I took off 1/2 star because the auto white balance isn't very good, however, it's fairly easy to do a custom white balance, and once done, the color is quite nice.

I took off 1/2 star because my first copy was soft between 14-50mm, however, the 2nd copy is fantastically sharp all though the focal range. Seriously, when you get a good copy, this is a wonderfully versatile lens, and not that heavy.

An amazing lens. High build quality, easy and FUN to use, and quite sharp. Combined with the GX8, the stabilization is almost unbelievable. I can shoot at 400mm handheld, with about an 85-90% hit rate in good light. Fast focusing too. If you can afford the high price, you won't be disappointed.
