it would be good to double-check.

Anyway, it's a great lens for versatility and never disappoints me.
