Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-140mm Telephoto Zoom Lens with F3.5-5.6 II ASPH, Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Mount and Power O.I.S. - H-FSA14140 (Upgraded USA Black)

It's built well and very light weight. Perfect for my lumix gx85 and a great carry around for travel lens. The sharpness at 14mm is great and it going to 140mm is perfect for zooming in pretty far. Bokeh is decent when at 140mm for capturing nature and animals.

Great outside use lens (or well lit indoors). Stabilization (ois) works great w/ my bmpcc 4k. Good zoom range, wide focal range. Definitely fits the bill as an all-rounder lens. I still bring my cinema lenses with me for full control on some shots. But this is what lives on my camera primarily.

I've got the "nifty 25" also, but I mostly use it for macro photography with an extension tube. The 14-140 is such a versatile and useful lens, I've not even thought about using anything else. With the G9's internal stabilization combined with this lenses optical stabilizer, it's like a gimbal.

I wish that the lens went down to 12mm. But 14 isn't bad in the grand scheme of things. Its' small size and weight makes it perfect for travel. If you can only carry one lens, the range on this from 14mm to 140mm makes it effective to cover everything from street photography to portrait photography. The closest minimum focus distance is about a foot. So don't expect to be super close to your subject with this like some macro lenses allow. I've done wedding photography with this lens and it was fantastic. If you need a singles with lots of versatility, this is it.

Covering the equivalent of 28-280mm in 35mm parlance, this lens covers almost all your outdoor photography needs. On a recent trip I used this and the 12-35 f/2.8 Lumix G exclusively, opting for the f/2.8 lens for indoor shooting or when I needed the extra wide coverage. I can't speak to the sharpness of the lens since I was shooting video at 30FPS, 1/60 sec and f/16-22 most of the time at ISO 100-200 when outdoors, so it was not in the lens's sweet spot for image quality, but I figured it would be better IQ than slapping a neutral density filter on the front. The lens was brand new for the trip so the zoom was tight, though it broke in some by the end of the 10 days and allowed almost usable zoom shots, though my older 12-35 lens was much smoother. Highly recommend as a second lens for semi-pro users and as a primary for hobbyists.

I use this quite a bit on my Blackmagic compact camera 4k. I find it to give excellent results and has a useful zoom range. I have been using it for over a year now.

One lense solution for me. Very sharp optic. I use it from landscape to birding installed on a lumix G9.

I started taking a lot of photos of my son's volleyball games and found myself switching between two lenses. I bought this one because it has the perfect range to zoom in and out at the distances you view an indoor game like that. I really wanted to like it but after taking a lot of the usual outdoor photos I've been taking as well as volleyball photos, the images just looked a bit flat, not sharp, not punchy. Even my son mentioned that they didn't look nearly as good as the other photos I've been taking with my 14mm to 45mm and 45mm to 200mm which are similar in price. I returned it.

Lo he usado para grabar con mi blackmagic pocket cinema 4k y la verdad estoy muy satisfecho, tanto si requiero grabar algo cerca o algo un poco lejos este lente puede con la tarea. Si grabo con cámara en mano con poco zoom la estabilización es muy útil. Con mucho zoom ya se requiere un estabilizador gimbal o un tripie, lo cual es de esperarse. Lo recomiendo 👍

I bought this lens for travel and this lens have + and - features. I love the fact that this lens is pretty small comparing it to Nikon's 18-300mm. I use it on my Olympus OMD-EM10ii and I was surprise how sharp it is. at f5.6, this lens loses its Phase detection or since I am using it on an Olympus model, the Phase detection is somehow not working. But the Contrast detection is so accurate. I do not think I will use my Nikon anymore on my travels. This one bakes the cake. Besides, if AF fails, we can use it manually... BTW, if you guys are planning to use this as a Vlogging lens, forget it. This lens is TOO noisy. There is a whirring sound that the lens emits while it is On and there is also something lose inside that sounds when it is Off. I only use it for stills anyway. Not the silent type. The sound will be all over your footage....Not unless.... Update: As of this sept 27 2023, having this lens on Olympus OMD EM10iii, the image generation is outstanding. However, the lens fails to focus at f5.6 at long shots. There were times the lens rattles inside and hunts. So, I Tried it on Lumix G9 and it was perfect. I have no issues at the moment even when the firmware is just v1.0... The G9 can't update the firmware at v2.7.... Lets see how it goes. I will be back. Update, I made the review 5 star. The lens is excellent in all kinds of scene whether if it is landscape or person subjects. I was amazed in the sharpness at f5.6

I was looking at a versatile lens for my m43 body (Olympus/OM System). Was considering between this and Olympus 12-100mm. The latter has good review but too bulky for m43. I had the olympus 14-150mm before and sold it because I didn't like the image quality of the copy. Decided to give this lens a try due to the attractive price offered by Amazon. I find this lens' quality is excellent both at 14mm and 140mm. At 14mm, it is also comparable with my olympus 12-40mm f2.8. Its light weight and compact design makes it an excellent lens for m43 system. Together with my Oly 9-18mm and 75-300mm, the set gives me huge versatility (from 18mm to 600mm in FF) one small camera bag. Highly recommended for travel photography if one wants to travel light. This lens also has excellent macro capability. Hence, it is one of the best all rounder.

A versatile lens for my new Lumix G9 mark 2.
